East Texas Ranger
Hello!
I am Bruce from North East Texas. Just bought my 3rd Ranger 4 days ago and like the other 2, it is a total train wreck of broken stuff, previous owner hacks and bad maintenance. 1997 Portofino Blue, 2.3, 5 speed, flareside that I pulled out of a guys side yard for $600 is my current victim. Sellers story was that the gas tank had a hole so he bought another tank, jacked it up, removed the old tank and shoved the new one underneath then dropped it off the jack and let it sit for 4 years. Hint: When the instructions say remove the bed to work on the gas tank...just do it! Even if you have to go all the way to the store because you don't have a T-56! Still have a big list of stuff to fix and parts to find, but I will get there.
