I figured since I had account here I should get a ranger

Hello from Delaware.


Been thinking about this for over a year. Finally pulled the trigger on picking up a Ranger to kick around in and drive back and forth to work in. I have owned one before a Pristine 85 with the world slowest 2.0. Sold it many years ago but aside from its sloth like speed it was a great truck for me. So flash forward couple weeks ago I saw an add on Craigslist for an 89 ext cab pretty close to my house. Went to look at it and drove it home. Paid 1,100 for it. Seemed about right

Heres a pic when I brought it home

and another

I picked up some 15" Alloys from the local pick a part thanks to my friend PetesPonies who called me and told me about them.

Here she is now with 2" coil lift on front and Shackel lift on rear.

New ball joints and all new tie rod parts will be on by the weekend.

I don't mean to turn this into a project thread . Just sharing my new to me 89 ranger.

Welcome and sharp looking Ranger!

You don't have to start a project....just start a thread in one of the forums here and post what changes/repairs you make as you use your Ranger!

You've already made some good changes already!

Thanks everyone. So much to do so little time (and money). Interior not quite as sharp as the outside but thats the easy stuff.
