I finally got around to replacing the car I wrecked last fall:
An '05 Ford Ranger XLT, super cab with 4wd. So far its just sat in my driveway looking awesome, but that'll change at the end of this week, and driving it home told me its well worth the wait.
Just had to share since its gotta be the most versatile, capable rig I've gotten yet. Specs and aftermarket ideas to follow, suggestions welcome. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of aftermarket storage or gun security for these.

I'm sure you can "stuff" something in there. Put a lift kit on it, some big ass tires a spare on the roof and you should be able to make it anywhere you want to go! Just a few modifications is all...........
Be safe.............the night is your friend.

You forgot to ahow the ladder to climb up in it!
Lol. As much fun as that might be....Part of the decision making process on this particular truck was its more compact size while still providing some cargo capacity and some more interior room. I can drive a lot of things, but the smaller the better. I only use one eye and my depth perception is crap. I recently found out many people with the same condition often don't/ can't drive at all. I at least still have some vision in my "bad" eye.
I'm just happy you didn't recommend truck nuts...

Looks like a nice ride MIT.
It wouldnt be my fist pick for myself, but I do like it... Ive been thinking of a pickup myself, Id sure like to have a 4 door Dodge with Cummins, 8 foot bed, 6" lift, 33" tires, straight drive trans, camper top and tow kit (hitch w/ wiring)... Solid front axle version of course.... And no, I wouldnt put fag stacks on it, it would stay stock exhaust. :-)
MIT my uncle has had Rangers for years. He drives a lot for his job and has been pleased with them. To my knowledge he has had no issues other than normal maintenance.
That's what I've seen as well, and I was smart enough to take my dad to check this one out. Pretty sure I found a good one from his reaction too. He's called a buddy over to check it out, and asked if he could drive it to work one day I'm off! Lol.
One small dent and some minor scratching to fix on the passenger side, new chrome on the front bumper, and new wheels will have this thing looking brand new again. its sound mechanically. I should be able to hang onto this one for a while, or recoup my money in a couple years to upgrade to something newer.

Very nice, that is what you need.
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
