Default Picked up a new ranger yesterday

We'll since I missed old red rocket so much(1995 2.3l 4x4) I just traded a quad and a mini bike for a identical 1995 2.3l 5speed 4x4, same color and everything, down side is this ones a little rougher then my old one..body and interior wise, but runs pretty good cel is one because the secondary coil pack is bad, handles pretty good, has a little bit of a shake at idle though, motor mounts? Anyways here's some pics, any ideas on some cheap mods? I'm already planning this summer to get some meaty 31s

Few updates, picked up some almost new rims

image-1613393530.jpg

These^^ but mine are 6 months old and still like new, also bought a pretty worn set of 31/10.5/15 for 140bucks for tires and rims, figured it was a pretty good deal, just got to get the tires mounted tommarro and then I'll post pics!
