I have $3000 to spend on a ranger. I love wheeling but I really want to build a prerunner that I can still take wheeling. I am not rich and am not looking to run any races, just want a strong vehicle that i can beatup.
I want to buy a 4x4 extra cab for convenience purposes, but my main goal is to jump the truck.
I want to know what you guys have for recommendations on what year to buy, weather 4x4 and extra cab are bad ideas, how much money i really need to put in to get this truck jump-able?
Is it going to need new rear axels, rear-end, ect?
Thanks to all that help, and also if anyone is trying to sell a ranger in Northern California let me know.
