Cant wait to see the pics
Hi All,
Well i have just returned from Cape York & the Rangie did it with ease.
We went up from Gosford via Lightning Ridge across culgoa Nat park to Eulo QLD, Thargominda, Windorah, Longreach, Julia Creek, Normanton, Karumba, then up to the Cape via the Weipa & then the O.T.L.
The Rangie was the only vehicle in my group that didn't need a snatch & made Gunshot no probs !!
It was also the only rig that didn't break something !! Although i do have a auto trans issue now home ( will fix no probs ).
I was getting between 18 & 21 litres per 100k depending on how i drove.
All in all it was an awesome trip & i loved sticking it to the toyota & nissan drivers up there !
I drove back by myself over 5 days which was eye opening but fun.
I will post pics soon.
Cheers Sean

SubscriberGood effort! Fuel consumption is pretty frightening though (coming from a Diesel owner)
Yeah my other car is a diesel but i had planned for these type of figures so it was cool.
The rangie was similar if not a little better than the petrol 80 series that was with me & the diesel 80 series did 14 litres per 100 kms.
Will post some pics soon.
Cheers

looks like you had a great time. what mods have you done to your rangie.
cant wait to have a go myself
Hi,
The Rangie has a 2 inch body lift & susp lift, maxi drive rear locker, snorkel, long range tank, dual battery system, rear draws, roof rack, uhf, bull bar, spotties ect .
For the trip i put in new OME shocks, the long range tank, snorkel & roof rack.
I had a fuel range of about 750kms whicj just cut it.
I took heaps of spares but luckily didn't need any, good to be prepared though !
Cheers Sean
