Hi from Launceston Tasmania
« on: October 13, 2011, 09:08:18 PM »
Hi All.
Have been looking at this site for a month or so now since started looking for my families first CT.   Love all the great feedback, which came in handy when we flew over to the big island, to check out all the CT's at last weekends show at Sandown racecourse Melbourne.   The show blew me away with how many different suppliers of these there are.  From the feedback from sites like this one and comparing what was displayed, we are talking/emailing with Customline at the moment and going through all the many different options available and hope to have CT on order by this time next week.

Any further feedback on Customline or suggestions on what kit I should have included from the start would be great.

Also how restricted do you think I will be by towing my trailer around with my current truck being a 2WD not 4WD Ford Ranger Hi rider dual cab?   

 :cheers:

Welcome to the Froum Richneet, the ranger will do ok on most dirt roads, It will just limit the amount of real off road stuff. An upgrade will be on the cards when the bug hits ;D
