My 2000 Turbo Diesel from Brazil
Hello RF! I've been reading this forum unregistered for a while, and i already participate to the --- forum. Now i decided to join here too.
I have a 2000 Ford Ranger Supercab with a 2.5 Turbo Diesel engine.
And i have her for about a year... Made a few mod's and have much more things that i want to do.
Enough talking, lets present the truck.
Here it is the day i bought it:
The first mods are:
Side exhaust
Turbo Gauge
Blacked Wheels
Tinted windows
My mascot (Gift from my girlfriend) It's called Rusty
Explorer Overhead Console
Interior removed
Cleaned
Sealed with acoustic blanket (Floor, roof, all 4 doors, firewall, back panel)
Exterior door panels
Interior door panels
3" PA Body Lift
Shifter extension
Bed removed
Fuel hose extensions
Rear bumper brakets
Back in place
Crown Victoria Police Style
A very rusty cab bolt
Lifting
Block in place
Leaning (thats the scariest part when you do a BL by yourself)
Back to normal position (finally)
Almost finished
BL Finished (i need to take better pictures now)
After the BL i did this:
3rd Taillight Blinker
And then washed her and put her posing for pictures!
My father's montero is tiny next to the Ranger! HAHAHA :p
My to do list is:
-Radio bezel, OHC, Diff cover painted white
-33" Mud Tires
-Crank the t-bars a bit just to level it
-Aux lights
-Custom box under the rear seats to place tools and stuff
-A decent stereo
There's more minor stuff to do, but basically is it.
Hope you all liked it :D
Feel free to comment and suggest things
Thanks and sorry about the bad english (i'm brazilian).

It's the same engine that equips the Land Rover Defender.
It's called Maxion 2.5 HSD on the ranger and 300TDI on the defender.
But it's exactly the same engine.
It's known for being very reliable (defenders have to work in the african deserts, so....) and cheap to repair. Almost no electronics on it. Just pure mechanical

Thank you! The engine is made by MWM International.

Sometimes i miss the response and the disposal of the petrol engines, but that beautiful sound of the diesel and the turbo makes all be better.
