New Canadian Recruit to TRS!

Hello everyone! First off I have to thank the creators of this site and the fine folks that keep this site running smoothly. What an amazing resource!

I just bought my first ever Ford. It is a 1992 Ranger XLT 2wd Supercab. It has a pretty rare set up i think in that it is a 5 spd, 2wd with the 4.0 V6. It is a 2 owner truck completely stock except for a nice Kenwood deck and some aftermarket speakers in the stock speaker holes. The truck is in mint condition with no rust and a matchIng colour canopy. I will have pics up soon. My only issue is it needs rotors as there is a bit of a shimmy braking at highway speed and the clearcoat on the rims is a bit shoddy seeing as the rest of the truck is so nice. I have never replaced rotors before and hope it is easy and I can find a guide somewhere on here and I plan to use heavy duty Easy-Off oven cleaner to strip the weathered clearcoat off. I then plan on buffing them a bit and reclearing. Has anyone done that to stock alloys? I got the info from another site. I appreciate any guidance.

Thanks!

Thats a really nice truck. Welcome!

Thanks! I really like it so far. Evn though it is down almost 50 hp and 25 ft/lb of torque on the new 4.0 V6 it is still a ton of fun to drive. The interior is the newer style that is in the '93 and newer trucks so it hardly even looks dated.
It needs tires so I am putting BF Goodrich P225/70 14's on it once I get the wheels cleaned up a bit.
