Hello,

I recently acquired this '99 ranger, it is a 4.0 litre XLT with 4 wheel drive. This is my second Ford truck, I had a '91 F-150 for a while a few years ago.

Here it is after I gave it a good wash, clay and wax



It is barely broken in at 110000 miles. Two minor issues, The passenger side door lock actuator is intermittent, and the emergency brake light on the dash does not always come on. Any way I signed up for this forum after finding lots of good info here.

 

Welcome to the club and congratulations on your new Ranger! Tight looking truck, very clean, great shine. Hope it serves you well for many years to come! Do you have any particular mods in mind for it yet?

 

Thanks for the welcome carid. The truck is totally stock and at this point I think I want to preserve it. It still has the stock cassette deck. I thought about replacing the head unit but for now I just keep a cassette adapter in the center armrest. The interior cleaned up so well I did not want to mess with it.

I do want to install a Truxedo Truxport roll up tonneau to be able to carry thing in the bed and have it covered.

The fun part is, I was pretty close to buying a '00 ranger new back in 2000, but I decided to buy a mustang instead. It is almost like following up on something I started all those years ago.
