Project Rubicon
At last! Our new ‘Rancho Red’ Rubicon Unlimited has just been delivered by Lee Hallett of Peter Warren Chrysler Jeep.
With 4.1 ratio front and rear locking diffs, heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, super-granny 4.1 low range, electronic swaybar disconnects, ESC and Roll Mitigation, the Rubicon is the ‘Full Monty’ and is the most capable off-the-showroom- floor 4WD you can buy.
Over the coming months (and years!) we will be adding some great equipment and accessories. And, by keeping an eye open for our newsletters, you will be able to see the Jeep grow into one of the best Wranglers in the country. This month we will be adding stainless steel side-bars, chrome grille, bug screen, grab handles, door sill protectors, K & N air filter, ProComp lights and Warn Rockcrawler bars.

New 200 Series Landcruiser
Toyota's new LandCruiser will have its global debut at the Sydney International Motor Show this month.
Known as the 200 Series, it is 60mm longer, 30mm wider and 15mm higher than the previous model. The front torsion-bar set-up is now gone (hooray!) and replaced with a double-wishbone coil-over-strut front suspension.
Some models in the new series will feature Kinetic Suspension, an amazing system invented in Australia and now controlled by Tenneco, the owners of Rancho Suspension.

Nissan Navara D40 Suspension
Looking to raise your Navara D40 and improve the ride?
Our Stage 3 kit starts with front strut spacers, rear extended shackles and rear Rancho RS9000X shocks, raising your Navara approximately 45mm.
The strut spacers are manufactured from billett alloy and anodised to protect against the elements. They bolt to the top of the strut tower to provide additional clearance without limiting the wheel travel, unlike new coil springs. The extended shackles are engineered to the highest standard, powder coated and come with 3140 chrome moly pins. The Rancho rear 9000X shocks are 9-position adjustable allowing you to tailor the ride. Optional upgrade to Rancho front struts and remote in-cab kit. All with a big 3year/unlimited kilometre warranty!

Need a light?
Originally conceived as an inspection lamp for workshops, the SE has to be a super-practical device for camping and other outdoor activities. The rechargeable LED lamp delivers 6 hours of continuous operation and 600 lumens of light output - similar to the performance of a fluorescent tube. The 30 high-intensity LEDS can be expect to be trouble-free for 100,000 hours.
The durable rubber non-slip housing is shock, weather, oil and grease resistant, and the lens is made from shatterproof polycarbonate. The unique shape makes the lamp easy to hold (and store), so it is ideal for 4WD/camping, or for use in workshops and other commercial applications.
