Unfortunately $725 excess is for glass or any other claim. Ouch may be time to shop around as the little extra to get one free a year can be worth its weight in gold especially if you have tech pac or wildtrak as I can only imagine how expensive they would be over the top of just a standard. All th...

Have you got glass coverage on your insurance as you don't have to pay the $700+ excess or with mine I didn't when my rear screen shattered from heat n cold. Only thing was the next renewal they sent out two renewals and one was dearer than the other so I just payed the cheaper one, I'd say the dear...

I carry a 5 tonne bottle jack behind the rear seat along with the Ford scissor jack. It cost around $50 from Supercheap but that was a few years ago, is Italian made and takes up litttle room. I keep it in an old laptop bag along with extendable wheel brace, baseplate, safety triangle and some othe...

You could also do undersprung axle and or drop axle where the axle ends are welded beside the actual axle so when you mount it to spring you can have it above or below the center of main axle which will gain or reduce height without changing springs etc. I put axle on my Jayco Finch under the spring...

Yeah will believe it when it's in the local showroom.
Be an awesome rig to upgrade to for me so long as it doesn't come with a $60,000+ price tag.

Thanks again for all replies. Yes I did have to cut 25mm of the Hayman Reeese WDH tongue to fit the short ford towbar receiver. I have only towed the van once since taking delivery of the Ranger about 200 k return trip. On the home leg M1 Motorway travelling north to mid north coast, very strong we...

My brother was going overseas for 6 months last year and told him to take battery out and sit it on a block of wood not on the concrete and leave bonnet just unclicked.

Ford bearings have bigger centers than Holden on the outside smaller bearing. Holden is bout 1/2 inch and Ford are 9/16 or bigger.

Pure politics mate they don't want to be shown up and don't want to give permission incase s*** hits the fan , this is why the countries are going backwards everywhere as the newer softer generations take control.
Going are the days of just rolling up ya sleves n having a go unfortunately.

Could always make something up with a piano hinge or something at bottom of guards or replace it with black icecream plastic material like the rally cars do n cut to suit. Garden edging is a bit to tuff n will rip ya mounts off where this is softer.

Na mate the ARB poly is still in original tank space and sits about same level as original with its bash plate on only without bash plate as they are thicker n apparently tougher.
Seen a couple now and seem to fit n work well and lighter than the steel replacement's.

On the arb ones the whole front window lifts up n into canopy for cleaning on the ones I've seen fitted lately.

So they can't be left in low range and select reverse is that what you mean ?

Took mine off due to barely ever using it and it getting in the way when going threw scrub.
When it was on i used standard L shape inch wide brackets clamped on prorack racks with prorack twistlock mounts.
Had brackets going upwards to get clearance over doors and headroom at car end.

New engine tight as so needs time to learn your way of driving perhaps.

Hehehe did you also notice most spare tyres have the valve faced up towards floor so when you go to check it you may have to lower it LOL , it'd be that way to protect against rocks n stuff but I flipped mine over so now the seam also doesn't fill up with rocks n dirt ready to rust away so doesn't h...

Px1 owners with Xls just so you know the px2 Xls cab brake light screws straight in apart from having to run an extra wire for the downlights and use different connectors on the lights as I was given one to play with the other day.

My ranger has developed a clicking sound about 4-5 clicks when i start it up or when the temperature is being adjusted in the cabin, i have diagnosed it to have something to do with the heater box adjusting the flap that controls the amount of warm/cold air ratio.

With flat tyres and compressed front end the bike will be shorter oh and then you can loosen the rear so back tyre moves forward. I've only got small bikes for my son's so don't know about 450's or bigger.
