Nice score Country! I've got an 86' 5 speed 2.3l (wish I had the 4.0) and I use it wooding all the time. It's good in 4wd and carries a decent load relatively speaking. Mine came with a 7' fisher plow too.
It don't eat and hasn't for years. Mines getting a little "tender" body wise but still runs great and always starts right up. I put an Airlift kit on it too give it a bit more load capacity and it helps with the plow sag too. Check out this site for all you'll ever want too know about Rangers.
