#3 98 Ranger regular cab 3.0 manual 2wd red RIP - oldest daughter's 1st vehicle.
#4/5/6 98 3.0 manual SuperCab 4wd blue Ranger/97 5.0 Explorer auto 4wd/01 3.0 auto regular cab 2wd white long box - 01 hit in back, 98 without engine - planned father & son project, discovered 98 had been rolled. <Joined Ranger Station for Tech info>. Project morphed into:
#7 01 3.0 regular cab auto 2wd white long box hit in front, father & son project evolved to combine with #4 into working truck...no sooner complete than my niece asked for it and my son sold it to her (he was on his 5th vehicles before he put plates on the 1st one - '02 Focus SVT, 98 Ranger, 01 Ranger, 98 F250, then his '02 Mustang).
#8 98 Ranger SuperCab 4.0 auto 4wd red upgraded to long box/ SuperLift installed replaced #3 for oldest daughter - blown engine at moment in garage awaiting open engine compartment surgery.
#9 98 3.0 Ranger manual 2wd blue - blown engine, became the tandem; at farm which I can't get to due to Covid.
#10 98 2.5 manual 2wd blue - damaged box, installed the one from the blue 4wd, sold. (wanted for the cab as #9 has rust, but significant other wanted it off the driveaway)
#11 98 3.0 auto 4wd long box red - blown auto - swapped in manual from #5, sold.
#12 98 4.0 auto SuperCab gold 4wd - blown auto - swapped in transmission from #7, sold

#15 02 4.0 auto Explorer Sport 4wd - sold to niece
#16 03 4.0 auto Explorer Sport 4wd, howl from rear axle, swapped in axle from #14 - Significant other's daily driver.
#17 98 Ranger SuperCab 4.0 auto 4wd blue - hit on front - father & daughter project with youngest daughter - pulled front clip/driver's door off Ranger #9. Sold because:
#18 07 B4000 SuperCab 4.0 Auto 4wd gold - barn find: <50k kms, youngest daughter's wheels.
#19 98 Ranger regular cab 4.0 auto 2wd red - son's temp wheels, will provide cab for #9 at some point...
#20 99 Ford Ranger SuperCab 4.0 Auto 4wd, blown auto....awaiting parts; at farm which I can't get to due to Covid.

I think there is another Silver longbox Ranger in there, but I can't remember where it fits in sequence...

All those I have sold have passed insurance/accident inspection.
