CLEARVIEW TOWING MIRRORS
$795 for the ones to suit my ranger with the chrome and indicators built in to suit my xlt . and about $750 to suit f 250 and 350 so you saved a few bucks getting them out of the states

Looks good Ash. Did you eventually sell the Colorado 6 litre?

Ashley, F truck looks the part, fyi I used to have an F350 for work and fitted similar mirrors, as they were from the states the LHS mirror didn't have the required internal angling ability for a RH drive vehicle, we had to physically angle the mirror bracket back and fix to achieve the correct viewing angle, unfortunately this was only after my offsider reversed into a machine that had snuck up on our LHS.

F250
I saw it today. Its got a bit of Aussie Redneck about it!
Sounds quite tuff.... almost like those Poootrol guys who run straight piped exhausts.
Its a beast. The drop hitch will need to be about 500mm!!

Still just running the standard exhaust, haven't touched anything on that side of it yet. A bit reluctant because I don't want it to drone when towing.... |

Thinking I am going to get it wrapped. Got a quote today for $5500 to wrap the whole truck in a metallic blue and then put our logo etc on it. Should look pretty good. Will match the Supercar & Cobra colour...

What would a "cheap but reasonable quality" paint job cost in comparison?

If I wanted to keep silver I could get the doors & front guards painted but I would like to go with our business colors to match the other promotional vehicle |

Finally got the 4 ton adjustable hitch receiver so I could fit that up and hook up the trailer!
Took it for a quick drive up the road and yep, hardly know it's there!

Quote revised to $6300.....
Got another quote for $1600 to paint both sides of the cab i.e. Guards & doors
Bonnet, roof & tub are ok.
I think it will now stay silver until I win the lotto...

Does the aerodynamic bubble on the front of your trailer give you any noticible improvement in fuel consumption ?

Yes it does. The vehicle I was initially towing it with was an SS Commodore wagon (Pontiac G8 for you Americans) and the flat face of the trailer helped to a 25 litres per 100klm fuel consumption...... I put the bubble on it and dropped that figure by 5 litres per 100klm. Well worth the effort! |

i often wondered how good those bubbles worked and thought about putting one on my new trailer im building . in the end i made the front section slope down at the top and the side goes in towards each other .
i made the top slope down its the same height as my canopy on the ranger and the sides come in to the same width as the ranger im hoping it will have the same effect as the bubble time will tell i guess anything under 20 lt to the 100 ks i will be happy with ..
