Seems life has a funny way of coming back around.

Name is Tyler and I know quite a few of the guys around here from various Dunes trips and other meets. Haven't had a Ranger since May 2011 and I've wanted another since then...

I found myself looking at a 2002 Ranger FX4 Offroad. E4 Vermillion Red just like the 02 Edge I had.

Hopefully picking her up this weekend. It's been neglected but I'm positive I can nurse it back to health.

Specs on the new to me Ranger:

02 FX4 Off Road
E4 Vermillion Red
Prairie Tan Interior (pattern inset)
Twin Stick
190k

It'll need some rust repair, a new front valence, tailgate, and a jump door. Nothing too major that I can't tackle. Mechanically, it's running strong for the mileage. No clunks, sounds, or vibrations.

It's good to hopefully be back. Here's hoping my car actually sells this weekend so I can pick this beauty up. Camper top is gone already, thankfully.

To be Ranger:





Old picture for nostalgia:

 

Nice to have you back.

Lucky you for finding a twin stick.

My truck has changed a bunch since you were on last

 

Welcome back!

 

It looks great! I think you had it mostly stock when I was last around.

Thanks! I'm at least starting with a 4x4 manual transfer case this time, unlike before.
