Bye bye Ranger

[Joe_Roofer]

​

Well folks, it's been a while since I posted anything here on these forums but I felt like I should do so now. After ten long years I had to sell my Ranger. I recently moved to an apartment building where working on your rig is strictly prohibited, not to mention I only have one parking space (for my '04 Taurus)
Well I guess the point of my post is to thank all of you who helped me through my problems (big and small)with the truck and in the process I hope maybe I helped others along the way.Here's a couple shots of it when I got it, after a quick bondo stuff & buff:



And here's a couple more recent pics (I did fab up a simple rear bumper after that last picture was taken, the fiberglass fenders and mis-matched bed were replacing badly rusted body panels, my bondo work in the first two pics was really rather good if I do say so myself. They were rotten!!! ):



The truck went great off road with the addition of the no-slip locker, and just having the winch out front gave me the confidence to go places I would otherwise shy away from. I bought the rig for $600 and, ten years later sold it for the same. It needed work and I had nowhere to work on it so I had to let it go. A sad day for me.
But I am already planning to find another!!!

Glad you were able to make use of the site. Hope to see you back.

Could you have paid to store it? Sorry for your loss

Sorry you had to let it go...that sucks.


BTW, what lift and size tires are on in in the 1st pic?
