One more project

[2lostspace]

Well last night the guy who originally owned my CJ called and asked me to come over. I took the short trip to his house and we started to talk about this Ford Ranger that he was wanting to build up for a off road rig. Telling me that he found that the frame on the left sit was really gone more than what he wanted to fix. I had talked to him about getting a project for the boy and I. When I left his house I was the proud owner of a Ranger which cost me nothing Just get it out of his yard.
The engine perrs like a kitten needs a new clutch and a trans, You could still drive the thing. I took a BFH to the frame and the only soft part is the top of the frame the bottom and sides are fine.
I got home and told the wife and she just kinda smiled and said if you want it go ahead and bring it home. So today I have the truck and the yj to get to the house and some time I have to find time for my boys baseball game. 24 hours a day just isnt enought time.

I Know it is a 6cyl not sure if it is the 3.0 or 4.0. It is a 5spd 4x4 regular cab I think it is a 93, when I get it home I need to get some pictures of the thing, one more thing to do get my camera from work!!!

'93 should be either 3.0 or 2.9.
