Hey guys, I recently purchased my first truck which is a 2003 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 off-road with 73,000 miles.
It's a 4x4 automatic with fender flares and some crappy running boards.
Recently replaced the rear shocks, plus the bracket and shackle of the leaf spring (which I've never done before) since it was against the bed, talk about a pain lol.
I'm interested in learning more about the truck in general, and how to increase the longevity of it.
Most likely won't be going off-roading, but I figured the 4x4 was essential for the snow.

Here's some pictures
