 Bought this 96 wrecked last year and finally have it fixed back up for the next couple hundred thousand!

 I bought this one spur of the moment.  Light collision with guard rail.  It's the first 4 liter ranger I've owned, and I really like it!  I have had 2.9 and  3.0s, but I was missing out on this big engine lil truck combo.  And since I replaced body panels, the orange paint was a easy choice!

 My first Ranger was a 96 which looked like that one, it had a 4.0, 5 spd, & 4x4.

 I wouldn't have mind having a 4.0L in it, 5 sp but I got the '95 for commuting.  
I had a 1998 or so, not sure '98-'00, 4x  that was my Winter Wing, only saw the road in Nov through early March, went back to the 2x for the mpg.
The '95 was the worse trucking the snow, and if the roads weren't plowed I felt like I was an accident looking for a place to happen !

Toadboy,
What is your next move, anything else to do.
I like the color combo, gets your attention.

 Nothing too extravagant?  Definitely going to be doing exhaust.  Truck is too loud, and that might be due to a leaking manifold?  I'd like to find a cap for it, to get some weight off the back end?  It wants to bark every time I take off!  Strong lil motor.  I'm recovering everything inside with some color (i.e. more orange) to freshen up the stock gray.  Basically another truck in my fleet.

 I have 5 p/u; 3 rangers, tacoma, and a 1500 silverado.  Guess I just have hoarder tendencies 😆.  All are 4 wheel drive automatic except the taco.  But this one is going to be my tinkering toy.  I just painted the grill insert today. Back to black.  I'm gonna spray in the orange bedliner when wx permits. Can't fish to much in this cold rainy weather, so I'll just piddle around the garage.
