yeah i guess its not too bad. i wouldn't mind cutting that in half, but it won't happen with a truck. maybe a little ranger, but not a 1/2 ton!!

But dont you use your truck to haul stuff too? Would a ranger work for that?

a ranger could work now that i have the trailer, but i keep thinking that the 5-6g's i'll have to spend to get a decent ranger is almost 2 years of fuel, then i'll be looking into a newer halfton. extra maintenance, extra plates...etc. hard flippin descision to make.

My Rangers got 311400 on it, not a speck of rust, I'll give her fresh undercoat this spring. If i did something bout the lifter noise and maybe did the rest of the front end i could pass it off as a 120 000 truck. which i conviniently have a spare dash for. just in case i decide to do the fliperoo if a nice cummins shows up.


My fuel bill with my ranger was running around 400 a month for the last 5 onths, it should drop down pretty good now, be about $5 a day now.

No, the 302 I would like to rebuild is in my 1989. The 1991 4x4 has a good engine in there, decent km's runs strong, doesnt leak or smoke or anything.

Ive thought abought swapping, but I would like to keep that 1991 complete.
