Hi mate did you get the intake cleaned? Or has the oil self cleaned When I put the catch can in I thoroughly cleaned out the intake using a rag and some turps on the inside of the throttle body, I only cleaned what I could safely reach without loosing something down there, I am not sure if I would ...

ira11y

Oh and thought I would show the difference having a catch can installed, picture one is about 1 year after purchase, plenty of oil on the intake. http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn455/ira11y/Oil%20Catch%20Can%2025_zpsmye5xftr.jpg an below, a year an a half after installing the catch can, clean as...

Nothing much new, just swapped up to 18"s with some FX4 rims and added the tailgate auto lock. Coming up to 2.5years old and 90K Kms this month, no major issues, lots of cosmetic warranty claims for leather and plastic bits, oh and they had to replace the dump pipe on the exhaust due to the flexi jo...

A light bar will achieve better short range vision and side lighting than can be found with most flood spot lights, however a good set of pencil beam spotlights will always out do a light bar for distance, it comes down to what type of driving you are doing and what you want to see. I use pencil bea...

I run the same tank, fill up using the high flow truck nozzle with no issues (nozzle in the correct orientation), I would guess the breather tube is not working properly.

So I was at Ford yesterday and looking at the FX4 v Wildtrak as an upgrade from my XLT. Guy I spoke with used to run one of the Ford dealerships in Northern Sydney but is now a little bit further south, these were some of his comments yesterday. The FX4 was a slap together fix by Ford to try and fil...

I am in QLD and it would seem that even if it is NA,NB or MC we can still increase the track by up to 50mm

I am jealous

Ok. so after some of the previous comments, I felt I needed to do a bit of digging, that digging led all the way back to discussing this with the vehicle safety standards people in govt. My original thought was what exactly is the vehicle category code, that led me to this website page (for my vehic...

+20 will be illegal, +35 is the max you can go on a ranger to conform to the ADR's.

There are two settings, go in to the settings menu on the screen and you can set the brightness offset, if you like it very dim just drop it in to the negative. After that is set you can then toggle it up and down using the dim feature at the main light switch.

Maybe try a Falcon headrest?

Spotted this good looking machine when doing a job at ARB in Prestons, pretty sure its one of the workers cars, possibly the manager. I didn't get time to talk to him to ask, just love the wheels on it, shame they are 20" and so just a little bigger than I want to go with. http://i323.photobucket.co...

Here you go XLR8R The front boxes were off the shelf but the rears I got custom made, the plinths and draws they sit on I made myself. The draws are designed with a step so they slide smoothly around the wheel arches, they sit directly on the tub liner, I just use a little wax on the bottom of the t...

LOL Thanks Rocket, best score Ive had all day.

Well just over a year on and +40K kms later and I have to say I still made the right decision going Ranger over the Hilux, love driving this thing, the long highway trips are so easy and it handles the rough stuff to the towers and trigs easily. Towed boats, caravans and bikes most of the time witho...

They look good, whats the offset on those?

Welcome Obi, we like new members to put a pic of their pride and joy up, otherwise our resident photo critic gets a bit edgy without something to critique

ira11y

looks good, I'm sure he will be very happy.

@ Rocket, nice comeback.

ira11y

But he might get points for having the swag tied down across the back, welcome to the Rangerhood

Welcome to the forum, sports cab looks better than the dual in the BT50 I reckon. Any pics of the inside, dash controls etc.

ira11y

Welcome to the Rangerhood, great photo, is that the Brindabella's?

ira11y

Looks good Foxy

A couple of things could be happening here, firstly all LED lights emit frequency, some have better suppression than others of the noise in the circuit. The radio interference will most likely be from the LED's. The radio in the ranger is very susceptible to noise based on other peoples issues, that...

Welcome aboard, truck looks great in white with the black grill.

Gotta love the ugly duckling Anglia

used to go great with a Capri V6 in them too

You can also set that permanently via the settings instead of each time you take the key out.

Congrats and welcome to the Rangerhood, I heard a rumor that only the best looking and most intelligent Ranger owners choose Aluminum, I could be biased though

Our resident photo expert will be along shortly to judge your image.

Foxy what was a Lumen rating on those globes?

ira11y

Great photo Rocket, so glad I am not back home in the cold

ira11y

I am still getting this but not as often as when I first got her new. What I am thinking lately is that its a combination of how I push the clutch in, or rather how far I push the clutch in and the ECU's response to the clutch position. If I push the clutch in say 1/3 of the way, which is enough to ...

I was following a Silver XLT today and it was clearly leaning left as well, I don't seem to have the same issue with mine but its obviously common enough

Took a nice photo of the P&J today so time for an update, I finally have the custom boxes made and installed, along with the box lights installed and running off the tray work lights. Installed the auto off, start stop module, best thing I have done so far. Put some DRL's in and added a cheap nudge ...

Was back up at Oxford Falls working today, sorry for the hijack but I couldn't resist

I changed out my globes for some Phillips Crystal Vision 4500K yesterday, the first thing you notice is how yellow the factory globes are. The overall change for vision was noticeable in terms of contrasting light, it definitely improved my lateral vision and when switching on the fog lights which I...

ira11y

Are they a direct replacement, as in they fit in the factory holes? They look quite long, like you would need to leave the moisture covers off?

ira11y

Foxy how do you open your shutter on the tray with the cargo cage on top? does the cage just lift up to provide access?

I gave up on the ECB and went with a cheapy nudge bar off eBay, I don't have the tech pack though so makes it easier.

ira11y

Your truck is looking good, the wheels really suit the Blue.

Is that nudge bar tech pack compatible and can I ask where from?

I'm not sure but I would think it may block the module, a lot of guys are just moving the radar modules lately though, it was just a cheapie off eBay, its not the same supplier but it is the same bar, heres the LINK
