AS REVEALED in our January issue, our new vehicle build for 2023 is a Ranger Sport V6. As one of the most talked about and biggest new 4x4 vehicle launches of 2022, the new Ranger holds heaps of appeal to both us and the aftermarket suppliers, so it was an easy choice of vehicle for our build. Much easier than actually buying one at the moment!
It’s around six months since the RA Ranger hit the market and there’s plenty of great aftermarket gear available for it, so we were able to jump right in to the build. First stop was to the workshop of TJM Epping in Victoria. The Epping store is relatively new and is a corporate showcase store, so it’s all shiny and clean and loaded with all the best TJM gear as well as plenty from other leading 4x4 accessory brands.
TJM supplied the protection equipment and a winch for the Ranger and, while we were keen to fit a full bullbar – like TJM’s Outback Bar – and side rails to this build, the company was keen to show off its new Venturer Bar. Now that the Venturer bar is on the car, we’re glad they insisted on it.
