Hey guys,
Im new to this forum, but can't believe it's slipped past my radar for this long.
I've had my Ranger for 3 years now, and have made a lot of changes over the years.
I've also had a number of issues since I've had it too, like the EGR cracking, alternator going, starter motor gone, and the biggest one; the oil pump and turbo going on my way to the CSR.
I think the car had a fairly tough life before me, but I think im nearly at the end of the issues, as I've given it some much needed attention.
Don't get me wrong, I go hard, and it's definitely got more dents and scratches in it than before, but I service it properly and pay attention to the things that need it.

The detailed workshop manual I downloaded a couple years ago has helped heaps. Its an awesome manual, that goes down to the level of detail I need, not being a mechanic and all.
Using this manual I was able to pull my oil pump out in the middle of the bush to diagnose the issue. Didn't help the issue, but atleast I knew I couldn't go on.

Anyway, im not one that takes lots of cool pictures of my ute, but will try and get some soon on a trip im doing to Cleaverville, Millstream National Park and Karijini with the family.

Some of the things I'd like to mod on it next are:
I need some side steps/sliders. Probably a bit late, but you know....
Under body bash plates
Rear bar with spare wheel and dual jerry holder
Rear locker, im thinking one out of an XLT
Front locker, E Locker
Figure out how to get a bit more power out of this thing
Would consider doing a 3" lift or maybe add a 1" body lift, then go for some 35" tyres. Will see what kind of trips I start doing, but right now, im getting about 1000km on a full tank.
Would like to remove the tub and go for a tray back canopy arrangement. But my current camping setup is quite nice with the tub, so im hesitant.
Hmmm, what else?......

Nice list you have there. Try throwing a few cans of this through and see if it gets the economy up http://www.liqui-moly.com.au/diesel-inj ... nock-2789/

Enjoy your ride.
