hello from ohio - Ford Ranger Forum

yes im from ohio, we won only half our state collage games and are still going to a bowl game, sure it should be the toilet bowl instead of the gator bowl but losers cant be choosers....ha ha. seriously, i could care less about sports, i follow nascar somewhat, use my truck for whatever the need may be, on occasion i pull a 6x10 enclosed trailer with it, its a '93 supercab 4x4. 4.0 V6, 5 speed manual, hurst shifter, summit rear diff cover with bearing load supports, rear coil helper springs, step bars, grille guard, plastic/'glass cap. ive had this truck for about 10 years now, bought it used. swapped the auto hubs for manual milemarkers. i dont do much off-highway driving. its my daily driver and im not going to be making a monster truck out of it. its my 2nd ranger but resembles the first one. both were supercabs, both manual transmissions, both 3.73 gearing, both i outfitted with black grilleguards & matching caps. the '88 was a 2.3 2wd 4cyl, great on milage, not so great on tourque. the '93 is defintly a upgrade, sure its best milage ever was only 19.5, but considering its a 4,300 pound 4x4 with a 245 cubic inch V6 with 3.73 gears, i think its acceptable. eats snow like nothing else ive ever had. the '88 wasnt too bad, but with the right tires & weight added, it just didnt have much power left over.. heres pictures of both. the picture of the '88 was took around '91, wherever it is today i doubt it still looks this good.
