Hi.
Just found this site thanks to Rock Auto.
I have a 98 Ranger XLT that I just bought two weeks ago.
Plans are to keep it relatively stock and use it as my daily driver.
(I have a 79 Pinto fully caged that will have a 351C and an aftermarket T5 for my fun car.)

Seen a couple of things here I need to find more info on, one is the 40 40 seat mod. I really am missing a center console. The cup holder this has that fits around the shifter isn't working for me. Changing seats is an option also. Now that I have something to haul things with that is.
Has a horrible power steering whine, but seems that is fairly common.
Paint is decent, hood has faded quite a bit, but otherwise it's good. Also has an ARE shell on the bed. Even color matched. :thumbsup: 
Has some little things that need fixed, but it is 22 years old. Dash lights, left side of radio, heater core plugged (I hope that's all it is). Could use new front shocks, PO did rears but not the fronts.
Drives really good for as old as it is. And I love having a manual again.

I know I need pictures, but haven't gotten any yet.

Thanks,
Russ
