Not that I don't want to ask others to join... but as I have been told ssssooo many times, the old Rangers are getting fewer and fewer...  faster and faster.
I will look around, hopeful of finding someone !

Very true. About 2 weeks ago there was a Ranger extended cab 4x4 that rolled on the cloverleaf exit on I-85 here in NE Atlanta.  It did have large tires.

I've been saying it for a few years now, they're either loosing them to rust/accidents or on the other extreme, cut up for parts building desert trucks.  But oddly they're accelerating in losses last couple years.

It really makes parts development difficult to support sometimes.

I disagree. I see hundreds on Marketplace, most overpriced. There are tons still here on the roads, so many our family plays a game when we drive called "Ranger Alert". When we spot one the first person to say "Ranger alert" gets a point. If you accidentally call an old tacoma or a beat up S10 you get a point taken away, and sometimes your privilege to call the next Ranger.

There's a brown gen1 that is seen driving around frequently. This morning I stopped by a local gas station to get a 2 liter for my brother in law, I was the only car there till a 2000 single cab in incredible shape, short bed and a topper pulled in.

Central Ohio is still Ranger Rich.

I see them all the time.  I could be at a stop light and see two other Rangers.  My son has one, guy two houses over has one.  Then I also see the ones that are beat to hell still being used for lawn service or stuff like that.  

Here in Colorado they are very valuable.  When my '98 got wrecked, blue book on it was $1100.  But I got $3300 for it because that is what it would have cost to replace it.  A '98 single cab, 2wd, 2.5l 5sp with 262000 miles on it on the original clutch.  Hell of a deal

A guy I work with just bought an 07 XL regular cab 4 banger with 160k miles for $5000. The clear coat was shot. The truck is for his daughter. He has replaced the upper and lower A arms with ball joints, shocks, rotors/brake pads, exhaust/muffler, O2 sensors, plugs, filters, and serviced  the engine, transmission, and 3rd member. He then had it painted Pepto Bismol pink and put new black spoke wheels with new tires on it. 

I see her driving it around every so often. It stands out.

I see them but all the time also but they are just work trucks, nothing more, inexpensive transportation.

I posted something on my Facebook Page asking Ranger Owners check out the Site !

Hope it helps.

Agree with @ordinarybiker , out here in the West/South-West even with ridiculous miles peoples perceptions of value are far more lenient. 

It's not unheard of to see offers of $3800+ for a clean older Ranger, easy $2k for a clean and unmolested shell.  You guys up in the snow area's, not so much because they get ate up.  I would fear bringing either the '94 or '93 to Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, or Michigan "salt-belt" during the winter months,.. No sir!
