These aren't the standard shocks, a photo coming from a friends 250. But its the standard setup on all Australian delivered Super Duties.

MUCH better than the twin shocks you get. For our conditions anyway.

 

umm... this is the same truck...

Don't discount your luck is all I am going to say.
Or the fact that you OBVIOUSLY use it to pick up the groceries

 

Last time I looked, the Kookabura had legs. Walkin' on the hot ground of the outback ain't fun. If I was a Kookabura, I'd roost in a gum tree too.

 

OK Bill, get to work............I want the part number for that bracket!!!


For God's sake, Fred, under no circumstance show that cracked frame picture to '93Ranger............He would surely go into cardiac arrest and no medic in the world could get him back!!!

Fred, here's the stock front end on the U.S. Super Duties;

 

That will test his mettle. If you can't get it Bill... I probably can... eventually.


Don't worry. Mr Ranger wouldn't know overloaded if it smacked him in the face.

I present to you your Honour. One 2003 F250 (GVW of 8800lbs), when fully laden with spray tipping the scales at 13,500lbs.
(customer complained about spring sag!!!)

 

LOL While you were vacationing, 'ol Ranger broke a rear spring. Did he replace it? Heck no, he jury rigged it by drilling through the broken piece and bolted it back together.

One a these days, he's gonna hook up that trailer in his gallery. Before he gets one block, the frame will crack apart at the junction of the cab and bed....it's prolly already cracked now...just like the owner.

 

Ford finally solves the Navistar diesel fiasco by exchanging all 6.0/6.4 PSD's with 13HP Honda motors....

 

Wonder if he ever paid up that 'garantie' to RocketScience??

I know old R/S would not have overloaded his truck unless Ranger said it was OK.

 

And they took the liberty of installing it OUTSIDE the body to reduce "body off" warranty work!!!


Thoughtful guys those Ford engine ears....

 

Yeah, R/S broke a spreng and bering. Ranger said he was a "dumby" and wouldn't garantie it. Said it was overloaded.

Another new Ranger euphanism: GMC = "Gods Mechcical Curse"

Must have mechcicas where he's from, there called mechanics here.

And mechcical refers to (I think) Mechanical

 

After a 100 mile bicycle ride, my "mechcicas" are real sore!!

 

Even added a 400 gallon fuel tank for those long trips through the outback!!

 

And what looks like AN60 fuel pipe!!!
