My title says it all, FNG from NorCal here. This forum has already been a huge help what a great bunch of people!
I bought (stole) my first Ranger last month at a government auction and I couldn't be happier with it. A 1999 XLT 4x4, 4.0L, 5 speed auto, factory off road package, and lot's more with all of just over 60K on the clock. It even had brand new tires! Thanks US Fish and Wildlife Service!
