Aight so I called this morning and made sure they were a self service yard after learning alot of LKQ's are wholesale only. This one is a self serve center, 2 bucks you get in, bring your own tools. I am leaving now, hopefully I won't be there all day. I'm take the list with me and I will respond in this thread with my results!
Well... let's just say my trip was a complete bummer. I ended up going to two junkyards. The LKQ didn't have anything newer than 98, and the only thing I found from there is an OHC and a complete disc brake axle (rotors had been grabbed off), I couldn't get up under the thing to get the axle code though. Full axles at the LKQ are like 60 bucks, thats all. I pulled out the OHC just to see how much they would charge, I got it for 12.08, don't believe me, I have a reciept! That concluded my LKQ trip, no Rangers at all. I went to another place named Johnston County Auto Salvage. They had a few Explorers, some had OHC's and only one had EATC (pics below). The engine bay was pretty much ripped out and I couldn't seem to find anything to go with the EATC in the bay. They did have one Ranger, 98 4x4, it has all the factory skid plates and that is where the picture of the radio bezel is from. The EATC, just the unit, guy said he would take 30 bucks, and for the skids, well I asked about just the transfer case one and he said 20 bucks. I am calling around to other yards as we speak, hopefully with better results.
Edit: Also, all center consoles I saw were missing the top lid. Alot of them had the built in cd changer, but no lid. Some were cracked and in crappy condition.

also, what would you charge to pull everything that i would need for an EATC swap in my truck?

Yes.. I got everything for the OHC, the only thing it is missing is the two bulbs for the dome light. They were in it, but they were old. I will take pictures in a bit. As far as the EATC goes, I really don't know everything required, do you have a list and locations?

Man it was freezin here, it was like 15 when I got up to go to school, we havent seen this cold yet this winter.
Oh also, if you find a place that does have a lot of center concoles and OHCs can you tell me where you found it so I can go pick one up myself?
Thanks i would appreciate it.

I didn't actually buy anything. I didn't want to buy it and be stuck with it. I didn't notice if the Ranger had the front skid, but I assume since it had the transfer case skid and the gas tank skid, it had the front. The front tires were off it and I didn't have a jack to raise it up and see.
