I bought a 94 Ranger when I needed to work in Philidelphia during the winter and had to end the motorcycle life that had worked for the past few years. Found the ranger on CL for cheap with 285k on the odometer and every fender bashed as the po had dementia with a few fender benders before giving up his license. Everything worked and it was perfect as a winter vehicle in Pa. Towed it out to Arizona for a new job and got it thru the state emissions with a few parts which has been all I've had to do to it. Figured I'd start hitting the local yards and make the little truck a little easier on the eyes.
Found this forum for some ideas and wisdom.
