WOW....did you actually have to steal body panels from 3 different trucks to make that? And that was the BEST front drivers fender of the 3? Wicked man...

I like your style. A Little too much flair, but I like your style!
 
actually everything thats blue is from another ranger, the origianal (red) before i got it was put into a ditch and tore the entire driver side up.. i couldnt tell you why we put the passneger door on there as well..

and the fender was actually in amazing shape, up until i rearended my cuzin after sliding on some ice.. (he has an 88 ranger ext cab 2wheel drive though.. lol)
 
nice rig,my old 94 Ranger was a two toner until I let water freeze in the block:nopityA:now I'm makin payments and wishin I was hangin with a Frankenstein,lol
 
its funny how all of us first gen. rangers get these nicknames i am small beast. i like the truck though looks like we are in the same boat though, truck, school and no money, and no substitute either. keep the beater look, i noticed it helps hide the dents & scratches if its really muddy
 
Why do all these poor college kids end up with ugly 1st and 2nd gens? I see beautiful 3rd gens for < $1.5K all day in MN. It's a good I don't have the money and space to buy/store them all.
 
haha,,, well to tell you the truth,, i got this truck for FREE,, thats right, FREE. the only money that ive put into it is the new radio, a couple u-joint, heater core, thermostat, and a TON of gas.. thats it......


ill stick to my gen 2. lol
 
yeah mine was free to all i had to do was pull it out of a feild and get rid of the moss. its strange that actually, i had to do all of the same replacements.
 
:mad:damint, why does everyone have expented cabs now....i miss my old one
 
ya, but first gen is now getting old enough to be exempt from inspection and get hisoric tag(in NJ anyways), only a few more years togo and mine is getting historic tags then goins sky high LOL
 
Historic tag?? it's 25 year old and more? Here in QC it's 25 Y.O.
 
ya mine was 200 bucks and i got a tractor with it
but i love it
 
Historic tag?? it's 25 year old and more? Here in QC it's 25 Y.O.


news flash, the YOUNGEST 1st gen ranger is already 20yrs old, if u have a 84 or 85 its only a matter of a year or two, i think under 5 years is close to gettin historic tags, also in NJ there are also restoration tags, the year limit is 20 years for that aswell, no inspection as well.
