Yep, craigslist! I just bought a 1985 Chevy Suburban 4x4, no dents or rust, good paint, engine runs good, new tires, but bad auto trans for $600.

Bought my project off Craigslist this summer.

If you can travel a bit, possibilities are endless on that thing.

You got that right...I met a real doosy when I bought the grill for my 78 project. He was "out there" a ways.

When I bought the dodge for a donar rig, the guy gave us directions to his house (shanty in the middle of crackville)

He didnt tell us that he just needed a ride across town,to where the truck was at until he was allready in the truck. Took us several days to get the smell of that guy out of the truck.

Ranger isnt goona be getting very good gas mileage if it has the 4.0. It makes power but I might as well be driving a full size truck, as they roughly get the same mpg.

had a ranger and a Bronco II one with the 2.8 and one with the 2.9. Got fairly decent MPG. Sure felt that the 2.8 had a little more bottom end, didnt keep either one long enough to really work them though.

Man, I can't remember what I got, but I had a Ranger 4x with the 2.9 and I want to say it was around 20mpg.

Thats roughly what I was getting. In My current ranger with the 4.0 I'm getting an average of 16mpg. Has 4.10's and 33's though......
