Ordered my new gen wildtrack last week, eta on delivery is May 23. Done nearly 200000km in my px1 with no major issues, been a great ute. How about a new section for new gens as a lot of changes from the px3 that warrant a new section for mine???

I chucked a camera on the back of the canopy pointing back with a 7" tft screen mounted to the interior mirror post and wired to come on with the ign as a rear view mirror. 2 camera input allows for a dedicated reversing camera pointing down if you want as well.
cheers

Could they bolt any more crap on to the orange one?? Thing must be over gvm with all that stuff hanging off it

Not that that would worry them given the lift kit/wheel combo etc

Guess bling is best over there...

I had a 68 Diamond T 6 wheel tipper, 354 Perkins, 5sp with 4 sp Joey, vacumn brakes (read no brakes) but built like a brick outhouse. Ahhh the good old days

alpha1

Just one observation, with my canopy I snuck the fuel filler tube up between the canopy and the cab to get a more height and a positive inflow to the tank. Filler mounted that low is a very flat feed to the tank and can be a pain and slow to fill.
cheers

Looks the goods. Who you got building it Rocket?

Big country, BIG pics

all good

I have the factory tank in mine with a larger vent hose installed and fill with hiflow as I also have a 220lt tank in the canopy for work use. I have found putting the nozzle in upside down seems to avoid any "backing up" of fast flow fuel, maybe it just follows the pipe better flow wise but works f...

Install a bigger diameter vent pipe, air needs to be able to escape as fast as it is displaced by incoming fuel, if not the result is blowback as you are describing.

Way ahead of you Linc, I suspect it is the consumption of multiply 3 can units that led my feeble mind to try and rationalise the colours of my strut set and the implications it has on my manhood

Hell another 3 can unit may cure my dilemma, I think I will try that

alpha1

Love my billies, although running dobbies spring set with them. A bit more macho colour would be nice tho, thinking more like a dandyline (cape weed) colour than a daisy. Work bloody well tho so colour does not affect the performance at all. Maybe i will paint them ford blue to satisfy my macho colo...

How special was Scotty's top ten shootout lap, first into the 3's...

alpha1

Welcome Macca,
More pics please, interested in your roll-out tray. Tell us a bit about you and your rig.
cheers

alpha1

And thats no "Bullcock"

alpha1

Hi Macca,
I am running Billies shocks and dobbinson springs @ 50mm lift and very happy with the ride.

alpha1

Don't forget the 2m fibreglass whip aerial.

nice rig. cheers

alpha1

Great explanation of the process. Can we get this as a sticky??, save a lot of searching and waffle regarding gvm/gcm upgrades.

alpha1

Interesting hardlid/rear visor on the Prague ranger. You would think with the worldwide sales and popularity of these that someone would be doing diff ratio sets for these by now?? Be a decent market for them given the size tyres that can be put on a ranger with minimal modifications, could make 37'...

alpha1

Cheers Butch, Full seat backrest would not be a problem and if i could get 1 squab in that would be perfect. Have to have a closer look at a super cab to compare squab mountings to see if it will fit. Prob a few guys who have removed them from super cabs that I could get one second hand if it will w...

How I get ready for summer is to fill both sides of my national luna 74lt fridge with coldies

alpha1

Hi Guys, Just a random thought that my tiny brain came up with. I have been tossing up whether to remove the rear seats and build a platform for more storage room, fridge, work stuff etc but do very occasionally need another seat. Then I thought what if the super cab seat could be fitted to make the...

alpha1

Yes, built them ourselves. Was a bit of a rush before our CSR trip, finished them the night before we left. A few things I would tweak a little with it but happy with the design and lines. Will probably do the same when I update next and incorporate those tweaks. Still need to remove it to tidy up t...

Nah got that component, top pic on the road in the background. Agree moist is good eating, a budding critic picking that up Linc

alpha1

Look out, the photo critic has awoken from his slumber :shock: Be prepared for some criticism if he is in a bad mood although he may be mellow as the sun is over the yard arm ;) ;) Evidence pointing to a recent wash are evident, ladder, bucket, wet grass which will cost you points :oops: and thats b...

alpha1

I like the profile of the underbody lockers, suits the line of the body I think and the guard flares enhance the tough look. well done

alpha1

Needs a chase rack with a 50 cal mounted on it to complete it.

Linc would run thru a rugby team to get to a rig setup like that, One guy, no probs

alpha1

Well block of cans comes in at about 11.5kg so he can carry approx 35 blocks and still be within the vans gvm

alpha1

Good comeback……"Say nothing on the grounds it may incriminate you"

alpha1

More than 3 cans Linc ??

alpha1

Maybe loosen off the well body mounts and see if it will move back to give a little clearance to the cab

alpha1

They did a nice job parking

alpha1

Oops, looks like True BLUE has become a "greeny" with his new title

alpha1

I am only seeing up to the front doors?

alpha1

That is my major concern, generally like to wait for the series 2 upgrade with the major bugs etc ironed out before jumping into a new model. I do like the temptation of the possible new motor lineup tho, in my mind that would make the ranger almost the complete package. Oh well, I will start lookin...

alpha1

Got a 100000k up on my 014 px1 ranger now and was starting to think about upgrading to a px 2. looking at a few online and came across the article with the spy pics of the 019 ranger and the engine specs with the possible new diesel v6 it is supposedly going to come with and now I am thinking maybe ...

alpha1

Ok George,
Enough of the teasing, show us the big rig all set up ready to roll

alpha1

I am running a 7" tft screen from jay car as a dedicated rear view camera on my canopy, 2 x camera feeds, one with audio. Going to hook up the second camera as a reversing camera pointing down at the tow bar when I get around to it :roll: I broke open my rear vision mirror and used the post and ball...
