Default "Inherited" this Ranger.. now what?

So I've inherited a 2008 Ranger with only 20k miles on it. It's been in storage for years and is in great shape. New tires, battery, Ford checked it out - good to go! Been using it as a daily driver off and on, it's good to take camping, fishing, etc. Outside of that, I'm not sure what to do with it. I can keep it as a weekend driver - trick it up - or sell it. It seems to be worth more than what I'd use on weekends with ultra low miles. Any thoughts on that?

I will also note that there are a couple of rust spots in the bed where the tack welds are. Planning to get that fixed and Rhino lined - good choice?

Thanks.

Good for u! And that's great that it checked out alright! My only thoughts for you are to change out all the fluids, except maybe the tyranny and rear differential, and tcase if equipt. The brake fluid and coolant for sure, they don't age well lol

After that, you might learn more about whether you want to keep it or not

^^^This, and mostly if OP is keeping it for himself or wants to talk about it when selling.
