What is that lighting mate?

As usual, it won't be to everyone's taste, but the first part of the "rest of the interior" arrived last night. I've been assured I'll see photos of the painted pieces this week, and it's Thursday, so here's hoping. At least after having the leather in for nearly a week, it doesn't clash with...

I fired it the hell up! Best way to test. Seriously though, I sent the MDS on the product to a very senior, retired, former Fire & Rescue member. He confirmed that I was right, actually laughing at me, that the carriers were about the only thing to worry about. Stove has no pilot light, only...

Shit. I seriously never considered that. I wouldn't be stupid enough to spray it anywhere near an open flame, but figured it would be safe once it flashed off and was polished off the surface. I mean, our vehicles aren't all driving around flammable are they? Certainly didn't explode when using...

Mate, I think I’m immune, I can’t smell it at all. Just told wife I was going to try it on the stove and she didn’t mind either. See how it goes but, gas cooking is great, but I miss cleaning a piece of glass.

Also did the stove top. Time will tell if this was a good or a dumb idea lol, but I’m over cleaning it.

It’s been pissing down for months over here, never seen anything like it. Was thinking the 303 was holding up ok, but TBH, the truck was rarely washed, covered in tar and filth, and needs a refresher. Washed and clayed yesterday. Figured the clay would remove the Graphene, but it still shines...

After months of unprecedented rain and flooding on the East Coast of Aus, I’ve never seen more tar and shit on a vehicle (passenger side it was sprayed up whole truck, up to window height) in my life. Proper wash and clay bar yesterday. What a nightmare, it took hours, my arms are aching...

One on each side of the hood and one on the tailgate. Obviously lifted design from the 150 logo. Was done by sign writer when he did my corporate graphics (same colour). Nod to my wife’s much loved 1983 351 F100 we sold a few years back, as well as the obvious Ranger/F100 link. That, and I...

Alloy hard cover came a week or two ago and I refused to pay $400 for fitting. Then I decided not to have the guys in our workshop fit it, as I was worried about scratches and stuff. So I thought, me and my 5 y/o could knock this out in an hour or two (instructions said an hour). Six hours...

Interior is half done, seats and door trims went in today, with a little help. Need to change the trimming on the wheel and I have some dashboard parts being painted, hopefully they ship next week. Hope it all works together, or it’ll be an expensive mistake.

$55,930 USD is actually disturbingly close (direct comparison at current rates) to our Wildtrak's RRP on road. The Raptor X (current, not new '22 model) is still a bit more expensive here. We get shafted.

This may fix my third brake light issue...

That's heavy Dave. On the hail Vs Ranger front, mine has been belted by decent sized hail 4 times since new (6 months). A couple of them bad enough, that I took photos for the insurance that I was sure we'd be claiming on. The outcome? One tiny dint in the roof, I didn't even notice until the...

"Ay" From the other Aussie.

Don’t want to thread jack, but getting rid of chrome changed my truck. I just went grey as the blackout thing can be a bit much on white. Looks great on OP’s but!!!

As in the trim section holding the buttons, on the wheel itself? Although the way the airbag is removed is different, everything else I've seen (including above mentioned video), leads me to believe that the trim/button area of the wheel is similar, if not the same, as our (Oz) ones. That...

And as for wrapping the dash, you’re not wrong. Apart from fear of breaking things, the bits all come out ok. But there’s just too many curves for a first timer. I spent hours and got a very mediocre result. I love the look of gloss black but, changes the whole interior feel, so I figure if I...

Steering wheel is by a company in Aus called CT Autoparts. But before you get excited, I’m 90% sure it won’t fit USA spec trucks. I looked at a couple from over there and they said “Fits USA models only”. I thought that was weird, until I did the install. Nothing is the same in removing...
