Just about settled in on a decision

[Muddinginamopar]

Welp...This is what I'm getting.....hopefully. $4500, 156k, 5.9L. It's a cream puff! Guy just wants to sell it because he has a new one.









THE ONLY RUST!!!!










Cobra 19 CB, Kenwood headunit, homemade truck nutz. Lol. I'd say it's a great deal. I just gotta focus on getting the Ranger sold first though... Anyone want a 2001 Ranger 4x4?

tell him to keep his nuts. LOL

x2...trucks don't need nutz

 

[Muddinginamopar]

Lol They'll be coming off. I like a clean look

 

[Hemi450hp]

Looks like a good deal. I would put beliner over the top of the fenders to cover that rust. Would look good with the bedlined rocker panels.

looks like a pretty clean gal. love me a red truck

 

[Sagebrush2500]

I got a couple buddies in the market for exactly that truck (not the ranger)... definitely go for it.

 

[the codes]

just a heads up, something I noticed, the passenger seat looks like a different fabric then the other seats, check into that if you want.

other then that and the fender rust(bed liner would be perfect!), looks like a sweet ride

If there is some rust, there will be more. I have never seen cancer stick to one area like that.

That being said, seems like a nice clean truck, when you get it, do what you can to rust proof the doors! Gen 2's are terrible about the bottom edges rusting out.

 

[TexasRammer]

Ya id put bedliner over the top of the fenders like Matt said. Other than that it looks pretty good. good luck with it

 

[bigbadram1500]

yah, nuts gotta go LOL

other than that, looks awesome

I heard that if you sprayed some WD40 into the bottom, it'll stop it from rusting....that true? Other than that I'm spraying undercoating on it before I do anything with it and probably gonna bedline the wheel wells.

It looked like a seat cover to me, but I'll look into it. I'll talk to the guy again tomorrow and ask.

Looks pretty clean! Like others have said bed liner will cover those fenders up real well. That's what I did!! Good luck with getting it hope you can get the ranger sold

 

[Muddinginamopar]

Quick Q... What's the 8 lug bolt pattern? 8x4.5?

 

[Muddinginamopar]

Okay, talked to the guy again today. He said that it was just a seat cover.

 

[wermbang]

Looks like a pretty decent truck

 

[Muddinginamopar]

Well...the time has come. Ranger is being sold Thursday, and I should have her by Saturday!!

 

[Trupiano]

Nice! Great price, and she looks pretty good.

 

[Muddinginamopar]

Yeah, I just hope it ain't too good to be true, yanno? It's just under two hours away from me so I don't wanna have to dive four hours for nothing... I know I asked before, but is there anything else I should be looking for in this truck? Problems that could prove to be a pain if I have to send it to the garage? I know about the dash...not too worried. I heard that the main rear seal likes to leak oil too. Truth? If so, how bad/expensive to fix? How about trans issues? Slips, grinds, etc...known for any problems like that?

I wish you the best with your transactions, and look forward to seeing pics once you get her home!
