Hello from Nothern Virginia

[Xtreme187]

Hello everyone, Name is Jay and I am new to this forum. I have been a lurker for a week or so and love what I see as far as info and everything here. I am a tattooist and body piercer by trade and a father of twin 19 month old girls and a 5yr old stepson and 7yr old step daughter.

I will be picking up my first "Ranger" tomorrow. It is in quotes because I dont think much of it is a Ranger anymore besides the some of the of the bed and the drive train lol. I am going to be the proud owner of the beauty you see below. I cant wait.

B series is a Ranger. I'm sure it's on air.

Not bad dude. Looks like you've done tons of work. Welcome to TRS!

I meant by what he said that was not ranger on it =P

 

[Xtreme187]

The only real thing left that is a ranger is the cab and the drivetrain i.e. engine and trans.

k, nice lookin, plans?

 

[Xtreme187]

Not really much left to do. I wanna get a decent stereo in her. I need to fix a dent in the roof. but other than that I am satisfied with how she is now. Just gonna drive it till something needs fixing. Here are some pictures I took this weekend. Around where I live you dont see something like this everyday. I love driving this thing. Makes you feel like a rock star. More than my antique cars and motorcycles.

Nice truck!

No power steering or AC?

BTW, I like your sig!

 

[Xtreme187]

No power steering, a/c, or heat. Its not hard to drive without the PS I can live without A/C and its a summer only truck so no heat needed. lol

 

[jhammel85]

Someone has done a hell of a lot of work! I like the interior a lot.

 

[Ranger Kip]

Hopefully you like this Ranger so much you get another one for winter!

Welcome to the Ranger family! Once you get one you'll be looking for another!

I have been thinking of buying a 1993 splash like this one but stock. Good thing I have a wife that understands and is ok with the spending habits on "toys". She loves the mini truckin scene so she is a keeper in my book. Also my twin daughters love the new truck. I let them play with it and make it go up and down. Love to hear the giggles they produce when it does.
