(Press Quote) The new Ford Ranger has won the “International Pick-Up Award 2013” making it the third international award Ford has won this year. Every member of the judging panel ranked the new Ranger as their number one choice; praising its performance on- and off-road, strong engine line-up, payload and towing capability, and safety. The new Ford Ranger won the “International Pick-Up Award 2013” award following extensive testing at Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire, England, after which it was awarded 47 points – more than the combined number of points garnered by the second- and third-placed Isuzu D-Max and Volkswagen Amarok. The award was presented to Ford by jury chairman Pieter Wieman at the Fleet Transport EXPO 12 event, in Dublin. "The Ford Ranger is a great all-rounder, combining the perfect blend of on-road comfort and stability with off-road capability," said Jarlath Sweeney, the Irish judge on the panel of CV journalists that also serves on the “International Van of the Year” jury. The new Ford Ranger is offered in three versatile cab body-styles – Double, Super and Regular – that are among the roomiest in its class; comes with a choice of two powerful and economical Duratorq TDCi engines, and with a choice of 4x2 and 4x4 drive-trains “The Ranger is great for work and great for leisure, and customers will appreciate the difference as soon as they get behind the wheel,” said Paul Randle, vehicle line director, Global Commercial Vehicles, Ford of Europe. “This prestigious award is testament to the work of our global product teams and there is plenty more to look forward to with the launch of the all-new Transit and all-new Transit Connect in 2013.” Totally new from the ground up; the new Ranger now delivers more payload and class-leading towing capability; along with innovative new comfort and driver assistance features; and is the first such vehicle ever to achieve a Five Star Euro NCAP rating. This year, Ford has won other international awards including the “International Van of the Year 2013” for the all-new Transit Custom; and the company’s 1.0-litre Eco-boost petrol engine was named the 2012 “International Engine of the Year”. The Quaddro Scissor Jack has the following advantages over existing 4x4 Vehicle Scissor Jack's, and other 4x4 Vehicle Mechanical Jacks, available in the market: 1. Lifting Power This Scissor Jack has extensive lifting power due to the PCT Patented Design of this Scissor Jack which has been extensively tested to be able to lift/lower any make or model 4x4 Vehicle on the market. The Rated Load Capacity of 2000 Kg / 4400 Lbs provides a safe lifting/lowering capacity at unlimited positions on any 4x4 Vehicle Model available worldwide. 2. Structural Stability The Scissor Jack has superb STRUCTURAL STABILITY due to the PCT PATENTED - Central Coil Spring Design, which provides in excess of 700 Kg (1540 lbs) of STRUCTURAL SUPPORT to the Scissor Jack Arms during the mechanical lifting operation. Due to the Central Coil Spring Design the structural stability of the jack is increased to levels not previously possible with current scissor jack designs available in the market. The structural stability is very evident when used in off-road conditions where instability of ground level surface is the critical factor, and the most common reason for scissor jack structural failures. This structural stability feature also allows for extreme off-road operational use allowing for lifting and recovery of bigger, and heavier mass, 4x4 Vehicles to be lifted/lowered. New product development for specific niche markets are in progress such as for the Military market. 3. Safety and Ease of Use Because of the structural stability of this design it is much safer to use this new jack than any other scissor jack, and/or other mechanical lifting devices used in the 4x4 Vehicle Off-Road market. The Central Coil Spring Design also protects the Drive Screw from structural strain which further increases the safety of this jack as structural damage is virtualy eliminated on the drive screw. 4. Technology Advantage The Quaddro Scissor Jack, Extender and the Planetary Gear Mechanism concept has been granted WIPO PCT Patent, and other selected countries Patent protection rights, with on-going PCT and relevant Patent registration in progress. 5. Product Versatility This Quaddro Scissor Jack can be used on ANY 4x4 VEHICLE MAKE >MODEL>TYPE as it can lift any size vehicle at virtually any position without the need for extra lifting points as needed with other century old mechanical lifting technology jacks. 2013 Wildcat 1000 Limited ENGINE Type V-Twin, SOHC 4-stroke, 4-valve w/EFI H.O.

POWERTRAIN Transmission Automatic CVT, Hi/Lo Range, Reverse & Park Drive System 2/4 WD + Electric Front Differential Lock Front Brakes Hydraulic Disc Rear Brake Hydraulic Disc Toyota-'97 FJ80 Land Cruiser Nope don’t even try to argue with this one. Even you FJ40 freaks! The '97 Land Cruiser has got to be one of the best 4x4 packages that Toyota ever offered. The 4.5L engine was backed by a four-speed automatic transmission that gave decent power and a good amount of torque when needed. The FJ80 sported matching front and rear solid heavy-duty 9 1/2-inch ring gear axles with dropout-style third members that made it the most heavy-duty Toyota to date. And if that wasn't enough, how about the option of three different lockers? The transfer case is a full-time 4WD unit with a differential that locks up when in low range, and the axles, both front and rear, were offered with selectable lockers. And this was back in 1997! Where was the Rubicon then? The axles were slung via a radius arm and coil front, with a four-link and coil holding up the rear. In stock form or as a build platform, I think this'd be the Toyota I'd buy if I could fit this in the space taken up by my other two 4x4s . Come meet the team and discuss your needs!

The Pirelli Scorpion ATR has recently scooped up 1st place in the Australian 4x4 Action Magazine tyre test. Results were based on the scores awarded across a range of key areas including tyre balance, tyre noise, stopping distance, hill climbing ability, sand testing, swerve testing and a mud run.
The 4x4 Action Magazine had the following to say about the Pirelli Scorpion ATR "The Pirelli Scorpions were one of the most sure-footed tyres on the high-speed gravel swerve and hill climb legs of the test. The level of grip from the Scorpions allowed the Patrol to practically walk up the loose hill climb with very minimal wheel spin. Their traction on the downhill section of our test allowed us to bring the Patrol to a snail's pace whereas others simply slid down without grip".

Rope FactsBubba Rope® is a tougher kind of recovery rope developed from military specs for safely pulling off-road vehicles out of mud, sand or snow. It is the only snatch rope with a polymer coating.
StretchNylon Double Braid is the preferred choice for applications requiring high strength with excellent shock absorbing properties. Strength
DurabilityDouble braid has good resistance to abrasion, sunlight and chemicals. However, with extended immersion in water, nylon ropes products will lose up to 10% of their strength. With our polymer coating, Bubba Ropes extend the above positive properties ten fold and gives the added water resistance property to maintain specified breaking strengths. QualityEach Bubba Rope is hand crafted and built in our factory in Tampa, Florida. The eyes or loops of ropes are specified to be longer and stronger than other recovery ropes. To add to the strength of the eye we use 50% more material in our splicing and add a strong seizing derived from actual Military specifications. All ropes are dipped in a polymer base giving the ropes a protective covering and impregnating the nylon fibers, leaving them strong yet flexible. All ropes are inspected before packaging and shipping. Beware of Black Rope Fakes: black nylon double braid products are normally 10% below published specifications. - Cordage Institute 1500 Bubba Ropes are NOT made from black nylon double braid; instead they are white nylon fibers dipped in a polymer base that is dyed black. Therefore the breaking strength of a Bubba Rope is never compromised. taximart have opened their own recovery division and their own mobile units are in the pipeline. However the important part of the story is they are fast becoming our biggest customer in recovery equipment. So a special thanks to Mark Lamberti (Chairman) , Rallph Josling, Bennie Havenga, Aadil Abdool and Clinton van Niekerk for making us part of the team. |
