Thread: 89 Rangie Project & pics

Well....

350RRC thank you very much for the locating bolts... however I am going to send them back in hope they can help someone else.

Today I was presented with an offer to pick up a 91 rangie, fully setup to where I want mine with maxi axles, diff's from the a disco, duel batt's, duel fuel, lifted, with winch, cb & heaps of other bits I want... PLUS she's got a 4.6lt in her!!! ... for 8k... might get it for 7 tho lol.

Either way it became clear that for what I want my rangie to be - it will cost me waaaaaay too much.

I am putting a deposit down on this 91 rangie only thing I am going to pull from mine is the ARB rear step with wheel carrier & light.

The rest must go!!

In a way I felt bad for making the choice as the path I have taken with this project has really shown how great all you guys are & perhaps will provide info for others looking to do such a project.

I am guessing that putting her in the wrecking section with all the bits might be best as its not together the chassis straight & the roof liner is perfect! the motor even tho it is a 3.5 was rebuilt

So I'll list it all & take pics & post her up in the next day or two the TJM bully wont be needed either of course since everyone helpped me here get all this gear including a roof console all the prices will be cheap - ie I wont make anything from them only what I paid.

so cheers & thanks! this way I can be ready to go on my first 4WD weekender trip in about 4 weeks! w000000000hooooooo!!!

BTW: I got a 2001 Hayabusa up for sale on bikepoint & bikesales 2001 Red/Silver Busa for sale

Nice! Sounds like a good buy! Has it had the viscous T/c swapped out?

I think so... it was\is Greg's from AMV in Ringwood

Either way anything goes wrong he will help me out hehe. He set it up very well. I am going to be checking it out again tomorrow & dropping him some cash so I'll ask

Cool! Post some pics when you get your hands on it!

Sounds like a good buy, good vintage too.

I bought my 89 Rangie Vogue off Outers for $3K with LPG just before Christmas with a rear maxi-drive as well. Good buys come up all the time, you just have to be in the right place at the right time

Good luck with it.

Hey

Should have it in the next week or so I can't WAIT!!!

The answer is - YES - it has had that T\C changed out for a dico one - need to confirm coz its late lol but I think he said it was changed to the lt325? He also fitted it up so it has an electric centre diff lock - push button & shes locked up! Also mentioned the front drive shaft was changed so there was no vibrations.

Honestly I think the only thing it will need is rock sliders with some steps lol (Yes I am soft) and a snorkel - change over the rear step to my with the wheel carrier & light.. throw on the roof racks & wooohoooo - I am going camping!

Well... Wednesday morning I pick up my new-to-me rangie!!

I am no longer a full time motorcycle rider for the first time in years... which is hurting a bit but mcome Wednesday I will have a new beast!! Can't wait to come home with this thing lol
