Brian.
Oh yeah, another good one - lots of accessories, needs a few items sorted. Mine is fully sorted.

Where abouts in canada? I know a few for sale in my area (kitchener) might even be selling mine soon

the biggest rust spot on ALL ontario rovers would be the spot on the frame by the cats. Both sides

Hey everyone so I have found one I kind of like but want some opinions on this as well, its an 03 that seems to have good maintenance records, lots of good mods (thermostat, gauges, driveshafts, etc) it also comes with a spare T case from a 2000 (so would give me the CDL) and a spare 4.0L from a 2000. If I were to get this one is the T case and 4.0 an easy swap? obviously i wouldnt swap the engine unless it blew, but would it be as simple as an unbolt and bolt up?

No, it is not a direct swap (4.6 to 4.0). Flywheel and crank sensor mount are different, mount needs modified. May have to do something about the ECM, too.

Still could be a good deal, even if you never attempted swap or just sold the 4.0 eventually. Just be thorough while checking out the 03. Drive it several miles, bringing it up to temp, listening for any strange noises. Check frame rails, especially by cats and behind rear axle.

Brian.

Thank you! i might still go check it out, its got a lot of the stuff i want on it (2" lift, AT tires, snorkel and ARB bumper so its a pretty good deal for a sweet rig if it runs good)
