Hello from Los Angeles!

Hi all! I just inherited my late grandfather's 1992 Ford Ranger that functioned as a farm truck for most of its life. Because I apparently lack common sense I decided to sell my 2012 Chevy Silverado (!!) as it was a bit too big and unwieldy to get around my part of LA, and since the Ranger recently became available I decided to trekk it the 1400 miles from Dallas back to the Best coast. After some work it made the trip with no complaints I'm happy to say! Nonetheless I'm sure the eventual gremlins will emerge, so I'm looking forward to leaning heavily on those more knowledgeable than myself. Also might see about some engine mods later to see what kind of power I can squeeze from that 3.0 Vulcan.

Happy wrenching!

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with all the future updates. Hope your Ranger serves you well for many years to come.

We'd love to see pictures!
