Well guys, it's time. After 7 years and many memories and lessons learned, it's time for Lola to be passed on. I've loved this truck since the day I first got it, she was my first. I've done many things a Ranger shouldn't (y'all have seen pictures of some of the loads), and not once has she complained. But, the time has come for me to graduate to a bigger truck. Looking and older single cab F150s, standard transmissions. If anyone is interested, let me know in this thread or in a PM.
2.3 4 cylinder engine
5 speed manual transmission
157,xxx miles
Clutch replaced
Oil changed less than 1,000 miles ago with full synthetic
Thermostat replaced with OEM Motorcraft 190 degree thermostat and coolant changed as well
New upper/lower control arms and ball joints
New brakes up front and rear
New shocks front and rear
New Rack and Pinion
Lift springs up front with correct shocks, add a leaf and shackle lift in rear with correct shocks
31x10.50r15 tires, still decent tread left
New starter
New alternator
Rear end 8.8 swap with 4.10 gears and a limited slip, the speedo reads correct with the new gear change. Changed diff fluid when I put the 8.8 in. Now has 10†rear brakes.
Hood is truck bed coated. The paint was peeling (like the fender is) so I had it painted with truck bed liner. Body has some dings and scratches, she wasn't a show truck. I've taken excellent care of the truck since I've had it for the last 7 years. $6,000 OBO.
