Hello from Georgia

Hey there all. Just picked the following:

1990 Ford Ranger
2WD
5-Speed Manual
Standard Cab
White

Its got a bit of mileage at around 163k, but it runs good, and is mechanically, and bodily sound. Even has a fresh paint job to boot.

Nice site ya'll have. It'll be very helpful

i saw this truck on craiglist the other night in atl

 

[r1hatman]

Absolutely a good deal! I like those wheels too. It's in good shape, how does it run? I would put some platinum tint on it.

alabama0redneck - you probably did, although it was in the Columbus listings, not Atlanta.

r1hatman - it runs very good actually. starts right up, idles nice, and shifts good. theres a few minor issues of course:

replace rear-left brake cylinder and bleed brakes
tighten e-brake cable
replace AC compressor bracket and get new serpentine belt
replace brake pads, and re-cut rotors
replace muffler and exhaust pipe
finish repacking rear bearings
replace fuel and air filters
grease all points
clean interior
replace headlamp and plate light
replace timing belt (just in case)

All-in-all, just a bunch of simple stuff except for that last bit. basic tune-up type things. Overall, its a good truck.

Kool!

Welcome to TRS. If i was you i keep it stock. I'll would replace the front bumper & Grill
from LMC Truck they have all your Ranger needs. I did. I would keep those tires too.
They look sharp just clean them up. DON'T DO A FRONT VISOR OR A BACK ONE. I did & I
shouldn't have & I'm going to take my back off soon. Hope you like our little site here.
If you have anything to ask just ask.

DON'T DO A FRONT VISOR OR A BACK ONE.

He can do whatever he wants as it is his truck. I personally like visors. I added one to my truck. racerbacks IMHO look retarded..To each his own. Where did that even come from? I didn't see him mention anything about puting a visor on?
