Mini Power Stroke oficial build thread (RSH's Bro.)

Ok since my bro doesnt has much time or a computer at home to join TRS and post his progress, ill make the build thread for him.
This wont be anything too extreme, basically some mods to enhace the trucks appearance and some other details.

About the truck:
2004 Ford Ranger Crew Cab 4WD 2.8 Power Stroke Turbo Diesel.
Since its an XLT model it has power everything.
the engine is made by International, and runs with around
148hp and 278 lbs/ft of torque. apparently it has 3.55 gears

some pictures.


nice detail, the door switches are lighted

installed a sony Xplod headunit today


playing a bit

it has A arm torsion bar susp and i think a D35
it has no vacuum hubs, so i guess its live axle like the 01 Rangers.

apparently it has a limited slip rear too.

the plans for it:
crank the t bars to level it out. get a full detailing, because the paint isnt that shiny.
possibly ill sell him my rims
get some 31"s like the ones in my truck,
some lights on the roll bar
a full brushguard
06+ mirrors

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
Did I forget to mention: :thefinger: to all of you who can just go BUY a diesel RBV. And another one to Ford for not offering them in the states. :annoyed:

At least I get to build it the way I want it.

Nice truck BTW.

You know what would make this truck even cooler? A nice 4.0 out of a '93 Ranger. Im feeling pretty generous so I'll even trade him my super awesome sexy time motor for that little bitty Power Stroke.
