Hi,
I have decided to buy another ranger. I have a 96 2wd single cab and want to upgrade. My budget is about $6,000-$8,000. I live in pismo beach so I want to take it to the beach(oceano dunes). I defenatly want supercab but I dont know if I need 4x4 or 4x2 to make it on the sand with that. Could someone sugest a year model and specs that might fit my budget? Thanks in advance. See you on the beach!
CQ

find a really clean first gen ranger(think its looks better as a beach truck), and dump the rest of the money into mods on the truck, u can build one hell of a sweet ranger for 8k, and then you can have ur beach cruiser/wheeler TOO
