LOOK at the postcards and you’d be forgiven for thinking Australia is nothing but endless red dirt. The occasional beach here and there, and about a million blokes wearing khaki shorts and carrying knives the size of some European countries. But spend enough time zigzagging the dirt roads across this wide land and it becomes obvious just how diverse our geography really is. The endless plains of South Australia are a world apart from the snow-capped mountains of Tasmania. The ice-cold river crossings snaking their way through the Victorian High Country bear little resemblance to the sheer cliff faces of Western Australia’s Steep Point. And the rugged sandstone country surrounding Sydney couldn’t be farther from Queensland’s sand islands if it tried.
It’s fitting then that each state builds their 4x4s completely different. It’s why just one look at Jimmy’s Ranger and it’s all too obvious it’s built for the endless summer beaches only Queensland can supply.
HIGH FIVE
SO what’s the first thing a Queensland Beach Runner needs? The answer is simple, more power. Lurking underneath the bonnet of Jimmy’s 2017 PX2 Ranger is the big swinging five cylinder Ford affectionately refers to as the Duratorq. Jimmy’s is punching above its weight with a series of mods designed to shoehorn as much air in to the 3.2 diesel as possible.
