Hello folks, I used to be a member here long long ago. Now I am back. I just bought an 88 Ford Ranger XLT Extended cab 2wd. Its a bit rough and needs the trans put back in. but for 150 bucks I could not pass it up. Once I start getting to work on it I will get some pictures of the truck.

I will let yall know a little bit about me. I am a long time Oregon resident. 24 years old and I currently work on a farm. I enjoy hunting, fishing, gold prospecting, racing. Previous vehicles I have purchased are 86, 89 mustang, 89 ranger, 78 F150, 93 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, 84, 88 and two 86 Mercury Cougars. I currently still have one 86 cougar as my current driver.

Hope to get familiar with everyone here.

Welcome to TRS~!

$150 is a good price for a workable Ranger...even if you have to scrap it you should make money at this point...but working it into a running truck is more fun...

I paid $1000 for my first one and $500 for my second one (that I am currently driving) and put the two together...if the price keeps going in this way I should get my third Ranger free...

I will call it "The Charm" because three is the Charm or so the saying goes...lol

Howdy! Sounds like a sweet baby jeebus ride. Turn it into a rough and ready beast, forget restoring it.
