The Ford Ranger topped the sales charts for November 2021, making it not only the best-selling ute of the year, but also the best-selling vehicle overall. More Rangers ended up in the garages of customers than any other vehicle. This is owed to the place Ford has managed to retain after local production completely ceased just a few years back.

Of the various welding types, TIG welding has proven to be particularly widespread in getting the best possible welds in a range of metals. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) or more commonly referred to as Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding involves using a tungsten electrode to produce an electric arc to heat the workpiece and fusing the metals in a smooth weld. An inert gas, typically argon or helium, protects the welded surface from contamination. A filler may be used in the whole process, but is not necessary. The use of external filler rods as opposed to the continuous wire electrodes in MIG welding can take some time in getting used to, but offer a high level of control which only increases by being able to control the amperage from the welding machine. The result is a unique look to the weld. Being able to weld different types of metals is only one of the advantages of TIG welding.

Motorcycles are incredibly thrilling and exciting to use. They’ve steadily remained popular over the last century, and it’s so easy to see why. However, one thing really needs to be said, which is that motorcycles can be kind of difficult to steer and handle sometimes. Far from impossible, of course, but every motorcycle rider should look for ways to improve the riding experience. There are quite a few things you should look into improving on any motorcycle, such as improving its exhaust system, but improving your overall riding experience should be the priority.

There’s a clear rift in the world of motorcycles, splitting riders between the two types of engines most of them ride (apart from electric ones). You have the air-cooled purists, riding your typical Harley cruiser, and the liquid-cooled gang that worship high redlines and straight-line...

A lot of things today rely on electricity. From our household appliances and even everyday gadgets such as smartphones and laptops. With the world being more reliant on electric power and technology, it is the future of almost every aspect of our lives, including transportation. Electrical vehicles are becoming more and more present in our lives, with bicycles being just a tad bit ahead. Just like electric scooters though, electric bicycles are the future of inner-city commuting. Electric bicycles are meant to make it easy to commute even in dense traffic.

How much of our beautiful continent have you actually explored? Australia is known as one of the places in the world that offer breathtaking views, amazing nature, and unbelievable outdoor experiences all throughout. So, if you're thinking about an adventure, it might be time to...

To tell you the truth, nothing feels quite like being behind the wheel. The road, the mountains, the sights, the smells…the feel of a cross country trip dwarves most things in our daily lives. Some prefer to travel via bike, others by car, but in order to experience everything that our portion of the southern hemisphere has to offer, nothing can beat a 4x4. Just picture it, you, a flat roof basket full of camping equipment, with a map to nowhere and all the time in the world.
The braking systems of today mainly use what is known as a brake pad. Although there's a different type of brakes that make use of a shoe, the former has prevailed because of how well they perform. Disc brake's main components, the pads, are what presses on the wheel when you engage the brake pedal. The pedal sends brake fluid to the brake calliper which then pushes the pistons which apply the force from the pedal to the pads themselves. While there are a lot of different components in a disc brake, the pads are the most vulnerable as they come in direct contact with the spinning wheel. Just like you would replace your exhaust for performance gains you would do the same with brake pads for a different reason. Here the reason is because the pads are no longer useful.
Extra storage space is always at a premium in a ute. The focus usually falls on practical accessories which make the driving experience more enjoyable. And if that is all sorted out, there are several issues involving a safe ride of your ute off-road. It can be inconsequential like an issue with the cabin windows or a serious problem with your brakes or with your transmission. Regardless of what the issue is, truth is that the storage puzzle in a ute is put aside and this doesn’t always work in favour of all your cargo.
