Hey guys! I had no idea where to post this so I'm posting it here.
I want your input on my situation.
My Ranger is a 1998 Splash king cab model. I have a 4.0L engine with 276000 km. It has a M/T, full electrical equipment (windows, doors, remote starter, A/C, anyway everything ;P). Its a 2WD.
My problem is, with this mileage, I have some things to do on it. I have to repair the frame, change the tailgate (this or it will need a badass good body job on the old one ;D). I have to change my driver seat for sure. + there's rust at some places on the body, but damn the paint is still shiny at 98% of the surface.
Now, I'm wondering. I already have another truck that I bought back from my father last week. It's a 1990 Dakota Sport 2WD. I first thought of buying it and selling my ranger for almost nothing (if people see the frame, I'm ****ed ;D). At the same time, I don't want to sell it.
Is it worth putting all my money on a 276k km truck ? (would probably receive a 302 as a gift if I put it back in shape) There's nothing to do on the ranger except what I listed. Rack and pinion is new, 4 new ball joints, new speakers, 2 chromed bumpers, bed liner, neat interior, etc...
Help ;D
