I just sold my TRD Tacoma, and picked this up.

00 Ford Ranger
Rides great, like a small car, not bouncy at all
Drives straight as an arrow at 75mph
Cold Ac and Cd player
New tires and rims
Dropped, not sure of the setup yet
New tuneup, inspected, and only 95K miles
2.3L 4 cylinder engine

Whatcha think, sorry for the ****ty weather pics, I was excited to take pics.

cool lookin' truck, haven't seen a ranger decked out like that before.

JDMTyler3326 · 10-28-2008, 03:02 PM

That pretty nice. What kind of rims are you thinking about for it. Also you should SLAM IT and how much did you get it for.

evogsrviii · 10-28-2008, 03:02 PM

nice, the shifter is too short though, raise it up!!!

240sxDann · 10-28-2008, 03:04 PM

awesome shifter! seriously add more to it. make it scrape your knuckles on the roof haha

lownslow95 · 10-28-2008, 03:07 PM

Awesome purchase. Mini Rangers FTW!

Edit: what motor is in there?

97TurboDSM · 10-28-2008, 03:08 PM

i like.

frosti108 · 10-28-2008, 03:10 PM

hahaha that things cool. shifter is hilarious. rear lights are cool. idk about that visor. doesnt match the truck very well (angle/shape wise)

and i wouldnt call it a rad ride at all.

but definatly a cool truck. good luck with it

edit: one thing you definatly need to invest in- CHOP THE TOP

lower that roof like a half foot or so

sillyeye · 10-28-2008, 03:36 PM

Thanks everyone, Im gonna keep it the way it looks, it has Crown Vic rims, and I like them.

As it being the newer body style, its probably the 3.0 like mine. The 2.9 is the older late 80's early 90's body style. If he did find a 4.0 in a 2WD, I will say this, I'm truley jealous.

Vypurr · 10-28-2008, 04:06 PM

Got a picture from the rear?

sillyeye · 10-28-2008, 04:06 PM

Id rather have the 4 cylinder, I had a 97 with 160K on it and I didnt sink a penny into it, there bullet proof, not to mention the gas mileage. V6 FTL

You can still get decent gas mileage out of a 302. I read people are getting like 22-27mpgs with ther v8 swapped rangers.

JBWRX06 · 10-28-2008, 04:09 PM

ditch the visor thing. Please! It will look a lot better.

Sgt. Pepper · 10-28-2008, 04:09 PM

I likes! I'd throw white walls on it.

lownslow95 · 10-28-2008, 04:10 PM

Still want the tonneau cover?
