Hi all, I understand the differences between pure sine wave and modified sine wave models. What im not sure about is the realistic difference between something like the Kings 1500w inverter...

Yeah fair enough, its a 2017 Ranger XLT. Any ideas specific?

Hi all, I have been trying to find out about a GVM upgrade for our Ute, for towing a caravan. I seem to be finding a range of information about legalities etc. Many places seem to offer GVM suspension upgrades, but then there is Lovells. Are Lovells a manufacturer of a particular upgrade (i.e...

Hi all, A while back (November 2017) i fitted my own dual battery set up. It wasn't too tricky, having followed a bunch of advice on here. I'm 100% certain that its wired well, appropriate diameters for the cable runs etc. I bought the Thunder DC-DC charger (cheapish) off ebay, and a 115Ah AGM...

Hey all, I have a Ranger with an ARB ascent canopy. I'm trying to work out how I'd mount a Rhino Rack Pioneer Tray on it. I was expecting to find either an ARB leg kit (which I thought id seen around before, but can't find what its technically called now, 'leg' 'mount' 'support?) or poss a Rhino...

Talking tyres, are you also talking rims/sizes or just meaning chunkier tread? Im not even sure what profiles etc would fit a Ranger. Do you have to be careful on diameter as it would change the speedo?

Yeah i read that people get all the weighty stuff first then compensate accordingly with the lift.

I'd be pretty interested in seeing how this sits. How did you mount this? Interestingly i've had a load of quotes and from what i understand the ARB one is one of the best out there. I thought it would be WAY more expensive, but it just turns out that most canopies are pretty up there at...

Hi all, Just to set up this question, and i fear the answer is "depends on what you want to do", "how much do you want to spend?" or "how long is a ball of string?", we have a Ranger and planning on doing some extended touring, off-roading, camping, towing and just generally "Big Lapping". Is...

Great, easy. Shoulda worked that one out! Thanks

Hey all, I'm a newbie here, but are we saying that this ute is loaded to heavily towards the back, and that the box on the front will end up like a big wing, lifting the front wheels off the ground, with speed/wind? Do we think the canopy is longer than standard, even without the tyre/ladder...

Hi all, Was just thinking about getting a canopy for my Ute, and will also be likely towing in the future. Just wondering if anyone out there has had any success in setting up an 'always displaying' rear view camera, to act like the rear view mirror. I'm pretty sure that i'll almost never be...

Cyberess, I have read your post re battery set up and have been inspired to do something similar. I dont have a winch, inverter or power bus, as you do, but the general set up is the same. I opted out of the 3 way switch, but the cabling i used was frankly massive and could potentially use if i...

Hi all, Im more or less a total newbie to all things 4x4, ive been researching as much as possible and have found tonnes of great stuff on here. When i search 'Dual battery' setups, there are millions of hits and i dont know where to begin. Ive been reading that newer vehicles often use a...

Cyberess, Im really enjoying your blog about your Ranger set up. We recently got a new Ranger and looing to kit up a bit too, we're total novices to most things 4x4 but you got to start somewhere i guess. Our first plan is dual battery set up + fridge. Your wiring diagram looks the business, but...
