Hey yall I got a 2003 Rancher es 350 2x4 in show room condition with 800 miles and a cover for $2450 . I love this thing , friggin awseome , i woulda liked a 4x4 but it gits - r - done

 

good choice. i love my rancher. its 4x4 tho. if you ride mud, i would put some gators or mudbugs on the rear and youll see a big improvement in traction. my friend has gators on 2wd bayou and they work great for him. he still cant go through the stuff as good as me but still better than stock.

 

Yeah I want to get a tire like that and put a winch on it then I will have what i need ! later man happy trails

 

Congrats on the new machine! Ranchers are awesome, and ultra durable. Just change the oil often and clean the air filter and lube it when it starts getting dirty. Someone else on here was posting about Ranchers on ranches that have over 10,000 miles on them, so you should have alot of life in yours to say the least.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

The 2wd is an extremely capable machine, and it is even half-way sporty! The 4wd has 35 extra pounds of differential and drive shafts right over the front axle, where weight does the most harm to handling! I only need the 4wd when the rocks get way to big or the snow gets way to deep, otherwise the 2wd is just fine and a lot more fun.
