That's fair. Horses for courses, and I have mixed feelings about best of both worlds also meaning the worst of both. I'd prefer BEV but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. Mine sees a lot of use either in or through the city, so I'd like to be a little cleaner about it. Switching to EV mode when p...

Looks like something is brewing for a September 19th reveal, under a #BestOfBothWorlds campaign. Hope they can do a full PHEV rather than some Mild Hybrid BS. Really hope they can offer it on the WIldtrak X. https://twitter.com/FordAustralia/status/1702215606446313915 https://www.carsauce.com/car-ne...

Drive reported a while back that there should be a PHEV Ranger coming in 2024. Anyone heard anything locally?

The Badlands + Sasquatch package looks awesome eh. I wonder if the F150 RHD-conversion guys have placed their reservations... And hmm... looks like hybrid may be coming after all. https://jalopnik.com/new-ford-bronco-hybrid-revealed-by-leaked-sync-software-1844410535 https://www.motortrend.com/news/...

rjbarrington

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CacIlFaXph0 Yep, I want one. 35" tires, front and rear diff locks, and position sensitive shocks. Hybrid would have been nice tho. I guess it'll be a while before they make RHD available. Hopefully they can offer us the real ones and not just the Bronco Sport. https:/...

My old 265/65R18 E RWL sourced locally are Made in USA, with code BE 2A.

My new 285/70R17 C RBL sourced from Summit Racing in the US, are Made in USA with code BE BF.

The "Made in USA" was only on one side of the tyre (e.g. white letter side).

Sure. The dongle is pretty rugged, and I don't have it plugged in all the time. Useful for a quick look or to clear a fault if something is playing up.

I reckon make it voluntary and reasonable. Fair play and peer-pressure usually take care of it, and it doesn't discourage the occasional or new users.

rjbarrington

Sounds like all in hand, but don't be shy about holding the cap out for donations. The forum is valuable, and none of this stuff is free to provide.

It would be interesting to see a tuned 3.2 overlayed on to that. @ecuchips?

Leaving on a high or falling on his sword? http://www.offroadxtreme.com/news/the-f ... arts-ford/

I put an Alpha GSE on. It's OK. I think the Aeroklas looks the best though. No matter what you go with, make sure you get central locking on the canopy door (and do the tailgate as well), lighting, etc.

rjbarrington

Looks good. I didn't realise they were that strong.

These popped up on my YouTube showing off the Ranger capabilities. Hadn't seem them before so thought I'd share...

Looks good. Nice choice of wheel.

Cheers Stewart. I kinda get why they wanted to allow some wheelspin before ETC or BTC kick in, but it's still a PITA around town. Maybe with the TMS models they'll tighten it up in "normal" mode and allow more spin in sport / mud / etc modes.

rjbarrington

This looks like a nice approach, but would need bumper mods and airbag compatibility may be tricky..

@saeb I'm also curious if the slip or delay parameter on the BTC is programmable...

rjbarrington

Hi Stewart

I was thinking of the following:
ASB.BTC
ABS.BTC - BTCS-201D
ABS.DTSC_STATUS
ABS_EBD_MODE - EBD mode
4 x ABS traction control valve
PCM.4x4_SW
PCM.LOCKDIF

Not sure what else is there to indicate what it's doing. Couldn't see anything specific for E-TC unfortunately.

rjbarrington

How long you there for? Send me a Ranger Raptor next week?

rjbarrington

Yep, Bridgestone H/T. I swapped out for BFG KO2, but for comfort maybe try to find a P-rated rather than LT all terrain tyre. Didn't soften too much, but tours nicely with a moderate load. Not sure exactly, but maybe early 2017? It was a while ago anyway... I wouldn't buy one with Sync 2 now. Dunno ...

@saeb Any ideas?

I have tested my 2017 PX2 ranger in LR with locker on and can confirm the BTC remains active. Sorry but I call BS, if BTC was on with the locker is engaged both wheels would have to stop that's what the locker does it locks the diff so both wheels keep turning. I use mine all the time and have neve...

rjbarrington

Is airbag compatible a factor?

rjbarrington

I don't think the PX2 manual is entirely accurate on the locker disabling all ESP functions. See above references.

rjbarrington

PX1 and PX2 are different, with PX2 keeping Brake Traction Control System engaged on the front when the rear locker is switched in. Note that Ranger has both Brake and Engine Traction Control Systems. There’s no specific engineering reason for this, it’s just laziness and a problem because you’d wan...

The globals are a good fit. I find with mine though the part that slips in between the plastic on the side of the drivers seat and the seat cushion pops out every few days. Anyone else's do this or have I not fitted them properly? Do you have a Wildtrak? I found that the drivers side with the elect...

rjbarrington

I've gotten into the detailing products lately, and the CarPro range is working well for me. CQuartz UK or similar is probably ideal but there's a bit of work in the preparation... so at least give it a proper clean and then seal it with Reload to help the de-bugging afterwards. Basically it's a thi...

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll love the new ute.

rjbarrington

I fitted a twin strut kit that damps the drop and assists with the lift. Definitely worth having if it's a multi-use ute... safer for family members too, IMO. Bought on Ebay from these guys - http://stores.ebay.com.au/STRUT-ACTUATO ... ut-Us.html

rjbarrington

To me, the front bumper styling and tailgate graphics look like they did an on-road version of the Harrop project car. it would have been cool if they could have done something more unique with the dampers too... Rumour was that Supashock would supply them, but I guess that fell through. h3.JPG h2.J...
