Good stuff mate, just thought I would throw you a quick update regarding the hate towards the 2.0L from previous posts. Just did 22000K trip around Aus towing 2.8T van. Zero mechanical issues and no issues in regard to day to day power. Sure the V6 would probably do it a little easier but if you have the 2.0L it won’t hold you back.
Doesn’t matter what other people think, how they set up, all about how you camp/travel, well done, I had a tub on my work Ute for years, so over hitting my head when the side windows were open, hate them now, good to c you back buddy ❤
Got the wrong canopy 😂. Mine open up all the way on my caddy storage canopy and has LARGE SIDE windows so you can put ya whlle body in to pull a milk crate pit through it haha.
It's good seeing all of the channels I subscribe to come to the conclusion that less is actually more. Looks good mate, I can't imagine you'd be sitting around camp wishing you had anything else with you
Funny ya say that mate me and Matty came to the same conclusion what else do you actually need to enjoy yourself going camping. Thanks for watching mate
Legend, you’ve pretty much set that up exactly how I want to do my new car so room for my doggo too except I want the bcf kitchen slide in place of the standard fridge slide. I had one in the hilux before I wrote it off and I never put into my 100 series and sold it and regretted it.
Simple, unique and very practical well done what a absolute beauty of a set up mate. 👍👍👍 Leaves you to spend most of your money enjoying your holiday rock on, keep up the great content on your ford ranger cheers.
Mate you don’t know how good it is to see these comments it makes my day! I’m glad ya liked it I still got heaps to do to so there is plenty of content coming!
Great setup. I have the next gen raptor with roller shutter but seen you car at the show as i like the maxliner canopy and the misso dose to but maxliner said they are 92kgs when i emailed them and with the lower gvm i couldnt do it as bar work, winch and roof rack and awning and family in the car i am very close to gvm, so my set has fridge with no slide, pirate co tub bracket , i use cargo cases for camping gear , and i have a battery behind the seat . I used tred 60l as a another battety system with 200 btec and 2000 watt inverter in there for the the 240 volt side when caming is done it all is removed with in 5 min mins as like you saying to be able to use the tub and take the unnecessary weight out when not needed for fuel 😂 and to get the sportness of the raptor back with no less weight
Hey mate glad ya liked it, I check the website and mine shows 60kg as the physical weight I mean we put it on with 3 people pretty easily, I checked the fitmy4x4 website and they are stating 60kg as well I couldn’t see the raptor being any different. Thanks for watching mate.
G'day, I like your setup, looking at getting a ranger and was thinking about a service body, but now I'm worried about weight and trying to simplify my accessories to keep the weight down. Also keeping in mind the daily use when not camping/touring. So enjoyed your perspective.
Yeah buddy! Some people over complicate camping pending how they camp. My setup in px2 ranger weighs 2.48T with myself in it, single draw, full fridge, full diesel tank, full 40L water tank 12V water pump, dcdc with agm battery and 180w solaf panel, caddy storage Canopy. Plenty of gvm even with another adult, 2 kids plus towball weight when towing the camper. Learnt from my ol 3.2T patrol 😂😂. Let us know how much your ranger weighs!
Enjoy the setup man, and was great to see you last weekend at the show too! What are you thinking you may do if you opt for a long trip off grid in terms of water? Can certainly appreciate the ease of use for the water jerry for short trips!
Hey mate was great to see you to! I would probably just bring a extra Jerry along for a extended trip depending where I am going you can always refill this at a servo etc, if I was doing the Simpson I would have to re think it though.
If you haven't got a spot for the ever essential Lifetime Blowmold Trestle Table is it really budget set up? She looks pretty sweet mate!! After 3 4wd wagons (and a Sierra😂) I've now got a ute and after a year trying to fine a cheap alloy tray and canopy i ran out of time 2 weeks out from a trip and settled for a $200 ARB fibreglass canopy and bloody hell i wish i did sooner because its bloody huge in there. I also think portable lithium set ups are the future.
@@4x4CampingandAdventures You are one of the very few that thinks sensibly about being practical. A lot of people pimp there rides to the max as to impress everyone what they have, rather than what is needed. Cheers Rob
Thanks Rob it needs to be practical and good for camping otherwise it’s no longer a Ute and more a camping rig a balance of both is always the better way of doing things
I’m hoping the dust kit I got for the back does a good job for the $100 I paid for it we have definitely covered all the other holes when we installed the canopy! Here is hoping though
They are designed to be open, so lots of holes to allow water to drain. You can seal them and install a good tailgate gap solution (like the tailgate defender - only for F150 unfortunately, but there are other solutions for other trucks).
The canopy must have a vent on the top middle front open when travelling, canopy is pressurised by the wind no dust Check out the arb accent canopy vent on top , easy
That’s not how to set up ute let Marine ply across top of tub. Fridge n slide like yours. Cut hole for fridge n marine ply cover where fridge is. Marine ply to separate fridge under ply and support. I have x3 40lt tubs for short trips and full length draw on Teflon slides and every ute must have full width stainless plate across top of tailgate. 100ah allspark lithium sits on top of wheel well n usual 12v goodies It’s been in 2 utes since 2007. And been everywhere Does not have huge area above for crap to fly around in and couple oats draws above fridge for x5 peoples plates knives cups s&p blahh blahh…about 300$ back in the day plus fridge battery etc..agm batteries never again.😂

Haha side windows are bloody annoying I’ll give ya that especially when you’re tall!

Can only just get a milk crate through mine 😂
Mate if you keep hitting your head time after time you think you would learn

Too bloody right!
Really good, customise to suit yourself not what "everyone is doing" this guys got it sorted
Thanks mate

That sounds like an awesome setup! I am still keen on the kitchen slide I might put one under the other drawer yet!
awesome setup Brayden, love the slide out pantry, you will have plenty of camping trips with that setup
Definitely mate got one lined up this weekend can’t wait!

Nice neat set up mate. Look forward to seeing in person at a camp soon 👍
Definitely mate!
Really good set-up, I think I might do the same thing, thanks, mate 👍
Thanks mate appreciate it!

I’m going to get it weighed when the tyres and rims and suspension put on mate keen to see where it comes up at
Nice setup mate, awesome content keep it up.
thanks mate

@@4x4CampingandAdventures I suppose that’s all part of the fun too hey!
Have you come across any company’s making under body water tanks for the Ute?
Yeah I have seen a couple for the new rangers mate they were about 30ltrs of holding capacity so not much more than my portable setup
Awesome simple set up with out spending a fortune well done and now enjoy mate
Definitely mate shes had few trips already im keen to do a big trip to see how it all works. Thanks for watching legend

Haha got one it sits in between the draw and the rear of the tub you gotta have the white table for cooking 🤣🤣🤣
Nice setup mate! some great ideas and love that water tank idea if you have a link for it!?
cheers 😎
Hey mate thanks heaps! It’s a ontap water system just google Ontap and you will find em mate
@@4x4CampingandAdventures nice one cheers 👍
Less is always better...well done!
Thank you mate!

@@4x4CampingandAdventures So true!
Very nice! 👌
Thanks mate
Good video. Thanks
How easy is this to take out completely?
I wanna daily my ute and need the space in the back for daily activities
Easy enough as its all just bolted in so I could remove it all in under 30 minutes
The trouble with tubs is that it is just about impossible to keep all the dust out.
I’m hoping the dust kit I got for the back does a good job for the $100 I paid for it we have definitely covered all the other holes when we installed the canopy! Here is hoping though
They are designed to be open, so lots of holes to allow water to drain. You can seal them and install a good tailgate gap solution (like the tailgate defender - only for F150 unfortunately, but there are other solutions for other trucks).
The canopy must have a vent on the top middle front open when travelling, canopy is pressurised by the wind no dust
Check out the arb accent canopy vent on top , easy
Could do what the guys do with their 80s, sheet of ally on the rear door so you dont melt the plastic 🤔
Bit of stainless on the back tub door ya recon
Good setup.
Thanks mate
Bit more simple than the y62 set up 😂
In a way it’s very similar with the pantry one less draw and a much more simple water setup 🤣 heaps lighter to
@@4x4CampingandAdventures lighter on the pocket too it looks
@alexsallery7567 haha that’s a given!
*Promosm* ✨
Only thing missing is a toilet
The car makes up for that 🤣
That’s not how to set up ute let Marine ply across top of tub. Fridge n slide like yours. Cut hole for fridge n marine ply cover where fridge is. Marine ply to separate fridge under ply and support. I have x3 40lt tubs for short trips and full length draw on Teflon slides and every ute must have full width stainless plate across top of tailgate. 100ah allspark lithium sits on top of wheel well n usual 12v goodies
It’s been in 2 utes since 2007. And been everywhere
Does not have huge area above for crap to fly around in and couple oats draws above fridge for x5 peoples plates knives cups s&p blahh blahh…about 300$ back in the day plus fridge battery etc..agm batteries never again.😂
