Even the Jersey Devil drives a Ranger :scool:

Well to start it off my name is Ben im 19 im Currentlly attending Engine City diesel tech school in south Plainsfield NJ but i Live in pittsgrove. I finally got a ranger and its been a long time coming. I have a 2003 XLT FX4 super cab Ranger with the SOHC 4.0, with 53,xxx miles...

Now i have driven alot of vehicles since i got my license and none have been able to put a smile on my face like this little ranger does. My 1984 GMC 1500 with a 6.2 is a close second lol. Currently its bone stock. I plan on changing that =]. My first step is to replace the center Consule arm rest that some one broke while looking at it..... I have tried looking online but havent found anything. I also checked my buddies junk yard but the one they had was the wrong one. So where else could i look for one as well as look for cool add ons, parts, and accesoriess?

I full size DD. That way you can pour money into the Ranger and use the full size to tow it around.

Welcome to the site... I and a few others used to wheel in the Jersey Devil's home quite a bit over in Wharton State Forrest, unfortunately not so much these days.

Welcome.....


to answer your center console question....you can replace it with a similar one, or do an Explorer seat mod with a full length center console, unless of course you have a stick.
