Default New to the forum saying hi!

Howdy, my name's Chase. I just thought I would say hi and show my '93 Ranger off to the people who will appreciate it.

The first Ranger I had was a '95 extended cab 2.3 5 speed that died with a respectable 330,000 miles on it. It was time to move on, but I had to get another Ranger. I got lucky on Craigslist and found this '93 3.0 5 speed with 130k for 12 so I jumped on it. Old man didn't even post photos but I got lucky and got another blue one that was in good-ish shape. Naturally I started swapping parts: rims, dome light, tail gate, ect. after that I sold the old truck for twice what I paid for it.

And then, I started replacing parts on the new one.....
Water pump
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Alternator
Idler pulleys
Starter
Battery
Fuel filter
Front wheel bearing
Calipers
Rotors
Rear brake cylinders
Brake pads
Sway Bar Link
Battery
Tires
Head unit
Brake lights
Chrome bed Tie Downs
and a few other odds and ends


Soon Ill be doing shocks, upper and lowers ball joints, U-Joints and more

If you have any suggestions on a brand of shocks I would really appreciate it. I'm looking for a softer ride at stock height if that helps.
Anyway, thanks guys really excited to join the community; it seems like an active place where I can learn and hopefully help others with the tips and tricks I learn.

Chase
