Hello

[lneidlinger]

With how much I have looked through the tech library I thought it was about time to register here on the forums. Anyways I bought my first car for $600, a ford ranger of course. I've slowly been putting a little bit of money here and there into it to make it a bit better. It is coming along nicely so far, and has proven to be a very reliable little truck.

1991 Ranger
Single cab, short bed 2WD
4.0 V6, A4LD automatic
3.08 open 8.8"
exhaust...what exhaust, officer?

uhh...

not much more to say here, its pretty much stock except for the new wheels and tires and a new stereo and speakers. Me and my friends have dubbed this truck "Rudy" as it "...may not be the strongest or the fastest, but it can be the toughest."

It's been through a lot and has never left me stranded, and continues to annoy my friends in being faster than all their more expensive trucks and getting better gas mileage.

Pics...to come. Michigan weather, she's not so kind.

That's a nice looking truck. I like the look of the 89-92. Are you gunna lift it?

 

[lneidlinger]

Probably not. Its just a little 2WD. Maybe level it eventually. After I do some bodywork, maybe I'll try and find a limited slip 3.55 rear end to help in the winter, I live on a "farm" and sometimes I have to do some light offroading.
