Hello everyone!
My name is Gems360, and I absolutely love Ford Rangers. My first truck was a 1994 2wd Super cab Ranger. The PO had installed a 3inch lift kit and 31s on Hot Wheels rims. I loved it. When the engine died, I replaced it. When the infamous a4ld bled to death in a waffle House parking lot, I converted to a manual.
My first thread on this site was 5 years ago. I had unfortunately experienced a fire in my engine bay. This was due to a faulty fuel pressure regulator, which squirted gasoline on the spark plug wires enough to melt the insulation, and the rest is history. Since then, I have been constantly improving my knowledge and experience with Rangers. I have now owned 4 different variations of Rangers, and I am convinced that it is the perfect truck for my needs. As you can see in my old classified ad, I toyed with the idea of a Ranger truggy for a while, before deciding on the opposite direction.
I now live in the back of my long bed 1988 Ford Ranger. I am also in the beginning/middle of a turbodiesel conversion, utilizing a Mercedes OM617, a Mercedes4x4 adapter plate, an M5R2 transmission, and an NP205. I intend to do build threads on this conversion, my truck camper, and my many other ranger oriented projects.
I am thankful to have access to this wealth of knowledge and this community of fellow enthusiasts. I look forward to learning from others, and possibly sharing what I've learned as well.
