We bought a $500 Ford Ranger with plans to make a desert runner, but first we have to test it out as-is.

This is bound to be the best money pit series yet.
Wow y’all should definitely devil swap the engines
When did the ranger have a 4.3 or airbags in 93?
Saludos de México

I wish you guys made a page with all the links to the items you buy I have the same year same engine I wanna do a massive upgrade to
I just picked up a 04 Ranger with 175,000 on it. 4banger manual, sick little truck.
Just bought my 94 after watching this series, going to give it a re-watch now that I have my truck. Please keep doing this and high low, they are great for people who need a little guidance when building a car
My buddy has a ranger with like 300k, still going strong. What a tank
4.3 was a Chevy motor it's a 4.0L
Ah fuck, I just bought a 2.5l XLT from 2006 and just found that this is the new money pit..
What have I started..
why the civic and ranger same color
Greatest content I have ever seen on youtube… watching these guys bounce through the air in a salvaged, beat to death ford ranger, while absolutely dying laughing, and it leads to a slow mo shot of the bed rack flying off…. truly amazing stuff
The V6 4.3L was a General Motors product right? I thought Ford made a V6 with a 3.0L or 4.0L?
They never came with a 4.3 only a 4.0 and 3.0 v6 must be thinking the s10 that came with a 4.3 lol
Only Ranger owners know the importance of a Ranger.
nice kmk shoutout 4:01 lol right on
I commented on another FORD Ranger salvage and restore video, that these old Rangers are everywhere and they are and have been revered in the real world, by regular owners as well as contractors, to be their go-to choice for cost and reliability.
How many Toyota Tacomas are still on the road as these Fords ?????
that car is like 10k usd here
The 0 – 60 "you bet" was funny as hell
Never made a 4.3.? 2.3 3.0 4.0. Only
The Chevy S-10 would have been faster. SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER
4.0 not 4.3….
That’s a ford fuckin ranger…it could finish that race pulling two of the other broke down trucks while remaining stock
"Save another one from the crusher"… But you're really going to end up just using the frame… I mean, be honest with yourselves here…
Ford rangers are great trucks period
Wait isn’t the 4.3 litre motor a Chevy engine? I know Ford put a 4.2 litre into mustangs and f150 of that era. But I don’t recall Ford ever making a 4.3
i drive a 1997 ford ranger LOLOLEO its sucks so bad LOL
4.3L? It’s a Ranger, not an S10 lol. Tell me you’re not truck guys, without telling me you’re not truck guys. Maybe do just the smallest amount of research before deciding to dump an LS and tens of thousands of dollars into something lol.
4.3l?
My Man
What a Vibe
Incredible Stoopi Fun
So Cute
Seeing these boys just absolutely cackling while flopping around like a fishing a old ass beat up barely working stock Ranger is exactly what this channel is about, and especially every offroad/truck video they do
I love the fact I know the music at 23s is from big bass splash, lord I spend too much money on that fisherman. I love this series tho its epic
WE NEED A CHEAP VS EXPANSIVE CHALLENGER DRAGE RACING SET UP SERIES.
Nobody even realized it's not a 4,3 but a 4,0. Unless it's been stroked aftermarket..
Come on guys
The next money pit should be an old Cadillac Deville built for drag racing
I absolutely love how much fun Nolan is having in this episode
Being from Nebraska, I cannot fathom a 250,000 mile vehicle with no significant rust
4.3L? Pretty sure the V6 options in that truck would have been a 3.0L (Ford) or 4.0 (Ford/Mazda).
I've never seen a ranger bounce like that OmG.
Try any of that with the s10 chevy and this video would be ten seconds long
Nolan is really enjoying it
I had a 1995 Ford Ranger back in 2010, and this is exactly how I drove it on dirt roads. It felt like it was constantly going to fall apart and that's what made it fun.
Can't believe I'm only just noticed there's a new Money Pit
When is the Baja 500 and how can u watch
GUYS IS IT READY 4 BAJA 500?
I bought a brand new 92' Ranger in 93' with 65 miles on it when I was 12(with the help of my parents of course) and I still have it. spent almost 5 yrs making it a respectable truck with my dad and uncle, not to the degree that you guys are going to. and while it's not my daily driver by any stretch it's more than my almost 1000hp F150 sleeper and of course much less than my daily baby, 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody. My little Ranger does the majority of the grunt work, hauling dirt, rocks, manure, lumber etc. etc. and you'll usually find her out in the fields during hay season doing work and she looks good doing it too, short of a few scratches and dings she looks great too. She'll always have that special place in my heart and I'll never get rid of it.
So I'm really excited to watch this series of you guys maxing out an old Ranger.
You guys gotta do an overland or something like that with a first gen tundra. That 4.7 V8 would be awesome to turn into something crazy
