Welcome to the clan...great xmas gift. Hope you have plenty of good times with the ranger.

"What colour is she...man"...

poita

Read on the terrain tamer website NOT to idle a common rail diesel for more then 4 minutes, didn't give a reason. They also recommend a catch can for what its worth.

poita

Apparently the bar was design to fit a PXI and the wing panels were never redesigned for the PXII. I was really annoyed that I wasn't told about it.

I thought the MK1 and MKII tubs are the same?

poita

Use wax and grease remover also really good 4 getting bitumen/tar off the sides of the ranger.

poita

Its like all things you have too pick and choose what you buy from them. If your lucky enough to get to one of there show rooms you can ask them to have a look at the item before you buy it and make up your own mind Yes made in china but what isn't :roll: I have there 2.5mx2.5m side awning really ha...

poita

NOBODY......But myself and MY own hard earned $$$ made the decision to buy my Ranger!!! NOT the ad.
And im not asking FOMOCO to make dangerous ads, just have a little BALLS.

poita

Yep i have been complaining about FOMOCO advertising in aussie for ages. WHY do we need some annoying bouncy girl telling us to buy cars.

poita

Could be a storm in a tea cup 160klm an hour :shock: but I'd want to know this if I owned one, especially if it's a loop hole for insurance companies to use: https://mr4x4.com.au/ma-mc-classification-4wds-need-know/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Amarok+V6+vs+Hilux+SR5+Head-t...

If you plan on doing this regularly then I'd be keeping the battery charged with one of these: http://ctek.com/au/en/chargers/12v It will keep your battery from dying from lack of use. I was told by my RACQ man that it doesn't hurt to put your daily driver on charge once a week this guaranties your ...

Once again FOMOCO put out a sub standard design..... Geez Harrop do a better job.

This looks like what you need also acts as a ramp for the bike and a cradle for tools or tradie stuff.?

Wasn't this the reason why the mining companies started to go away from hiluxes. Thats what i heard?

poita

Plenty of rangers being wrecked here in qld. Seen some on gumtree.

poita

2.5mx2.5m awning mounted to my wire cage and roof rack on cab on a rhino rack..

poita

Try Gumtree as well as mentioned above........ sometimes they just about give em away

poita

Too rich for me especially I'd have plus postage. Thanks anyway!

poita

How much on the white flares? And what part of the country r u in.

poita

Well my px mk1 xls is still running fault free since new, coming up to its first birthday and only getting better.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS YOU ONLY HERE ABOUT THE BAD ONES NOT THE MAJORITY OF THE GOOD ONES ON FORUMS. Im sure you'll get the same on any other brand of 4x4 forums.

poita

simply because the ARB bar doesn't look as smoking hot cool as the rhino or the GMF bars - unless you want the hoops/full bar set up. Some do, some don't - If I wasn't fiscally responsible, I'd get the Rhino in a heartbeat. I'm with you on this they look part of the car.....................Also wha...

poita

Not sure why the sliding rear rear window wasnt motioned to you because it comes as a standard fitment. Every Alpha i looked was fitted with one, the drop down rear is an extra in fact i asked to see one and they couldnt show me one, it had to be specially ordered at an extra cost...$$$$$$$. Yep rea...

poita

The Alpha doesnt need to come with a fold down rear window its only a CON if you order it with a rear folding window it comes standard with a sliding rear window which is great for ventilation and positive pressure of canopy. Ive had my Alpha now for over a yr and its the best thing since sliced bre...

poita

Just picked up my new TJM Rea step bar....Awesome got it during there March catelogue special....they threw in a brand new Recovery jack. Fitted ECB nudge bar and 42" light bar https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/7R05ht00mbwrGaptK17xboaxPXMGgiFJyWk4shs9Hr-TvwxdevqIGJ4laKuHI_WgUO2fwcPekd60GVYqa9aE3HZo2...

poita

Not being a smart A$$ but if u think its loud now wait until it runs in around 5000 klm mine got loader.Still love it though its a diesel after all...Welcome aboard.

poita

This kit is designed to run off the factory battery in the engine bay. But if you gave a s3cond battery under the bonnet??

poita

Where abouts is this place poita? Cheers

Mate it's up near Redcliffe I'll get the details when i get home?

poita

The wiring loom to the lights is rated to 20A.

Yet the whole system has a 30A fuse? LOL!!!

poita

I personally haven't done it but my local 4wd shop has a Mk1 PX ranger and they showed me there setup with an optima battery and CTEC battery charger system. It was a very neat and compact setup fitted perfectly in the two under seat compartments. I'll be using it for when I'm ready to go twin batte...

poita

They said they aren't really for use with driving lights and that the kit is more for entry lights.

That sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about, it clearly states on the box that it's designed for all LED / HID driving lights?!?!?!?!?.

poita

Is this the one Poita? NARVA Part No. 74402. Would it handle a 300W light bar? That is the kit is states its a HEAVY DUTY, I can't say for sure but I'm running my 24" LED light bar off it? Too make sure why not ask the seller of that kit on Ebay if it does? One thing to note is this kit only comes ...

poita

Thats the kit i bought. 80 bucks at supercheap. I had a look at the high beam plug but its covered by the hard plasctic covering that covers the whole head light in the engine bay. The kit comes with 2x plugs at the end of the harness one goes onto the back of the headlight bulb on the drivers side...

poita

Narva sell a HEAVY DUTY plug n play wiring harness kit for led driving lights. It simply plugs into the factory headlights andcworks off the hogh beam NO splicing snd easilybremoved b if selling car and comes with full wiring with relay, inline fuse simply attaches to neg n pos of battery. Only thin...

poita

Im running pretty stock just tjm rear bar, canopy and nudge bar with light bar on top with stock xls rims n tyres. Did a run from brisbane to Yamba 1 day of beach driving at shark bay, few days suburb driving around Yamba n Iluka & returned to Bris_vegas..Averaged 8.5 ltr per.

poita

If you have a rear tub fitted then I brought this rubber boot seal from eBay fitted real well and seals 80% of the tub the only place it isn't perfect is up top of the tailgate.If you don't have a tub liner fitted then search the sellers other listings I believe they sell the similar rubber but with...

poita

Having the sliding back window is better for positive pressurising of the canopy, also anither thing to think about with drop down rear window is they invade the space inside the canopy when open. I also went with ALPHA because it comes standard with 75 kg roof rails and slider bars, at no extra cos...

poita

As i mentioned earlier in this I brought the ALPHA canopy from Caddy (brisbane) i had Good service and great fitment from day one. I've had my ALPHA canopy fitted now for over 3 mths and it has been great no leaks or any issues what so ever colour match was great cant tell the difference HIGHLY RECO...

poita

$720 that must be for a Cf40 not a CFX40.

poita

I have noticed one thing my PX1 Auto has been doing, cruising at either 80 or 100klm the gearbox would thump or shudder like it was dropping into top gear. I found this strange since i had been in top gear for sometime. It has done it twice once at 80klm & once on the highway cruising at 100klm? It ...

poita

I'm not sure if this has been talked about(sorry in advance, did a search and nothing came up about this insert) but was surfing gumtree and spotted this new "RAPTOR" Grille insert coming out of Springwood in QLD. This grille insert goes into the factory grille? I have been looking at the "RAPTOR" g...

poita

No mine was fitted professionally. Just a small wiring harness going from canopy through tub liner with a rubber grommet. NO SILICON as described earlier.

poita

I checked with ute canopies & they said almost 3 month wait for the canopy for chilli orange colour :o Seems a bit long to wait, so might now be down to ARB or Flexiglass Well worth the wait, especially when you are saving Hundreds of $$$ compared to other lesser quality canopies.........But that's...
