Ignore this, I had a better look back!😂😅

🤣

Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼

Nice work!

Cheers 👍🏼

No, I can’t say I’ve had that issue.

If you're using 40A DcDC charger chances are it's faulty. Take it back to 4WDSupacentre and tell them about it. They'll give you a new one or a refund. Apparently the fault had been fixed up so the new batch is OK.

Cheers mate 👍🏼

The plug is attached to the ignition. It just turns the dc-dc charger on when the car starts and turns it off when the car is off. If you don’t run it, it won’t turn on the charger.

Hey mate, this is hard to answer because it will depend on what you plan on doing and plan on towing. If there’s nothing wrong with the Colorado it would be a a lot cheaper to upgrade your suspension than buy a new car. But, with a new car you get peace of mind with warranties and new tech. I pity the 2 inch lift and don’t have any issues with the tyres or control arms.

Nope.

That’s awesome!! It’s such a beautiful place, we plan on going back and spending more time down that way.

I think we have seen everything we wanted to. 200ks a day sounds like a lot but it’s only 2 hours driving. We tend to drop the van and explore a lot of the towns so that’s where the extra ks come into it. We have spent a week at a couple of places and some spots we do 2 or 3 days.

Thanks 👍

It doesn’t happen all the time though. I’ll also have the caravan selected and when I turn the car off, it defaults back to “default trailer” and does stupid stuff 😫🤷🏻‍♂️ one of those stupid gremlin things.

Hey mate, I just measured it and it’s 1528MM X 1376MM 👍🏼

Thanks 👍

Nice work mate. Glad it helped you get it sorted 👍🏼 I thought I’d do the video because I googled how to fix it and there was nothing so I was winging it too.

It’s absolutely beautiful! Can’t fault the whole west coast. We did monkey Mia, Exmouth, Karijini NP, Kalbarri NP then across the Gibb River Road. It’s a definite must do 👍🏼

Got to stop longer and smell the roses unless your on a strict time frame 🦐🐟🦈🎣

@@rodjenny I can’t stop too long. I don’t like sitting around, once I’ve seen the town…it’s time to go.

Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼

No problem 👍

Glad it was helpful!

Yeah mate.

I’ve been doing for 25,000 kms and the temperature hasn’t moved.

@@Roaming_bullys I tow in 10th and have a scan gauge and the temperature is fine

@@petern514 I think people hear something from someone, somewhere and take it as gospel.

@@Roaming_bullys Yep, facebook stories

I spoke to the guys at Kings and they advised the 25a was more than sufficient. It’s been working fine so far 👍🏼

The standard jack worked before I put the lift in. I’d have to try it now I’ve done the mods to see if it actually works 😳

Ford need to update it so it can be turned off full time 👍🏼

@@smileydave3907 Not sure where you’ve been looking but the base model XLT comes in V6.

In all honesty, if I was towing 3.2t I would be looking at something with a bit bigger towing capacity. Maybe the Ram? I think 3.2t might be cutting things a little too close 🤷🏻‍♂️ just my opinion 👍🏼

Dreaming

@@markbridge7571 I actually put some photos of a short term solution with pool noodles on our Facebook page. Cost me $2

@@anth1839 100%. I hate how it comes back on again when the car has been turned off. If it stayed off it wouldn’t be so bad.

@@Roaming_bullys yer correct. My hilux has a lane departure button which can be turned off and stays off until you hit it again when needed. Wish the ranger did this. But the V6 is what sold me I love the torque!

No worries 👍🏼 the things that annoy me are very minor in the scheme of things. I’ve never had any issue with anything mechanical or anything major. I suppose those annoying things can happen when there’s so much tech in them.

How much weight do you actually think I’m carrying in/on the tub?

I really feel like the lane control try’s too hard to centre you and over compensates. It could also be me just liking to have a bit of room between the car and the lane too. I can also get the monitor for the safety Dave that goes over the rear view mirror. Can’t see through the back when the vans on anyway. I looked at a few brackets for the UHF and almost all of the required holes in the car. I hated that idea and just sat it in the centre until I found something. I forgot to keep looking and now it just sits there 🤣

Just had my 2023.50 serviced, and was told to expect an update to the manual for towing which advises turning off lane assist when towing due to the danger of causing sway

@@Roaming_bullys the pirate co bracket has no holes added and the advanced ice intergration comes up on the bottom of your Centre console screen over where the air conditioner information would normally be leaving your apple car play in the smaller mode above it 👍

I had it weighed before we left and were under 👍🏼 I seriously contemplated a y62 but had no where to put our dog when we were at home. I like to be able to just hose the tub out. I think you’ll find, there is more weight to play with in the next gen than there is in the Y62.

@@Roaming_bullys Axle weights are an issue with the Y62

@@Roaming_bullys yes for sure--- i took out 3rd row seats that gave me an extra 40kgs, the dogs is on the back seat---very spoilt,, i didnt put drawers in the y62 as really unnecessary as i can fit every thing under false floor 👍

@@Ttnorth11 not if your sensible-- i have no issues

No worries. 5 months in and it’s going well with no issues 👍🏼

That's a smart setup as I was thinking of extending the ignition cable, but this is a no-brainer

@@DavidjayyB cheers mate. Hopefully it all works well 👍🏼

I didn’t actually notice any as there wasn’t many to choose from. It’s only to make sure the dc-dc turns off when there’s no ignition and doesn’t drain the main battery.

Yeah, just the positive to positive.👍🏼

As long as the fridge is running and the box is telling me 13.6…I’m happy 😉

@@Roaming_bullys I need a bit more to achieve my peak happines :)

@@pabichpawel hahaha fair enough 😁 I only need to run the fridge so there isn’t a great deal to worry about with it.

Hey mate, thanks for the comment 👍🏼 Our van is just under 3t loaded. I did the Ironman foam cell pro suspension upgrade with the 2 inch lift. I towed the van a couple of times with the standard suspension and in all honesty it did the job well. I just found the van “porpoised” a little over some of the bumps and that’s why I went the airbags, just to stiffen it a little. I put the ‘22 raptor wheels on it which are 17s, an inch smaller than the factory sport wheels but they have a bigger tyre. With all the mods I’m towing at 19.5L/100 which I think is ok. I also put the ARB 140L tank, I feel it’s a must if you’re towing. Overall, I love the car and can’t fault it towing our van 👍🏼

@@Roaming_bullys that’s fantastic thank you. 👍😎🍺🍺 I will definitely look forward to the upcoming episodes.

Cheers guys👍🏼 it’s definitely a learning experience they won’t get at school 👍🏼

Battery due to the current draw by the charger.

You need to run the wires.

It seems to be working fine. The pressures on the screen have moved in each of the tyres so it seems to be working.

Hopefully don’t have to go back to work and can continue to travel 🤣

Thank you 😊

Hey, it’s 110w.

You’re my favourite subscriber 😉

Kids are loving it! My wife and I have Apple Watches. They work well and integrate with our phones. My only criticism, mine only gets a day before needing a charge. I go to the gym every day (while not on the trip) and tracking my workouts seems to use a lot of battery.

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤣
