Hi guys.
My name is Juan. I'm 36 years old and I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
I've got an '04 Ranger 2.5 TD 4x4 XLT double cab. I've done a few mods so far. ARB winch bar with TMax 9500lbs winch. Raised suspension and custom steel overland canopy.
Love my Ranger to bits. Wife and I go camping in the bush a lot together with my two girls.
I realise you guys prob don't have the diesel 2.5 but I'm still keen to read about your trucks and the mods you do.
Cheers from sunny South Africa

Re: Newbie from South Africa
Okay
as promised here are some more pics of my Ranger
The 1st, 3rd and 5th pics were taken at one of our local trails called Brakkeduine. (an Afrikaans word for Brak Dunes)
The 2nd pic was taken at Atlantis dunes in Cape Town.
The 4th pic was taken at one of our local beaches where we took part in a beach clean up initiative. That trailer at the back is loaded with washed up tractor tyres we collected on the beach. That's my mate Phillip also with his 2.5TD Ranger.

Great photos and a serious looking truck!! I bet there's a few guys on the forum that would KILL for that front bumper/winch!!
Photo on the beach is my favorite..
Oh,and by the way ,when they built your truck at the factory, they put the steering wheel on the wrong side !! Just kidding!!

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Torque it down till it breaks off, then back it off 1/4 turn.
