Steve,
Which truck, the ranger, the F150, or the f350? I'd like to sell the 150 so I can have the cash to buy my uncles 79 F150. The f350 still has to play tow/haul duties for a while even though the 6blow sucks. The ranger, is now done. I found my issues and fixed them tonight. All is right in the world!!

Temporarily local :-)
Hey guys, how's things? Just sticking my head in to say hi. I'm out here for training with the USCG and figured I'd say hi. I'm out here for A school so I'll be here a few months - but wasn't able to bring my Superduty. (Still a little sad about it... starting to miss the sound of the big turbo.)
That being the case, when I've had time to get a paycheck or two, I'm tempted to find some kind of beater 4x4 to play with while I'm out here. (hopefully something that's at least half reliable, has a working A/C and is cheap enough that if I can't get it sold again I won't feel too bad - although to be honest, if I end up liking it this might be an excuse to have a pet project without pissing my wife off....
) Hell, if it's half decent - i might use it as an even better excuse to get rid of her car.
Any suggestions? I'm not from the area - so still figuring out where stuff is. Without a ride, I haven't left the base in over a week. Managed to find a bunch of decent looking ideas on Craigs List.
If nothing else, it'll be fun to get everyone's input - good bad or otherwise - about budget 4x4's. So far I've seen some ugly (but very cool) wranglers, 4runners, cherokee's and one of the big bronco's.
I prefer stuff with some kind of back seat, manual transmission (less problems at higher mileage) and enough room to throw a mtn bike in the back. Have a few ideas already - but waiting to see what my next paycheck looks like before I make any decisions. Even saw a suzuki Samurai that looked like fun - but I don't think it had a top... and still wouldn't have room for a mtn bike without a rack.
