Default Looking to b come a Ranger owner

I'm looking to get a Ranger pretty much just for fun. What do you think about this one?

http://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/5335560922.html

Looking to spend $2-3000. I seems like that will get me something in the 1993-2000 range. Any particular years, configurations to stay away from?
Issues to be aware of?

That depends on what you want to do with it, if you're trying to have a weekend off-road toy you'll want 4x4, if you want to build a slammed mini truck then that will work for you. Most people recommend or prefer the 4.0 6 cylinder engine paired with a manual transmission unless you purely want gas mileage, but if it's a fun truck you might as well go big on the drivetrain.
