Mods will be minimal as i have a Expanda arriving in February and The wife said i wasted to much money on modifying the cruiser i had previously. :wink:

I'm sure we can come up with a list of "Wife approved" mods that she'll find acceptable. The trick is then slot in a few mods of your own without overdoing it.

Noticed there are a few BT 50's at the top of the thread so i thought i would throw this in.(Lucky bay south of Kalbarri, also posted on newranger)

They are a great bit of kit, I have done 20k in mine in the past 4 months.

Jealous! Very jealous I am!

Nice colour too.

Mrs Bank of Dad says I can have one when the kids have left home...............so I bought them travel luggage for Christmas. 13 isn't too young to fly the nest!

Looks great! And like evryone else noted, great colour, easily the best available, completely unbiased

How are you finding it so far?

 

[Brettmc]

"How are you finding it so far?"
I am finding the Ranger very nice almost car like to drive one thing i like is the fuel consumption ( my previous vehicle was a V8 petrol land cruiser) . The only thing i find a bit annoying is the lack of vision at the base of the A pillar with the large mirrors blocking a bit of the downward view ,i have put the rear wheel on the curb a few times.Just waiting now for the expanda to arrive and see how it tows.

Do you miss the Cruiser?

 

[Xpandafan]

That's a nice package, Brett & Allison. Try sucking lemons to get those smiles off your faces! :lemo: :lemo:

I read recently a 7 seater ranger is coming, similar to the Pathfinder/Colorado 7 style, but on a chassis. New pathfinder not on a ladder chassis. A bit of topic but Ranger related.

Looks Nice but I still thing I'll go the dual cab in the next 12 months or so

Looks great mate

Do you miss the Cruiser?

I only miss the extra internal space of the Cruiser but that's about it , there Ranger has met or exceeded my expectations in performance and fuel consumption ,one of the annoying things is the kanbus electrical system so I have to be a bit more careful adding any options.
If I had bought a diesel instead of a V8 petrol Cruiser it would not have bought the Ranger.

Cool Brett, and and your right about the electrics too
