It sure is! ☺️ We can’t get enough of Esperance. A summer visit sounds nice! Thanks for the feedback on the vid - we’re looking forward to sharing the next Ep on Saturday

Oh wow! 😳 That must have been scary! Glad hubby is ok and you were able to eventually go on your travels 🙏

Thanks V 🙌

Awesome! Does look a nice spot. Interestingly Wiki has it listed as a day use are only and no camping permitted

Lifestyle pioneers just stayed there about a week ago. You just have to be fully self-contained. When we stay there. There was about 14 caravans actually on the beach camping. We stayed for three nights.

Nice one

Hi. We’re around 6300kg fully loaded with passengers. If running a tray/canopy set up like us and you’re towing, you’ll easily exceed your GVM unless you have it increased. Not sure if you’ve watched our Pedders suspension video, but I explain this in a little more detail. Even if running the standard tub, there can be benefits to getting the GVM increased depending on what you’re towing and the ball weight of the van. We tested the standard suspension towing with our last van and found it too soft for towing.

Ended up being the distance sensor and was replaced under warranty. It shares the same harness as the powertrain module

😉

So lucky to have these beautiful locations ☺️

We were grateful to be able to start our trip with a visit to Lucky Bay as we settle into life on the road ☺️

Haven’t come across a fix for that one yet

No worries mate! Hope you’re keeping well

Get it on the list mate! So worth it - we just love Esperance. We’ve found waving 👋very hit and miss on our travels ☹️ I would say WA has the edge over SA at this stage 😉

🎉😢😢😅😅u😅😅uhuhuk

No worries mate! Yeah we’ve alway wanted to stay there but was always booked. I guess not travelling in school holidays helps tho ☺️

Thanks! Hopefully have part 2 out this weekend

Look not ideal it happened but it’s been great since Ford replaced the distance sensor and we haven’t heard of others having this issue recently

Thanks mate. Feels surreal to be on the lap! Loving the new van. Forbes was great but a full size van with all the creature comforts certainly makes life easier for full time travel

It works correctly with the ARB 140L long range tank

Thank you!

Good to hear! Yeah my Kings is still going too - can’t complain. Cheers Mark

Great advice! We’re still on our trip honeymoon period and I’m sure it won’t all be smooth sailing but we’re enjoying the freedom and spontaneity ☺️

Yeah mate one of the big reasons we went with the Gator X. Tare towball on these is 170kg. Van is 2.7T fully loaded

Thanks mate! Great to get it underway

Nice 👍

Oh thanks so much guys! We’re slowly getting into the groove of life on the road ☺️

Oh that does look cool - just had a look at some photos. We’ll add it to the list next time we’re through that way

Haha I know. Longest tow ever from Mindarie 😉🤣 Yes we love the Ninja 🙌

Thank you! We really appreciate the support 🙌

@@rtarrant1 thank for stopping by Robert! Great to meet you.

Thanks so much

@@dianaperry1929 thank you! ☺️

Hey mate. The big trucks have a place and certainly are better for towing but not as good offroad. Wider on the tracks and a longer wheelbase. You can certainly still take them off the beaten track but personally prefer a smaller vehicle. Interestingly the payload of vehicles such as the Ram 1500 and F150 are smaller than the Ranger so if you want to run a canopy, mods and tow, you may still find yourself needing to go down the route of a GVM upgrade anyway

Got it, thanks for clarify it for me. Makes a lot sense

Good point! I had dimpled / spotted rotors on a few sport road cars in the past and always found them to be a nice upgrade ☺️

Always the option of adding discs to the van too but we’ve found the brakes on the JB are great. I’m not always towing so there’s the additional benefit of better brake performance for our offroad adventures

Best to check in with your local Pedders, however the Part is listed online for just over $3,621.88 plus install. The vast majority of your braking is through the fronts so this is where you’ll see the most benefit from an upgrade

Thanks for the reply. 👍

No worries !

G’day mate. Yes sure does. I found when I was towing stock, the original brakes were fine. The whole set up is pretty heavy now and the existing brakes felt lacklustre - both everyday driving and towing. We managed to get about 150k towing in yesterday and the difference is noticeable. Like anything car related, a lot can differ set up to set up so glad it’s working for you 😀

@@Perth4WDandCamping you have pedders on board so it makes sense. Safe travels

Thanks mate

Managed to get a little towing in yesterday and it was pulling up nicely ☺️

Thanks mate. All shot in 24 frames per second and should have been rendered in the same but will have a double check next time 👍

Appreciate that mate. We’ve made these decisions based on our situation of full-time travel to enhance our towing set up. The key is working out what to prioritise based on your own needs and budget.

Thanks mate. Really happy with the whole setup. Really drives and brakes well. They do a wide range of kits. Suggest on the Ram to give your local dealer to confirm suitability and cost

Will do thanks mate

Look forward to it!

Thank you!

Thanks mate!

Crazy! 😳 Thanks mate. You guys heading to the 4x4 Show?

@Perth4WDandCamping probably Sunday

Awesome. Look forward to catching up
