2004 Ford Ranger with Rare Wildernest Camper shell.
Great 4WD Off-road machine with compact truck bed living for overlanding, climbing, skiing. very versatile with small foot print and 4WD. Provides van level living with a fraction of the cost and size. Only selling to invest in a larger rig to support a growing family. Has been the perfect truck camper to support my climbing and skiing trips!
Had a Front end fender bender last fall. Missing lower front end bumper valance (lower plastic piece). no other damage, part ~100 bucks. haven't replaced due to considering an ARB front bumper with winch.
