Tried to tell you, but what would I know' Anyhow good luck with the new car and hope you get a few weeks enjoyment out of it before the next thing goes wrong,,, OH and I wouldn't be taking a lot of notice of the trip computer either, that is IF it's still working. All jokes aside, I hope you have lots of fun with it, it does LOOK good. -------------------- Frank

JUMPY if the ranger is a diesel have a water separator fitted as soon as you can, it can cost up to $10,000 for the repairs on the common rail diesels if you pick up as much as a spoon full of water

Not really esp if seperator is tucked up out of view you'll never ketch epsy of water till it's to late Did do a few mods to ute much deeper tray on ranger than was on navara so opted not to do a new tray instead utilized existing There's a 25 litre s/s fresh water tank fitted under tray with tap situated on towbar Great big trundle tray going from back to front had to make up my own runner system using bearings to take the weight Battery wun side compessor udder side & remaining area over wheel arch storage There's more wing is going to paint shop 2mollo

I welded two steps together mahing them twice as deep, I had water the full length of one side and devided the other side into two and had engine oil in one half and gear/diff oil in other half, so if I ever flodded the engine and diffs ( unlikely ) I would have fresh oil to fill. This was a huge success as the low gravity and extra weight eather side low down made it great off road vehicle, only thing was I had to watch my height as the tanks were 3" lower then standard, but never damaged them, and in those days I used to do some heavy off roading. -------------------- Frank

Had several different makes and models since, now for the first time since I bought that first Land Rover I am without a 4X4 . -------------------- Frank
