Yes ladies and gentlemen. Its not the fastest or best looking. But as of tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a 1996 Ford Ranger XL 4x4!
Man I am so happy.. My sister gave me this nice geo storm for my fifteenth b-day to start me out.. The car sat in my driveway till last thursday. Right before I was about to get insurance on it.. I was just like. No.. I have a quad. Screw this.. So I sold the car. And yestarday I slipped the people that had the truck A benny ($100 dollar bill). I gota get some money out of the bank. But i'll have pics of it up soon!

Newayz, Sweet man, I Have a 2001 Ranger 4.0 4x4. If yours has the 4.0 in it, prepare for the worst gas milage EVER! I get 13 miles to the gallon with my Pu$$y foot father driving, i cant imagine what the MPG is like now...and to top it off, i just put 33's on it! If you want me to post a pic I can...But alot of ppl have seen it so i'll only post it if you ask!

No its a four banger.. whatever size that is. It gets 20mpg and I already ordered spinners and an air bag system for my 4x4 that is purchased for hauling my quad :rolleyes: :scary:

And hell yeah. If it is that nice blue one i've seen on here. POST IT!

a ranger is a mini-truck, if it was a truck it would be full size. that green chevy blazer isnt a truck either, its an suv. if its not full size its not a truck imo. just my opinion

Yeah thanks everyone! I just brought it home today. It runs GREAT! Nothing outstanding tho.. It is after all a 4 banger. It has 31 inch tires on it and hopefully i'll have pics of it and my quad together tomorrow!

How much did you pay for it?
Very nice choice BTW. Rangers are nice trucks, or mini-almost-but-not-quite-trucks according to bulkdriverlp.:p

Good gas mileage has turned from a nice "feature" to have to a necessity, at least for poor folks like me:scary: :ermm:

But anyways, good call on the truck man. Get some pics up soon.

I payed $2800 for it.. Its nice.. Nothing spectacular.. But definately beats a Geo Storm? right?.. And as far as a rangers size.. It is perfect for my uses.

The truck looks good. Only the first pic worked for me though:confused:

I'll be getting a 92 full sized bronco this summer. I'm rebuilding a 289 to put in it, but I think I'm gonna end up swapping in a 302. And there are some plans for this.
