Picking up a ranger today
So im heading out to pick up the new truck in a few minutes. Im really a vw guy at heart, but working at a parts store made me realize how much more reasonable it is to own a domestic car. Its an 04 black 5 speed 2.3, with 93k, and im getting a great deal on it. Ill post a few pics this afternoon.

Nice, the worlds most perfect beater.
2WD Rangers are not that bad in snow. Its all about the tires you put on. I have a set of decent blizzacks on the back of my 2.3 with a 150-200lb block of concrete over the axle. Its not a snow monster, but it does the job well enough and has never gotten me stuck. A 2WD ranger with good tires will be better in the snow than a 4X4 with average a/t tires.

true
it came with a little bigger tires, but im planning on doin a body lift, and then some 32's...dont think i should go any bigger with an hour commute to work and a little engine....already put silverstar ultras in it cuz the stock lights sucked
also thinking about a grille and brush guard, intake eventually and possibly an exhaust
and about the snow- its been great, never driven an auto rwd in the snow but with a little clutch work i have no problem getting traction
