George H I have a factory rear locker wand traction control which gets me most places I dare to go but sometimes it's just not enough to do it easily. Would love to add a front locker one day and when I do il be looking to challenge the ranger again. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Michael T. Thanks for your reply! I know you'll get a front locker in due time and know you will enjoy the added benefits! Such a nice truck you have and again, a great video! Have fun on future trails guys! We use to get around in the old days with no lockers and all......and had fun trying to get places; and failing sometimes too...lol
Turkey, thanks ibappreciate the feedback. My earlier videos have music but I have since decided to cut it out and let the 4wding speak for itself. And it was to hard picking music that works. 👍
keep up your momentum bro. Also ford uses a limited slipper front diff stay on the gas . But in the end great video. Tires and locker small lift perfect
Hi Michael. I’d like to ask if you made just 2” susp.lift or did you make also a body lift? I want to make sure that I can put 33” 255/85 R16 tyres on my Ranger after 2”lift with no issue. Is the clearance big enough for 33”s , no rubbing during full flex , full lock etc..? Thank you for answer. Cheers
probably too late now but yes 33' will fit, with 50mm lift, and go for an offset rim. I run 285/75 r16 on steel 16x8 with offset of 35 on my 2015 Ranger without flare kit
With the rangers, when it starts spinning up, keep your foot on the gas, the traction control always figures it out and acts like a front locker, every time you made good progress, you always kept on the gas for a while why you were spinning
Cheers glad you enjoyed. A front locker is something I may do in the future. It's not a cheap mod and for most of my driving it's not necessary. Not often I tackle tracks this difficult. In regards to the tyres I had these at about 19-20. Any lower and I end up with bead issues. In fact 100m up front this section I did pop a bead on one of my tyres 🤦♂️. Since learned it's due to the 9" wide rims. Iv now changed to a 8" wide rim and wider tyres so can run lower pressures and haven't had a issue since.
Martin Kane the rack is a Rhinorack pioneer platform 1228mm x 952mm on a Rhino rack Vortex bar with RLT600 leg set. The platform is equipped with Rhinorack shovel mounts, Rhinorack eyebolt kit and spare wheel strap for the tyre. Also have modified Maxtrack brackets for the recovery boards. All up approx 1k. I also beefed up the support under the rollershutter tracks with angle and box steel due to the 25kg rating of the rollershutter tracks. I hope that helps and thanks for the feedback.
Terrence Van Nieuwkerk yes I did. The Rhinorack bracket is meant to carry Maxtrax below and above the platform. As I wanted the Maxtrax to sit above the platform I had to cut the bottom shorter and butt weld a new section on top to extend it. Hope that's not to confusing.
It's an 80 series, anywhere from 1990 to 1998 although by the look of this one I think it's 1994 or earlier. The US has 80 series landcruisers also but I think they were all petrol (gasoline) whereas here in Australia we had a choice of petrol or diesel.
Danial Gergis hey mate I have 17" wheels -12 offset and 285/70r17. I wasn't very happy with this wheel/tyre combo and have since changed them. I popped the bead to many times and wheels hit the rocks to easily. I now run a 16" 0 offset wheel and 305/70r16 tyre. Better offroad and slightly worse on-road
@@michaeltoomer4090 hey mate, is that a 3 inch lift? Did you get it certified? I'm trying to find someone to do the same for my ranger, I just want it certified before I take it on the road. Thanks in advance.
Krasnaludek tell that to everyone in the comp scene that wins with gq patrols or parts of them out into shitter cars to make em tougher. They will go anywhere more reliably and not break stuff when the going get extreme that runni. Gear is over engineered like crazy
Lynton Bourne these rims/tyres de-bead easily. In fact 50m after this section I de-beaded my rear left tyre. Iv since changed to a narrower rim and wider rubber so can run a lot lower pressures with my new wheel/tyre combo 👍
it has it. these cunts cant drive it. electronic traction control (powered by the brakes) cannot act like a locker. once you beach a wheel like that, no brake system can provide enough traction to that one wheel... but hey, who cares right.. lets blame ford and not the idiot behind the wheel
Everyone else had front lockers too, the ranger didn't and I think it did really well for that, every other car/truck/fourby was getting stuck at different places etc (but not that patrol at the end!)
Love the sound of that Patrol
good drive in the Ranger mate. great to see it out on the tracks.
Ranger Raptor & Jeep Wrangler Rubicon are my top 2 choices.
Good video! Everyone should buy lockers first, then add all the other needed items! That Ford Ranger is a nice looking truck! Good jobs guys!

Passionate offroader from india, subscribed
i got a rear locker. i love the challenge. front and rear locker would be nice but i love the struggle, the ranger was my fav by far
Looks like a great track!
Wear earphones to enjoy this video to the max. Awesome sounds
Munyaradzi K. D Zindoga glad you enjoyed it 😄
Ad a front locker to the Ranger. And you will walk that track easy,
SHALINI NAICKER I would love to put one in one day. I was the only one without a front locker on this trip. Thanks for the comments!
It will make a difference.
Good effort! Rangers are very capable off road and yes agreed a front locker would go a long way.
Shows what is possible without one..
a Torsen wouldn't be bad either. Been thinking of putting that in my F150
Keep going keep going (a few microseconds later) stop stop stop
You got a sub from Me!! Really impressed with all the 4x4's in this video!!
Gracias ‼️‼️‼️‼️✌️buen video , buenos coches,💪😎🍻👍
Awesome vid mate couple psi lower will make the world of difference
mte you need a frontlocker like the other vehicles have in these situations
You do some great videos, good stuff that you want to see without crappy music etc.
Turkey, thanks ibappreciate the feedback. My earlier videos have music but I have since decided to cut it out and let the 4wding speak for itself. And it was to hard picking music that works. 👍

Hi Michael, I subscribed to your channel it’s fantastic👍☘️🇮🇪
Springer spaniel cheers mate glad you like it.👍

That ford is one sexy looking beast but I’d still go hilux.
With the rangers, when it starts spinning up, keep your foot on the gas, the traction control always figures it out and acts like a front locker, every time you made good progress, you always kept on the gas for a while why you were spinning
Unless you’re in low range, then it’s off.
@@coptotermes nah iirc on the Rangers, even in low range it keeps traction control on the front? As compared to basically any other ute
FFS put a front locker in her and you'll be right......and the tyres aren't bagging that much, what pressures you running. Nice vid.

Great Videos. Just wondering where you got the rack on the back of the wildtrak where the tyre is mounted and rough pricing
Martin Kane the rack is a Rhinorack pioneer platform 1228mm x 952mm on a Rhino rack Vortex bar with RLT600 leg set.
The platform is equipped with Rhinorack shovel mounts, Rhinorack eyebolt kit and spare wheel strap for the tyre.
Also have modified Maxtrack brackets for the recovery boards.
All up approx 1k.

Hi Michael. I like that setup on the back. Doing the same for mine. Did you modify the maxtrax bracket from Rhino? Cheers
Terrence Van Nieuwkerk yes I did. The Rhinorack bracket is meant to carry Maxtrax below and above the platform. As I wanted the Maxtrax to sit above the platform I had to cut the bottom shorter and butt weld a new section on top to extend it. Hope that's not to confusing.
😎 video man
LROR Land Rovers Off Road , Cheers Evo 😃
Yeah the patrol’s
I like you video 我喜欢你的视频
Mate, amazing video footage. What camera setup are you using?
Melfred Pretorius I’m using a Zhiyun smoothh Q Gimble and a Hawkey Firefly 8s 90 degree. Thanks for watching
what year is that land cruiser, most landcruiser's in the u.s. are independent suspension, which i think is much less rugged for offroading.
I’m not to sure about the land cruiser. It’s solid axle. That’s all I know
It's an 80 series, anywhere from 1990 to 1998 although by the look of this one I think it's 1994 or earlier. The US has 80 series landcruisers also but I think they were all petrol (gasoline) whereas here in Australia we had a choice of petrol or diesel.
Hey mate what size wheels on ranger and TYRE size please I want the same setup
Danial Gergis hey mate I have 17" wheels -12 offset and 285/70r17.
I wasn't very happy with this wheel/tyre combo and have since changed them.
I popped the bead to many times and wheels hit the rocks to easily.
I now run a 16" 0 offset wheel and 305/70r16 tyre. Better offroad and slightly worse on-road
Michael Toomer so you went from a 32.7” tall 11.2” wide tire to a 32.8” tall 12” wide tire.
It looks good. Any rubbing issues?
@@michaeltoomer4090 hey mate, is that a 3 inch lift? Did you get it certified? I'm trying to find someone to do the same for my ranger, I just want it certified before I take it on the road. Thanks in advance.
Australian Dad it’s just a 2” lift with a few other mods and no it’s not engineered or certified
@@michaeltoomer4090 Thanks Michael, for some reason I thought it was a 3 inch. Looks great!! Got any videos with the new tyres on?
As Usual to many wanna be spotters..... “keep coming, no stop right there” haha
old vs new who would do that mate!
How much that rhino front bar set you back?
Lcr34 it cost about 5k including install for the bar with color coding and winch. The LED bar was added later.
Thanks mate. TJM snorkel is the only one that allows fender without trimming eh?
Lcr34 the TJM is the only snorkel I know about that fits above the EGR flare. Other than that a stainless one?
Did some digging, Iron man as well as MCC snorkel too.
Lcr34 in that style of snorkel yes.
Personally I didn't want to use the existing side grille for the air intake.
Just personal preference I guess.
As usual a 4.2 diesel patrol just idles it easily. Best 4x4's ever made for pure offroad.
Snook Good joke - Jeep Wrangler then Land Rover Defender. Patrol is not even top 5: Hummer H1, MBZ Unimog, etc.
Krasnaludek tell that to everyone in the comp scene that wins with gq patrols or parts of them out into shitter cars to make em tougher. They will go anywhere more reliably and not break stuff when the going get extreme that runni. Gear is over engineered like crazy
Check Indonesia off road " IOX " or " MEX "
white patrol driver is a boss
What engine does the range have?
Jaime T Rubio III 3.2L diesel
Please put locks on this ford 👍✅
ripfletching one day I will 👌🏻
Tyre pressure... Lower it!
Lynton Bourne these rims/tyres de-bead easily. In fact 50m after this section I de-beaded my rear left tyre.
Iv since changed to a narrower rim and wider rubber so can run a lot lower pressures with my new wheel/tyre combo 👍
That GQ patrol could of done that in reverse
Ranger is for hevy duty cargo LOL SUV vs Pick up truck? Not pair
Ranger just doesn't have it AH !
it has it. these cunts cant drive it. electronic traction control (powered by the brakes) cannot act like a locker. once you beach a wheel like that, no brake system can provide enough traction to that one wheel... but hey, who cares right.. lets blame ford and not the idiot behind the wheel

older offroads are better :))
Ford expedition is better 2005
This guy does not know how Fords Advanced trac works.... Keep your foot in it!!!! Not 100%, just a small amount and your golden
