  1. Darwin Award Thread

    A friend of mine is what we call a walking accident-waiting-to-happen (actually he's lucky to be walking tbh.) He works as a logging contractor and one of his more recent fails was where he was removing a risky tree near a fenceline as a weekend job for a friend. Instead of cutting it down bit...
  2. Bad Shake 45-65mph - Vid

    Could also be a dodgy U-joint or the driveshaft has dropped a balance weight - or the carrier bearing as you say. Give the driveshaft a good shake with your hand and check for any play around the U-joints or carrier bearing.
  3. 2020 Ranger Ghost touch/A. Auto issues

    It sounds like your touch digitiser is on the way out. as a last resort you could pull the head unit and check the ribbon cable, clean the contacts at the end with contact cleaner. New touch digitisers are pretty cheap as a replacement part, just search Ranger 2020 Sync 3 Touch Screen...
  4. Ensh*tification

    You're exactly right, 25 year design life doesn't mean it'll just stop working at 25 years. I was more specifically talking about utility scale projects. They are treated as a consumable technology cycle, and due to the thin margins they operate at, at year 25 or 30 it's cheaper for the...
  5. Ensh*tification

    I didn't watch the whole video, but I have a bit to do with the renewables industry here in Australia (not by choice lol) It's not just appliances and cars; it absolutely boggles the mind that multi-billion dollar assets and projects are being built with a maximum design life of 25, maybe 30...
  6. Rhinos F150 build. its slow but its here!

    Hey congrats on the kiddo, man. Our little boy is almost 1 (shares his birthday with the great USA!) It will probably be the best time of your life. Hope mum and baby are doing well!
  7. Transmission issue suggestion

    Sounds like exactly what happened with mine. The dropping out of gear and slamming back in at freeway speeds is alarming to say the least! My dealer dropped the pan and said there was so much clutch wear material in the oil that they didn't bother with any further diagnostic and sent it for...
  8. 2020 px3 Ranger fx4 Left high beam turning of when lightbar piggybacked onto it.

    I had this setup with my PX3, and it worked perfectly. Have you reached out to Stedi? possibly a faulty adaptor?
  9. China copy cat

    Have you really got BYD trucks coming to the US? They would have to be worth a fortune with the chicken tax and tariffs on top of that.
  10. China copy cat

    We've just had the Foton Tunland V7 and V9 land in Australia. They look totally unique, ay?
  11. Front Suspension install tip to protect the CV Axle

    You can take the strut out by undoing the two lower control arm bolts and dropping the lower control arm, then the strut just drops out underneath. It's far quicker and easier and you don't over extend your CV.
  12. Lookey what I find?

    Good lord :facepalm:
  13. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Ranger is now just over 95,000kms trouble free... it keeps doing everything it's asked to without a complaint :) The little 2L biturbo engine continues to impress with how well it tows.. this bobcat & trailer weighed in around 3200kg/7000lb and it pulled it along very well.
  14. Hennessey Ranger Raptor

    Curious to know how they have tuned the new Raptor; from my research, these vehicles now run Ford's latest SID212 ECU modules which are completely encrypted, meaning OBD remapping is impossible. Perhaps Hennessey has made their own piggyback unit? I know Burger Motorsports have built their JB4...
  15. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    You might be interested in the latest Fender Dream Factory creation... 50,000 year old NZ Kauri wood body and Mastadon tusk for the fretboard inlays ?
  16. 2024 Ranger

    A few things I noticed besides the lack of a steel bumper... the wheel arches are body coloured as opposed to the usual black; this trim appears to be fitted with the matrix LED headlights which are an option on the Wildtrack/Raptor; it's missing the rear bed step like we get here, as well as...
  17. Automatic headlights don’t always work

    Auto high beams, or the dusk-sensing headlights? I find the auto high beams to be iffy at best, but the dusk sensing headlights work just great. Check to make sure you haven't got anything covering the sensor which (please correct me if I'm wrong) is in the center of the dash, at the bottom of...
  18. Goodbye Ranger

    Nice one Nick ?? How long did you have to wait? My mate just ordered one, estimated delivery date of mid-2024...
  19. Horatio has come a long way in three (almost 4) years.

    Nice truck! Love the wheel/tyre combo. The camper trailer is a beauty too!
