CEThomas Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Looking for someone who works on Rangers, a LOT. I know how smart Jeep was when they made it so easy to swap a ax5 for a aw4, but by chance was FORD as smart with the Ranger :hmm: I love my Ranger but with my new trailer I have to shift all the time and wish I had an auto in it more then ever now :ack: Sure hope it's the same as doing the MJ :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Buy another MJ :thumbsup: From what little experience I have working of Fords, nothing is ever easy with those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEThomas Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 If I could find a no rust MJ with a supercab that was as solid as the day it drove off the factory floor that I could buy for around $1,000 I would :yes: But I will only get that deal in my dreams :( Now if someone had a 98+ ZJ with a v-8 I might trade :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Now if someone had a 98+ ZJ with a v-8 I might trade :brows: 98 was the last year for the ZJ. 93-98 ZJ 99-04 WJ 05+ WK Remember, earlier model V8 ZJs came with a 318 :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEThomas Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 I would be open to a WK :yes: And yes I know about the 318 :brows: We have a 95 ZJ with a 318 that is my wifes. I have been trying to talk her into getting something else and give it to me to tow with :yes: but not much luck :( She is giving me crap about taking it for a drive with the trailer to see how it pulls it :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
