I had a 96 that was a darker red. It looked so much like yours that I'm getting sad watching this. It waltzed to the right and I spent too much money fiddling with the steering configuration and suspension. I finally found that the sucker was wrecked and the frame was bent. Sadly I tried to fix an issue with its engine running a little rough by spraying Seafoam into the throttle body. This gunned the motor so much it blew a valve. I was fool enough to buy another Ranger versus just making do with the 96 and getting the engine fixed. Live and learn.
Like most viewers, there's an element of voyeurism, but more specifically, living vicariously through you. I would love to be doing what you are doing because those are nice reliable vehicles. That is, when roadworthy. You're obviously doing what it takes to get it there. As you were working on the driver's window regulator, I couldn't help but to begin thinking of a budget(if I were in your position ) and keeping expenses to a minimum at this time to buying only the " essentials ". So with the door panel off for access, as you worked on the window regulator, I thought some new speakers for a stereo would be or could've been considered a necessity. Huh ? Aside from engine components that are needed and miscellaneous like brakes, wiper blades, etc. ,some trim like door handles, antenna.,......stereo ? ...,.door/ windo insulation and so on . No criticism, I'm just thinking what I'd do. Not much different from your process. This is what is so strange about being a viewer of videos like yours, I bet there is a lot of comments with recommendations and the like from most viewers, and I suppose that these are all natural correspondences and go along with being a blogger/uploader. Thanks for the video.
Good luck in Tennessee finding a rebuilt 4.0 lol . Mom got near same ranger and $4200 to get a motor at auto zone .. But all she's got in it. But no rust and low miles..
Deschutes Royal Fresh. Nice choice Also you look like you’re in Western Washington. I’m from that side but live in Spokane currently. This video makes me miss home lol
I live in the valley. Best brews and best selection. Whenever I travel the lack of a good range of flavors make me feel bad for the people that live in such brew deserts.
@@shadetreegarage4140 I hear ya, but there are some things you can do after the fact to help with that. What device you using? PM me, I'm happy to offer assistance
I have a '93 4.0 XLT 4X4 extended cab. I've had it for 20yrs and it has 255k miles on original drive train (trans rebuilt at 245k). The difficulty with the '93 is it's a 1 yr model and last yr of OBD1. Parts are still readily available and it's fairly easy to work on.
I hope you find a good one! Around where I’m at the real good ones go for about $4000. My Mom still drives hers that she bought in 1999. We know every dent and scratch on it.
