4WD Action DVD looking for a Rangie to be in shoot, mid March (Sth QLD)

[Boxer]

Hey all,

I've escaped the Disco section and snuck over here for a bit. What we're looking for is an 80s V8 Rangie, to take part in a shoot we're doing mid March (16-20) in Sth QLD. Expenses would be covered (within reason obviously). Both the car and owner would need to be in camera a bit, so we'd need someone who doesn't mind having a camera in their face a bit.

Car wise, I'll cut to the chase, it'll be a light hearted competition between three similar vintage vehicles (Roothy's included), so what ever Rangie it is, it'd need to be a decent bit of gear. Both of the other competitors are running twin lockers and a few goodies.

If you're keen or you know someone who you think would fit the bill, please get them to drop me an email with info about them and the car. If possible a quick video of the person saying g'day to the camera too.

Obviously as an LR owner myself I'll be backing the RR :)

Thanks again

Now that will be interesting to see the outcome of. Who has a well kitted rangie?

[long stroke]

A few guys in the gold coast club might fit the card;)
What size tyres do they need??

Does it have to be a V8. Our 85 RRC was in the December issue and it has a few goodies. I.m keen if a diesel is ok. (go the Isuzu)

Justin

[dungarover]

Would submit mine but it's rough and ready and not the most eye appealing to be quite honest. Also I don't have a front diff lock (yet).

Should be a good comparo, go the mighty Range Rover :cool:

I'll bring mine across too and whack some QLD plates on it, GO THE ISUZU:D:D

I need to get mine all finished first:angel: Does any one do a version of the US overhall in AUS;) Happy hunting anyway:D

[PaulP38a]

hmm, bugger. I guess my '99 P38A doesn't qualify then... and I've only recently swapped the QLD plates for NSW ones.

I'd love to put my "P38A tractor" up against Roothy's truck, although I'd better get a snorkel first :)

Even though mine does only have a rear air locker, the traction control does a pretty good job in most situations. The 2" lift (plus adjustable height air suspension) and 33" muddies gives it an overall height advantage of approx 4" over standard P38A's. Add the disconnecting front anti-sway bars, extended shocks and Arnott Gen3 air springs and it's not a bad set-up. Custom front and rear bars improve approach and departure angles and make it far more "agricultural" than most "Toorak Tractors" getting around.

Guess I'll just have to wait until they want to give late 90's Landcruisers and Patrols a flogging.

Cheers, Paul.

[Blknight.aus]

hell if hed lend it to me Id take guys rangie up against anything roothie can cook up on a toymota/pootrol chassis.

hell so long as it wasnt a timed event Id probabley even give fozzy a shot.

[Boxer]

Sounds good guys, remember to shoot me an email and pics/vid if you're keen to be in it.

[Outlaw]

I vote Camo's Rangy!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Jock The Rock]

How bout this one?

Message - AULRO Classifieds (http://www.aulro.com/apc/showproduct.php/product/468/cat/4)

Just dont mention what type of V8 it is ;)

[Scouse]

This isn't going to be a very fair challenge IMO.

You'd be better off with a bog stock RR with a decent set of tyres - that way all 3 cars will be even ;).

[Grover-98]

Why aren't they doing a proper test and using stock vehicles with the same tread? or even a price budget on each vehicle to test bang for buck? ;)

Would be too much work putting Roothy's car back to stock :P

[long stroke]

I vote Camo or Dranged( go the isuzu:D)

[Cap]

I would of thought, and correct me if im wrong here, but a complete, stock standard RRC with original runnig gear (10 spline), running say 31's, would be too good against a jap 4wd... :angel:

And I should WARN potential candidates that Boxer is one UGLY mofo... so only look at him within short spans of time, else you may turn to stone. hehe

[86mud]

I'm in...

email sent....

Refer 4WD Action Custom Action Mag issue number 6 and dvd number 127. Have done a few more mods since then...

Cheers

I don't know man, It is mid week at Rover Park but I don't think they will want other versions out there.

[Chucaro]

A camera on the top of your dash will be out of question? :angel:

[Maggot4x4]

I'll see what I can do :D

[Newbs-IIA]

LUCKY OMG, I wish I got to meet Roothy and Milo.... definatly jealous

I might have to start buying 4WD Monthly again (yes I still prefere the old name)

Make sure you let us know which issue your DVD will be in when you know

[Newbs-IIA]

So if I just happen "turn up" at Rover Park during the week... :cool:

It's only a few hours from Brisbane and University can be very flexable... :p

Bring on the Roothy fan club hahahaha :D

[Grover-98]

[Rangier Rover]

I've never seen a Rangie that changes lights and tyres so often:p


An amazing truck as has stood the test of time and is well shaken down.

Hope she does well:cool:

Tony

[Slunnie]

Well done Ash! Looking forward to seeing it when it comes out!!!!

You'll have to give us all the run down / low down on it all after the shoot. Hell, Roothy may even do a crazy one pot for lunch! :D


Ive got to say that Ive really been enjoying the mags more since they've been getting into Rovers over the last year or 2 and it not being all Cruiser, Hilux and Patrols.

[Grover-98]

i think the 5th picture is my fav set up.

[Maggot4x4]

Rather than X2:p I aggree with you:D
They now seem to see the real world now:cool:. I have had a contact for when mine are up to scratch. May be a wile for my Rangie, but the 120 is sorted other than tyres:mad:

Ahhh, yours must of been the 120 they were looking at. It was a choice between yours and mine if I understand correctly.

[Bush65]

Good on you Ash.:):twobeers:

[Rangier Rover]

There must be another tough 120 0ut out there.
I haven't submitted any pics or video of mine yet.


Mine is only a Turboed 5 speed 4BD1 with maxi sals rear end and Arb locked Hi-tough 24 spline front with a few other mods.

Had a thread on it but let it die:(

Your Rangie would be more agile and stronger anyway:)

I'm sure it would hold its own against that cummins powered 47 they have.:twisted:

[def-90]

good work ash, have you still got tread on those procomps??:o

would've loved to pit the old 90 (1987) against similar vintage japs....

what years (manufacture) where they looking at???

[Maggot4x4]

It was up against Milo (The green 13BT powered 47) and a 2 year old KJ Jeep 4 Door.

I had a blast, it was great fun.

I can't tell you the result or what happened but not all the trucks came home in one piece. Rangie is fine :P

I was given a brand new set of Cooper STT's for the event. I was surprised how well they went, I had never rated them as a tyre before.

[Grover-98]

when should i go down to buy this issue?

:)

[mike 90 RR]

Congrats to you :)

Look forward to the published results

[long stroke]

Nice!!!
Can't wait until it comes out:cool:

[Maggot4x4]

when should i go down to buy this issue?

:)
Should be about 2-3 months. The photo shoot will also be out about then. I will let you know.

[def-90]

good work ash can't wait to see the vid/shoot!!

[Rangier Rover]

I hope the Zuzu Rangie stuck it into the other rivals:D

Looking forward to the mag and DVD:cool:

Tony

[Bush65]

Well done Ash :D:twobeers::twobeers:

[justinc]

Good one Maggot!!!:p:p:p


JC:D:D:D:D

[Piddler]

Well Done Ash can't wait to see it.
Cheers

[Chucaro]

Great mate, well done :twobeers:

[Slunnie]

Good stuff Ash, looking forward to when it all comes out! Sounds like the Rangie performed well, shame about the carnage but equally as amusing. :D Were these a couple of articles being done at the same time or was it a comparo etc between the 3 trucks? Seems like a weird combo.

[mills rover]

well done mate im sick of roothy putting land rovers down great one matey

[Maggot4x4]

well done mate im sick of roothy putting land rovers down great one matey
He is actually a closet rover / jag man. He has 3 or 4 Jags at home and "Milo" was almost a 2 door rangie.

[mills rover]

that would be right? ........... hope one day ill get to meet him .
i just wish he wouldnt put us down on his videos all the time
when you think about it really he has to have a soft spot for landies as he learned to drive on them just like i did ..
any way matey well done again and your landie looks like a real tough unit
take care matey cya

[Grover-98]

Hey guys i have been keeping an eye out...when will this dvd come out? what issue?

And i believe Roothy puts us Landy owners down as he needs to convince himself he made the correct decision.

Cheers! James

[mike 90 RR]

Should be about 2-3 months

..... STILL WAITING .... :angel:

[Rangier Rover]

Just had the homing pigeons drop in my 4WD custom action mag in yesterday:D Has the 4BD1 rangie with Coopers tyres and a bit of a write up.

Come up well in the pics.
