New member from down South - Way down South

[yuriklan]

Hi all! I'm a lurker that decided to post something and was blown away with the help that I got from the nice folks in this forum. I'm from down South - WAY down south, in Southeast Brazil. I got my 95 Ranger, an 4x2 American 4.0 STX SuperCab, around a year ago, and I have been slowly fixing it - the previous owner definitely didn't take care of her. I call her "American" because the 94 and 95 Rangers in Brazil were imported directly from New Jersey, USA, and not manufactured in Argentina, as the 96 and onwards were.

I already fixed a bunch of stuff:
- shock absorbers
- headlights - from LED to the original headlight casings and lamps
- external rearview mirrors
- replaced a really bad third-party radio with an original tape deck, now fully functional
- put some Continental LX2 tires, with the 15' Explorer wheels
- head gasket
- all filters and fluids
- rewired the alternator
- refurbished the radiator
- in the process to replacing the air conditioning condenser, that was completely fucked up
- replaced the tranmission disk
- replaced the DPFE sensor and all EGR hoses
- exhaust collector gasket
- installed a third-party, more modern alarm system
- cooling fluid reservoir

And there's a lot of small stuff that I still need and want to do with it. Besides that, she runs like a dream, and I already hauled a lot of stuff for my dad farm. Thanks a lot, folks!

Beautiful little American!
I'm guessing there's not much salt on the roads down there

Welcome to TRS.

Zero salt! Only in coastal areas you can get some rust, but I'm far away from the ocean, so no real rust here.

Thanks!
