Hope you are well !

Don't use the Ranger that much these days since buying the Cruiser but I reckon it's got a few more good years left in it yet !

300,000 k's - still going strong and still pulling Hilux's out of the shitt !

It's a shame, especially as this forum has been dying a slow death over the last few years. IMO - that started a few years ago when two members on here complained about the joking, the fun and the humour - all of which made this site different and way better than the other boring and overly serious...

DangerRanger

G'day All The problem with forums is there are 30,000 plus different types of personalities, attitudes, sense of humours and sadly in this day and age an abundance of people who get offended at almost anything and everything if they don't like what they hear ! Moderators - they're the poor people th...

Greetings All

I may be wrong but the topic above this one viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14195 may have something to do with it

G'day All Received a text today from Terese, the wife of " D-ranged " saying he passed away last November from cancer and asked if I could post this sad news on this great site ! Terese said he absolutely loved his Ranger. D-ranged and I joined this site 12 days apart back in July 2012 and whilst I ...

Good luck to the three Aussie riders

Toby Price, Daniel Sanders and Andrew Houlihan

Sozz mate ...but I'm still smiling.....until next time.... It's all good mate - nothing like a bit of fun and frivolity on a 4wd trip - even tho there are a few boring members on here without a sense of humour that would frown upon such activities ;) Can't wait to use that exact same trick on someo...

Make sure you change the tensioner pulley as well - I'm pretty sure it is the pulley that seizes causing the belt to disintegrate !

Hey danger, just wondering what kind of preventative maintenance you do and at what intervals? Do you just service as per the service guide? Howdy - just the regular 15k logbook servicing ! Whilst I do a fair bit of towing it's not overly heavy but at 150k I had the transmission fluid and filter ch...

Howdy Excouncil I know what you are saying - coz when this mob hit the scene I was very reluctant to buy anything off them - mainly because of the " made in china thing ! " But when you realize that some of the big branded names use the exact same chinese company to make the exact same product in th...

4wdsupercentre have a one day sale on today - some pretty cheap gear for those people getting set up for touring, camping or 4wdriving ! I think the 2.5 mtr x 2.5 mtr awning with strip light and free delivery for $129 is good value - I've had one on both my 4wd's for a number of years now and very h...

There is a lot of evidence showing climate change, bugger all against it. If someone does not grasp that then you are unlikely to change them. G'day sras - not sure if you read this but here's a part of my earlier post on this topic I don't believe anyone with a modicum of intelligence disagrees th...

DangerRanger

Out of curiosity... those that dont believe in climate change. What are you throughts when you see a graph like this? Howdy IamTriggerHappy I don't believe anyone with a modicum of intelligence disagrees that the climate is changing - as it has done for approximately 4.5 billion years - the age of ...

DangerRanger

Can you prove that? I swear it is getting colder as I'm getting older....what do you say to that? Hey trublu - at my age I've found that winters seem to be colder and summers seem to be hotter so I'm not sure what's going on there :? Maybe you should move a bit further north of where you live now -...

Hmmm - saving the planet - here we go! Here's a small sample of how many coal plants there are in the world today. I could go into using the advanced technology of thermally efficient, supercritical steam generators using our own world's best metallurgical coal; but what's the point, it is treated a...

If it wasn't for " Climate Change " we would still be in the " Ice Age "

Welcome to the Rangerhood mate !

Nice looking ute - you will love it, they are a great vehicle !

And you couldn't have bought a better car to drive across the " treeless plain " to the annual 2020 Ranger Meet-up weekend

I believe Gold Members get Bar credits with every standard price purchase to use at the XMas lunch. So you could be on a good thing there. I reckon I could make " Platinum " member quite easily when this techo stuff is involved :x I remember when I got my first computer it took me a day and a half ...

big tip is carry maps as backup,works for me..... Hey trublu - Yeah I've been using paper maps for 30 plus years and still carry them depending where I'm going. It's just that the 200 series I bought - first model 2007 has crap bluetooth and as its rear end is nearly as big as my missus's lol and h...

I have often wondered why TAFE does not run some introductory electronic mapping/navigation courses. You would have to think there is a large grey nomad population that might sign up!

Howdy Gerry The head unit runs android and I just found out that as I had oziexplorer installed direct into the unit and not on an sd card, the unit uses google play and won't really recognize / work properly with the android operating system of oziexplorer - well that's what I've just been told by ...

You gunner run a border track for members as per your excellent simo trip? Im sure itd be a hit!

Howdy Linc I have no doubt that Mick is the man - he led us superbly thru those mountains and goat tracks a couple years ago and even in the dark lol. the vic high country trip in November, I'm tempted but having two 4wd's and a drip attached to me 24/7 filled with Hahn Superdry's is not a cheap hob...
