Our aim is to document our travels around Australia driving our Ford Ranger while towing the Essentials caravan.
We will review places we have stayed and items we use as well as show you any changes we make to our car and caravan.
You will find we are true and authentic people and our videos are not going to be perfect, you just get plain old Jon and Tracie

Car looks great guys!! Laughed so hard that you went in for suspension and came out with tyres as well !!!
Hahaaha thanks. Yes you would think I would catch up to Jon by now. He always seems to do that lol. Tells me a very good reason why we NEED to do it and I fall hook,line and sinker everytime
I have those tyres on my Navara n very happy with them, enjoy your vid's.
Thanks so much for watching. Yeah we are very happy with the tyres
What an awesome video! Thank you so much and so glad you are loving the car.
p.s It looks great
Thank you. We also have a video earlier on our channel when you did our Mitsubishi Pajero.
sure does
Hi Jon and Tracie , sending support ❤ hope you had a great Christmas and Happy new year 🎉
Same to you! But hope your recovering from the dreaded Covid well. Our daughter has just tested positive today so we hope she didnt give it to us after spending time together over Christmas.
well done. another good show. did you do some measurements ? what was the fitted price of the suspension? did you get a wheel alignment? good onyas....
Hi Brian and thanks for watching. Yes we did measurements and yes we definitely got a wheel alignment and also front extended sway bar links. Measurements are from the centre of the wheel to the bottom of the guard - front measured @ 550 before and 645 after - rear measured @585 before and 650 after. Tyres are now 32inch instead of 30 inch. I will have to find the receipt for the price, cant remember that
Hello Jon and Tracie, the Ranger looks great. Wow you have done only15,000 klms since you got the Ranger and have to replace springs and shocks. Safety has no price, better to be safe than sorry. Till next week safe travels. Cheers Chris.
Thanks Chris, best investment ever. Your right there, safety is so important particularly the amount of driving we have planned for 2023
Hey team, I have found your channel and have been enjoying the content.
Just a quick question regarding the lift kit, and the effect on the height of the trailer coupling, did you have to adjust the height of the coupling to keep the Van level or did the 70mm difference in height not make a great difference to the height when coupled up?
Hi there, thanks for watching. With the standard suspension the car actually dropped about 40mm so once we got the lift put on the van sits perfectly straight
Hi Guys if the suspension upgrade now done is it good enough(the right suspension) for a gvm upgrade if you need to or if you want a upgrade gvm like me paid $2000 for springs and shocks on the rear of my 2012 ranger was told that if I wanted to upgrade that they would replace all suspension again for their requirements so hope you don’t get in that situation cheers Rodjenny
Hi Rod, thanks for watching. So yes we have the right shocks and springs for a small GVM upgrade however we don't need one as all the weights are good for our needs
How much for 2inch suspension lift
It cost us around 2 grand fitted. This was two years ago now so can't really remember. Thanks for watching 👀
mine getting done next week@@onlyleavingfootprints
How is your lift kit going after two years..happy with product and installation?
@@EvantsStudio yes very happy. No complaints at all
That is a real nice car! It looks much better with the lift kit and thanks for subscribing to my channel I just returned the favor and subscriber to yours 👌😁
Its taken us awhile to get used to it. We loved our Mitsubishi Pajero and were sad to have had to sell it but the Ford Ranger is doing great and we love driving it.
