I was under my Ranger today.
And...well...(gawd this is hard to type)...she might be getting to where it's not worth fixing any more. Frame crossmembers are starting to rot, radiator support is shot. There's rust bubbles on just about every steel body panel.
Add in the miles on the engine and rear end (258k)...and it's hard to justify fixing anything, without fixing it all. And it's hard to justify fixing it all on a 2wd truck this old, that's this slow. (Not to mention I don't have anywhere to tear it apart...)
On the other hand...this is the only truck I've ever owned, and it's been one hell of a reliable rig. Pretty sure if I ever junk it, I'll kick myself 'til the day I die for doing that.
Aww...hell. It still runs and drives, anyway. Don't need to worry about it just yet.
