Hi guys, here is my 1996 ranger. Ive been hovering around the forums doing research for a while, but i bought my ranger this week and decided it was time to join. Im pretty happy with it so far besides a few hickups. (slave cylinder ...) Ive been wanting a ranger for a long time because of its known reliability and gas mileage. Its stock and i pretty much intend to keep it that way besides a bedliner a small system, and maybe K & N. Its main purposes will be commuting to school and work, as well as hauling my mountain bikes and buddies out to the trails on the weekends.

Options:

2.3
5 speed
2wd
Ex Cab
xlt i think?

Thats about it, looking forward to being a contributer and learning more about my truck.

As for a bit of info about myself, im 22 and a full time student, and waiter at a steakhouse. Hobbies include mountain biking, shooting pool, fishing, hiking, dirtbikes, guns etc...

heres a pic of my truck, as well as my new friend the ford ranger slave cylinder. i have the feeling we will stay aquainted quite well over the next couple of years..
