    Looks great! They are similar to a tractor with a bucket- once you have one you wonder how you did without for so long!

    We have almost the same SxS, and the same storm door.

    Congratulations Dave. Hope you have as much enjoyment as we have with our 2005 ranger. We have a dairy farm, thing gets driven daily, nobody babies it. It’s got near 2000 hours on it. Have put a new battery, starter solenoid & changed the oil regularly. That machine has saved us so much time & energy, it doesn’t owe us a penny. We are very much pleased. Not as fancy, flashy or fast as some but for what we do it doesn't need to be.

    I saved the box from the storm door to cover the windows during he winter. Had a rash of break-ins about 8 years ago and I figure if they can't see anything they want they won't break in. Local LEO told me they know who it is but he left the area.....

    Get your own insurance. It covers wrecks, injuries, if stolen. Should only be about $80 to $100 per year.

    Yup, and I should be able to survive the smaller size of the scrounge without getting laid up for 2-3 days! ;)

    In 6 months you will be like "...how the hell did I ever get by without one of these?!" My pickups spent a good deal of time in the woods before I got a buggy. Now a hoarding trip in the truck is an anomaly.

    If you go with a TJ or YJ, watch out for frame rust. I have a friend who fixes and sells older Jeeps. Most times, he has to cut out parts of the frame and floorboards to replace. The road salt eats them up.

    I hope to get something no older than 2010. We'll see. Way down the road.

    Took the new mid-size out for a quick jaunt yesterday. Yes, Picked up some cut-offs from a landing site for loggers. Can't believe how fast that dump box filled up! Then, drove down a road I haven't been on in a couple decades; it still goes to the same place.

    I'm thinking that judging by the way the back end sagged and occasionally bottomed out, I should've bought the full sized ranger. The 570 seems plenty big enough for what we need it for though.

    Who knows...maybe it'll be in the classifieds? :rofl: :lol:
