The border nazis can be rather obnoxious as they DEMANDED I empty the entire car! When I refused, they called in a hiding police officer, who suggested that I comply. I said NO, I have no contraband, drugs, hidden cattle, penguins or vegetables . He then , with the border nazi, checked my fridge, food boxes and a general overview, then asked to look in my clothing and personal bags. I again refused and suggested, that the whole process was way too heavy handed and maybe he needs to get a search warrant and a reality check. I was then waved thru and they were given the one finger salute as I left There is a need for protection of our agricultural and pastoral zones, but not a nasty and abrupt attitude and a ridiculous level of aggro and suspicion from a single person on the border check squad. Previously I had no issues and it was quick and pleasant and was based on your declaration and a check of food stuffs and a visual check only. “ Times they are a changing”, said Bob Dylan. Great to hear your family connection to the great Len Beadell, he was a true pioneer and outback legend for his work.

Nice build, you have put a lot of work into the vehicle. Not sure if you are aware that DMW in QLD has Federal approval last year for second stage manufacture for next Gen Ford Rangers. They offer a GVM increase of 3800 kg & 4250 kg with chassis strengthening along with GCM increase. My sister has just had her new ranger upgraded to 4250 Enjoy your videos. cheers Jeff & Sharyn

I’ve probably been in contact with soldiers who may have known Len, but the eldest I knew where Vietnam era. The old survey school building in Moorebank was called the Milne Bay building, most likely after the ww2 surveyors stationed at Milne Bay 👌

Hey great video for me. you said you bought double cap chassis but in the video there was no alloy tray. Can you order without alloy tray and is that more cheaper?
@Wanderingaus_adv2 ай бұрын
Gday Kim, essentially yes. A cab chassis is cheaper than a tub dual cab Ute.

The ARB GVM upgrade kits absolutely do not increase your GCM. The only second stage manufacturer that offers a GCM with their GVM upgrades is Lovells Engineering. You have a GVM upgrade and an axle load limit upgrade. Not a GCM upgrade.

Great vid, nice rig. Question - Do you know what the difference in weight was between your empty canopy compared to a tub and canopy set up?
@Wanderingaus_adv3 ай бұрын
Thanks Brian Hard question to answer, depends entirely on what you set a tub and canopy up with. We’ve always preferred a tray over a tub, giving us clean and flat access to 3 sides of our tray, or in the case of a canopy like this 2 sides. Makes for accessing, packing and designing much easier. Has it a guess, the ally canopy would be touch heavy empty then an empty tub and fibreglass canopy, but there wouldn’t much in it. Especially if you then need to add support bars to your fibreglass canopy so you can put weight on the roof, like a roof platform.

I think the point where this failed was the start when you brought the ranger. 2nd most popular car but the worst for warranty, ford will leave you dry.

I suppose it’s each to their own. This is our 3rd generation Ford Ranger. 2009, 2016 and now 2023, our experience seems to be different. We’ve not been let down yet. Popularity of car doesn’t come into it. Using that principal, some of the great touring cars of the past you wouldn’t rate? Each to their own. But we think Ford have nailed this one.

We have so much to thank Len for in opening up this wonderful country. Travelling all his tracks was on my bucket list and I'm pleased to say its been ticked off. Did the trip East to West in 2010 on the way to the CSR. The SA side of the track was very bad, but, improved considerably once we crossed the border into WA. Keep the spirit alive and travel safe.
