Shep Pallett Fit In Between Wheel Well In Ba Ute?
that is interesting I only have 1150mm inbetween my wheel arches (my ute is a 03 xr6 n/a) I had to take lenths of timber to put gyprock sheets on when I had to pick some up. maybe ford put the wrong tub liner in your ute only a problem if you want to put wider tyres on like 19 or 20 by 10's. the xl & xls tubs are designed to take a 1200 by 2400 sheet with the tailgate down. sanzort if u get a xr6t and the pallet dosn't fit change the tub liner to a xl 1 with the larger wheel arch space if buying from a ford dealer try and get them to do it for free to make the sale.

Shep Pallett Fit In Between Wheel Well In Ba Ute?
from what I can remember from when I got my ute the sales guy said that the space between the wheel arch's is narrow in the xr range than the xl/s to be able to fit bigger wheels under, in a xls you should have a full 1200mm between the arch's it's only the tub liner that makes the driffence.

Na Fuel Efficiency And Km's Per Tank
that's really bad efficiency I got better in the ute towing a tralier full of stock two ladders on the racks with a bundle of 40mm pipes and the back of the ute full with tools and materials, I would get about 14-15l/100 about 500-550kms off a tank and that was driving around sydney with a heavy foot. maybe u should give it a bit to try losen things up then take it out on the open road to cuise, that might help. in my ute a BA auto I have had the avg down to 9.2l/100 with the tray full and two of us in the cab but that was driving from sydney to coffs when it was double demerits normal is about 9.5l/100. I have got 751km on a tank and when I filled up the trip computer said I still had 35kms to empty in the wive's BA manual seadan it's avg on highway is 9.5-10l/100 around town it's about 12-13l/100 so about 550-600 a tank and the cars stock bar the k&n air filter

Speed Cameras
most of the speed cameras between sydney and coffs have been both directions for the last 2 years or more (its only in the last 2 years we have done this trip a lot) the worst part of the trip is macksville to coffs it's only 50km and has 6 cameras. you have to watch out for the camera cars cause they will get u both ways I got done in tamworth it was the day before 0-15 over went to 3 points.

Stolen Camera Gear - Scum's Photo Attached
some people are just f**kwits can't people just get a job and buy things them self. the 1st thing that stands out to say it's fake, it's a magenta licence (brown across the top and it should say heavy vechicle drivers licence not drivers licence) and it's only a C class licence. and the 2nd thing is the rta would not acept a signature like that, they are very fussy about the signature's.

They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out at night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long. If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you. PS. The one on the bottom is eating the one on the top. These are Spiders found daily in IRAQ by troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of these in your tent!!

[Comes with a "genuine" kappa flash tuner, and Monster tacko. 4 kill switches and stage 4 alarm.. (you couldnt pay me enough to steal something like this) 3.73 diff gears, in a 6 speed auto is like having a 20km/h speed limit in 1st gear (standard is 2.7:1 or so) Ohh, and a professionally centered intercooler 3.73 diff is from a manual xr6 turbo a auto diff is 3.45 looks like a piece of sh!t, It sounds like he doesn't want anyone test driving it cause they will find out it's not 455rwkws
