The Boys are on a mission to cross the Jardine River!! After crossing via the ferry on their way up to Cape York they are determined to make it back across using their own 4wds. The Landcruiser goes first and saying it got bogged is an understatement.... Will the Next-gen Ranger do it any easier?

Back in the day, when Starke was still a cattle station, two ringers wanted to take an old Land Rover to the Tip. Apparently it was at the end of a big wet season and the Jardine was over 600 metres across. They found an old punt, took the motor and winch that connected to the front PTO mount and went across the river with them in the punt. Set up the motor on the other side and winched the Land Rover across, refilled the tanks with fuel, put everything back together and continued on their way.

i crossed it in 1985 fj45 with 10 psi in the tyres . crossed it easyley . but when pumping up the tyres on the other side the menzil pump died . i had to drive to bamaga with 10 psi , it took a while. a menzil pump is one where you replace one spark plug with , the engine compression pumps up the tyre. the worst part was waiting for it to cool down.

Couple of reasons. Some of which I now regret and some I still agree with… haha I was more confident having known the bi-turbo had been in the high end rangers for a few years already so figured the faults would be sorted. I didn’t need the power for towing heavy loads… however I now probably do 😂. And I wanted to buy a base model cost car to build up with wheels, bullbar, tray, suspension etc of my choice.
