Things are going well, I've actually seen you driving a few times on the freeway and down cross roads.
Cheers for the links.

Gazz, what was involved with swopping fords standard battery to the SSB75 1030 cca?
was it a simple pull the old one out, chuck the new one in or was it a cut and shut job?

Yeah i cant fault the unit really, navigation works a charm and I've had no issues with it since. And the reversing camera is better than any others ive seen

yeah I've already taken mine off and sprayed them but i was curious to whether yours came standard like it, all good thanks Gazz

ajq30

Gazz did you spray paint your TJM rear bar's checker plate bits yourself or did it come like that?

ajq30

All good Gazz, all will happen in good time

ajq30

Love the rear seat removed and replaced with the bench for the fridge and second battery

ajq30

Yeah I plan to chip it but I want to get it set up properly for going away and camping, like the necessities all done before I spend money on the things not needed

ajq30

I bought a 3 piece hard top when I bought the car so I can't remove the sports bar.

I saw this tho https://mark4wd.files.wordpress.com/201 ... 604493.jpg

efi Windsor has done diff drops and uca and they are mod plated. Just getting more info on cost and reliability and find someone in Adelaide to supply and fit. Then pesto[/quote]

Keep me informed how you go.
And you have you chipped your ranger yet?

ajq30

Ive got photos posted somewhere round here showing fit and overhang etc. I find the fixed plates around the bar legs restrict access into the tray somewhat... ie trying to connect a ratchet strap to the front tiedowns.... Really have to reach over and back in, cant see what you're doing if going in...

Hey ajq30, I was just reading back through this post and noted you were going to get a Rhino front bar, what happened to that? Cheers Without re-reading the whole thread I know I said I was getting an mcc rear jack bar but instead went for the tjm one since it was less than $100 more and they threw...

I like how clean cut it is. Minimal holes (i dont understand why they put holes in them - drags the poo in). What brand is that? What material is it? How much?

Haha I would say lack of money now.

I'm looking forward to the border track expedition so hopefully it's a goer.

ajq30

The excitement is building with the 4WD camping & fishing that came to Adelaide this weekend, I shopped around and got quotes for various bits and pieces. So I've locked in a TJM bullbar with the 9500lb winch with synthetic rope, I was a bit hesitant with the synthetic rope just because I'm a little...

This is a curious one... So the Ford dealer installed it? If possible... Would you mind finding out who supplied and installed it please? ... may be in your interests in the future anyways if you have any issues. Haha funny you say this, I know who installed it because I had to take it back 6 times...

ajq30

Does all the factory stuff still work when you put this screen in? Like the steering wheel buttons, the buttons on the centre dash ect... Yes all the buttons work with the screen, just like it was meant to be there. Even tells you which door is open, or if you disable the reverse cam it shows the r...

I think it's great and the reverse camera is very clear.

Weather shields are neither here nor there, i could easily live without them

Wheels and the grapplers look awesome on mate... What size are the tyres and do you have much road noise with them? Do you recommend the weather shields? Just as a wild guess sorta thing, I'd say they're looking like 285/75R16 tyres on 16 x 8 + 40 steel rims............ ;) That was a wild guess, it...

ajq30

Wheels are on, I'll be doing the lift and bull bar after the 4x4 show in SA which is happening late October, I've been told by TJM that they'll have the best deals on all their gear for the show so I'm eagerly awaiting for that. http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag391/ajq303/34f94a86-1d19-46e2-b42...

Actually been having a look at drifta drawers and they look pretty good as they do a vertical drawer system with a fridge next to it and it is removable, curious to see if anyone has one else has anything like it.

ajq30

This is a rough idea of what I'm after.

ajq30

That's sensational hughesy, I'll definitely be looking into installing something like that as a permanent fixture.
