Hi everyone!

My name is Shana! I've got a 2016 Px2 Ranger that Ive converted to a full scale overlanding rig that I am driving around different parts of the world. Most of the stuff on my truck is Aussie made.. I am wondering if I should make a list or not? There is alot to list haha!

I'm here to get some help and advice on the truck and how I can improve it further to make it more reliable in the middle of no where. I came across this scanning tool which I totally love and really want to get one to unlock more stuff on my instrument cluster and want to make the most out of it!

Ive attached a few pics of my truck! I'm currently in south east Asia and there is one picture before I stuck the canopy on.

The canopy is from GCI Tray tech.... Oh my.. I did not realise how heavy these things are!! Almost 700 Kgs! Uff!

Hi Shana
That would be a great adventure and I wish you safe travels.
At 700kgs that is a heavy canopy.
Have you ever weighed the vehicle travel ready, must be close to maximum.
If you have a laptop with preferably W10/11 and download Forscan you will get lots of info from this site.
Happy travels & stay safe

Hiya Ross! Thanks for the welcoming,

I've got a macbook but I'm sure I have an old Windows somwhere.

Is there by any chance a list of a link to a list of all possible mods and limitations with the scantool?
I intend to get a larger fuel tank and was wondering if I could reset the distance to empty information ?..

Not all scantools can do alterations so it would be good to know exactly what you have.
There is no list as such that I am aware of but there are many things that can be altered/improved
The fuel tank capacity can be changed, the on board computer then recalculates the DTE based on that figure.
