Need some help Please!!!!!!

Post by NardusJVR »

Hi all

A Frend of mine bought a ford rager 2.5 4x4 last week it is fitted with a tjm replacement bull bar. Any idea how much it weighs? and where can we compare prices for camel shocks!

Also there was i post about 5 months back about the differant tyre sizes? "If your vehicle have 245 x15 tyres on and you replace them with 31's with how much will the speedo meter be out with"! Hope i explaind well enogh.

He also plans to go to mosambique this dec with friens, do you have any important tips for him on what to pack? any packing lists availible from the guys that does these trips regularly!

Hope you guys can help!

Wat is die diameter/ omtrek van die tyre plus diff ratio. Ek glo jou rpm sal meer as 200 sak nie.

Met 'n effens groter band gaan jou speedo meer akkuraat wees, se so 2-3 % optimisties van die ware spoed. Normaalweg is 'n speedo 7% optimisties

Persoon wat ek ken het 33's op sy Ranger en speedo is nou so 2% stadig.

Julle kan daai bars se gewigte kry op die vervaardigers se website. Mens praat maklik van meer as 30kg.

agree, and even if a vehicle has plenty of spare power, it still make a big difference in fuel consumption

on those Fords the speedo or normally far out, so bigger wheels help with that inaccurac :beach: y

its like being stuck between a rock and a harp place

good luck

I used to run 31"'s on my 2.5 Ranger, and I can honestly say I didnt even notice the difference. There is currently a set of 30"s on the Ranger. I dont believe onboard speedo's anyway, I always work off the GPS.

On Kaspaas with 33"s on, the speedo also under-read at the same rate as Heinrich mentions. Meaning, on the speedo I was doing 120 but on the GPS I was doing more like 125... scary.. :shock: :shock:
