Our new rig
 

I traded my Tin top Sami and a few other things for this today. I'm hoping it's a good DD for the wife.

Nice truck! Is it a 4.0 6 cyl. 5 speed?

1998, 3.0 6cyl, 5-speed

I had one of those in a 2000 Ford Ranger Extended Cab variety... Mazda (foreign?) standard trans if I recall... I always wanted the 4.0... but settled for the 3.0...

...then, more recently, I wanted a DuraMax and settled for a 454... never learn I guess.

Nice looking truck... IMO it needs the front bumper vallance (or whatever it's called).

i disagree! i think it needs a prerunner bumper and long travel suspension! then hit some jumps and some highspeed dirt road driving.:beers: :D

Ahh but the pre-runner bumper, bubble fenders, and long travel suspension.... doesn't exactly scream out Daily Driver...

Now that I think about it... I'm not even sure where the comment came from... it's like the pot calling the kettle black... mine got damaged in a wreck, and never replaced in 3 years or so... sold it like that.

:beers:

I have the front valance I just need to see if it can be reused. The plan is to make it a pre runner at some point but for now it's just a DD so if I can make the stock valance work I will. I will more then likely solid axle / 4 link it when the wife get's a new ride in a couple years.
