No plans for it yet.... I just needed a truck for house projects. We'll see what happens to it once I have the money.
Ludicrous gibs!

    Those rangers are great little trucks. Parts aren't bad, and theylast a long time.
    Enjoy
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects.

    You do notice that I'm selling my subs and amp, right? I really don't have the money, or the desire. The reason I'm not concerned about the extra gas I'll be using is that I now have a ~3 mile commute. I'm not concerned about having audio in the truck right now.

    Oh, and regarding the house, things are going well. I obviously have internet here now... Just yesterday I got the carpet in the bedroom, so that's now done and I'm in there (vs having everything crammed into the one upstairs bedroom which is actually my computer room).

    Of course, the audio room was the first to be set up....

    100_3192.sized.jpg

    The equipment rack is centered in the wall, and the speakers are centered between the rack and the wall. Of course, that picture was taken before the room was loading with ****, but that's on my list of things to do today.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Isn't it a rebadged Mazda?:D
    Still, not a bad truck for the money. Enjoy. Now comes the hard part where
    you put it to work.

    Ford Motor Company's Twin Cities Assembly Plant is located next to the Mississippi River in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. It is the oldest Ford plant still in operation, having been first built in 1924. Today, the plant manufactures the Ford Ranger pickup truck and the similar Mazda B-Series. In 2004, a vehicle took an average of 20.77 hours of labor to roll through the assembly line, 3.5 hours faster than might be expected in comparison to other plants. The site also primarily runs on clean hydroelectric power from a company-owned dam on the river, resulting in significant savings in cost and fuel usage. For many years, the soft sandstone underneath the plant was mined to obtain raw material to make glass for vehicle windows. The mining has long since ended, but the tunnels remain.

    Despite advantages that the plant offers, it was rumored to be among the plants that were expected to be closed when company officials revealed restructuring plans dubbed The Way Forward on January 23, 2006. The St. Paul plant was not included among the initial list of plant closings announced in January. However, Ford announced on 13 April that the Twin Cities plant would close in 2008, along with the Norfolk, Virginia Ford F-series pickup plant. [1]. Ranger production has dropped from a peak of nearly 300,000 units in 1998, to under 120,000 in 2005. First quarter 2006 sales for the Ranger were under 22,500 - down another 16% from 2005. While other Ford plants were operating at an average capacity of 75% in 2004, the Twin Cities Plant beat that average with 83%, but higher than average productivity was not enough to hold off the plant's ultimate closure.

    Bad Mayhem-

    contact me at dood (at) king-nerd.com and we'll discuss the subs. They haven't made it to eBay yet, and are actually still in the enclosure, in my dining room. You're close enough that local pickup (or meeting halfway) would be feasable....

    The couch isn't actually pink... the flash just made it look that way. It's actually a red couch.
