about a year ago I bought a 00 ex cab 4x4 with a bad 3.0. I had been looking off and on for a swap for it whether it be another 3.0 a 4.0 or 5.0. I had not been having any luck finding one reasonably priced. Today out of the blue my nephew called up asking if I would be interested in a 5.0. I went to talk to the guy and came home with a complete 99 merc mountaineer with a 5.0 for a whole $350. All the other parts vehicles I had found had been right around $1000 or higher. I am now a happy camper got to get my 93 back together so I have a spot in the garage to start pulling it apart.
 
Nice find!

How many miles on it? what is the overall condition? from the pic it doesn't look too horrible, maybe worth fixing it up and driving it...

abut 165k and it looks good from 100 yards. the rockers are gone behind the plastic and a lot of rust all over along with he interior is rough also
 
I am happy with it. I am trying to get the 93 done so I can get my wifes car done so I can start on it. I backed it up today so I could get the rider out so I could run the heat and there were large chunks of aluminum from the front differential in the driveway. Has anyone installed the keypad entry on a ranger?
 
Yah, I feel nekkid without a parts rig for the Rat. I have several for my BMW. :D
 
looked underneath the front end tonight and can see the pinion gear without taking anything apart
 
Hopefully the motor is in better shape than the rest of it then!
