So I just bought a 2008 XLT extra cab 4.0 auto 4X4 a couple weeks ago. This is the third ford ranger I have owned over the years. My first was a 93 extra cab 3.0 auto 2wd. Then I bought a new 99 extra cab 5spd 2.5 2wd. I loved both trucks. I took some time off from the truck world from 2005 to present. I really needed a truck in the family so that is why I'm here now. I have been lurking here on the forum for a week or two and I have found alot of info here. I used to be a Ford technician back before 2000 and for the past 7 years I have been a Motorcycle technician which I enjoy alot more than wrenching on auto's. I hope to learn about my truck here on this forum and maybe even help others if I can. Here are a couple pics of my sweet truck.
