What should I do!?

[Coleosis]

Its a 95...not like it is a collector item. Buy an 2000+ something and wheel the 95.

keep the ranger man,rice burners are not the way to go.let alone finding parts from the parts store can be complicated as hell!

Everything's fixable, but don't get sideways on a hill.

Jusat my .02, I found a running working 4.0 4x4 (1993) for less than 1000. I would buy a second ranger and beat the shyt out of it. I can understand your delima with not wanting to scratch what you got. Its a mint 94 with good miles, you can still make alot of money on it if you sell it. I would really consider a second ranger for whipping boy purposes.

i have been through that discussion many times, seeing as my older brother is an avid toyota fan and i am an avid ranger fan. Each has their certain advantages and disadvantages.

-the toyotas are strong with a straight axle becuase there are no ball joints or a-arms or anything like that...just an axle. but beware because i know that many will have a fabricated straight axle.

-the 22r motor is carburated, which i am not a big fan of and the 22re is fuel injected. these motors are not reliable at all. alot of toyotas have tons of miles because they have had tons of motors.

- the frames are incredibly weak and you will be lucky to find one without any frame issues such as bad corrosion or bending
