Just bought a virtually brand new 2003 Rancher (no odomether but old guy got sick and never used it.. less than 300 hours for sure - piddling around his little place - the only scratches (hell no dirt hardly) in it were the branch ones I just did since owning it about 7 hours ago [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I told him this things easy days of retirement have come to an end. Just wondering what people thought of the Rancher.

It is the 350 4x4 S model as in my sig line - olive green in perfect condition. I am thrilled. I almost cant wait for the snow to see what it can really do.. but I own very rugged property near off road trails and it handled both my property and the off road trails fantastically. This is my first "modern" off road type vehicle (aside from old mini bikes, dirt bikes, go carts etc. I did a few hours of research on the net and everything was glowing so I grabbed it.
