Re: vibration noise since new rear springs

A few things to ask your self;
Was the noise there before the suspension change?
If it wasn’t, its not the gearbox.
It’s the new suspension

Re: Snorkel Recommendation

I fitted a $140 one off evilbay on my PX3 and looks the same as a Ford one and hasn’t faded, expensive and steel doesn’t mean its good. My son fitted a steel one and when he cut the odd shape hole off the template the guards are like paper.

Re: MK2 XLS sports bar addition

Well, very disappointed, that white plug spliced from the tail light harness is not for the brake lights. It's in the junction where towbar wiring joins the tail light wiring, but no idea what it's for... It will be parking sensors, the plug to hookup is just forward of the LH rear wheel behind the...

The harder rear shocks in the rear and depends on the rubbers used you may feel tyre and road vibration. Check your tyre pressures if they have been bumped up?

Re: No locker, highway pressure no worries

Hey mate, its great to get out off on the beaten track, the Ranger just goes to show you can be driving down the highway and then head off in to the scrub. I went everywhere (i mean everywhere) just on HT tires for the first 40000km and I have never adjusted tire pressures. I hope the kids enjoyed it.

In the head-unit or car settings you have to tell the car it has a towbar fitted so when you put the car in reverse it doesnt go off. look in the hand book.
