Aragorn and Gandalf were close friends; it was Aragorn who caught Gollum for Gandalf to question. The circumstances of their first meeting is unknown to me, but by my calculations, they had been friends for 62 years by the time Aragorn met Frodo.
Aragorn wasn’t just wandering about.

…he laboured in the cause against Sauron…. He went in many guises, and won renown under many names…. He rode in the host of the Rohirrim, and fought for the lord of Gondor by land and by sea…. and went alone far into the East and deep into the South, exploring the hearts of Men, both evil and good, and uncovering the plots and devices of the servants of Sauron.

No other man could have done as much in the fight against the Dark Lord.
For the tale of Aragorn and Arwen read ROTK, appendix A, part five.
