New (to me) Ranger owner
Hi everyone. I saw that you're supposed to introduce yourself so here I am.
I'm in the Philly area and just picked up a 99 Ranger as a second/utility truck.
I used to have a 97 F150 years ago. I currently drive a Subaru BRZ, which is not the greatest thing for hauling stuff as the trunk is roughly the size of my shoe.
I found this one on Ebay. The body is immaculate and aside from a squeaky belt that I'll be replacing shortly it seems to be in fantastic condition.
I'll be doing some random maintenance on it. I found these forums because of the thread on changing out the internal dash lights, which I'll be attempting this weekend.
Anyway that's me so thanks in advance for the amount of advice I'll be getting from these forums.

Welcome to the forum
Nice looking Ranger
Just as a heads up, squeaky belt means is slipping, and when a belt slips it "Glazes" the pulley it slipped on, so when you put on a new belt it can start to slip on the glazed pulley
So best practice is to remove old belt and then scuff up the pulleys with sand paper/emory cloth to get rid of any Glazing
