New Ranger owner from NY

[carbuff]

Hello, everyone. I am now the proud owner of a 96 Ranger. Ive owned lots of trucks before, big and small, but never a Ranger. Its a 96 2wd 2.3 manual, xlt. Its a shortbed flareside. Its got its share of common ranger problems such as, bad ball joints, broken parking brake handle, door ajar light stuck on, etc. But its in ok shape, drives great and has new tires. All for a whopping $200. It needs a winshield but the inspection is still good for another 10 months so Ive got time to do that. Of course its filthy, the entire interior is covered in coffee spills. But its the xlt and has the nicer interior so it will be nice once cleaned up. I will post pics tomorrow as its currently raining. Looking forward to posting some questions, especially about the front end. Ball joints. Fun times. Talk to you later.

Eastern Long Island, but my daughter goes to school in Fredonia so I pass through your neck of the woods twice a year.

ok, here are the pics as promised. It was still dirty at this point. Ive also ordered new headlights off ebay as the factory ones were beyond cleaning, all cracked and yellowed on the inside. A pretty decent score for 2 bills, I think.
