Vehicle Specs

Black 1993 Ranger Splash 4x4.

Here she is. Our new family beater vehicle. It is a 1993 Ranger Splash with the 3.0 V6 engine and push button 4x4. It has 227,000 miles on it. We picked it up for $2,000 and for the condition it seems to be in I think we got a fairly good deal. For an Illinois vehicle it sure doesnt' have allot of body rust besides the bottom of the tailgate.

I did my first mod to it today which was to take those STUPID Splash stickers off of the sides! God those things make it look gay. Ok, it wasn't a REAL mod but it made me feel better to not have them on there. Well here are some pics.

BTW, the pictures do the paintjob more justice than it is really worth.

First thing it needs is a new drivers side exhaust manifold. It sounds like crap with the manifold leak that it has.
