Every car that comes in and out of Busselton Automotive Repairs is a testament to our passion for quality craftsmanship, and we take pride in each upgrade we do. We’ve witnessed so many amazing transformations in our shop that it feels wrong to just keep these stories to ourselves. When it comes to vehicle modifications, the details matter, and in this blog series - we’ll give you all the dirty details on how we upgraded this month’s spotlight car: the Next Gen Ranger. Keep reading to learn how we turned an already impressive vehicle into an off-road marvel.

About The Wheel and The Client Behind It

Who better to start with than one of our very own, Trent. As the co-owner of Busselton Automotive Repairs, Trent naturally has always had a keen eye for what makes a car perform and look its best. With 15 years of mechanical experience, he knew exactly what enhancements he would make his new Next-Gen Ranger. Now keep in mind, the Next-Gen Ranger is already pretty amazing by itself. It was designed with a robust build, advanced technology, and great off-road capabilities straight from the factory. But for Trent, there’s always room to push the boundaries a little further.

The Next-Gen Ranger: How We Pimped This Ride

1. Dobinson MRA Shocks. The star of this upgrade was the installation of Dobinson’s Monotube Remote Adjustable (MRA) shocks. Renowned for their durability and adaptability, these shocks offer drivers the unique ability to fine-tune their ride. The remote adjustability feature allows for on-the-go modifications, switching seamlessly between a firmer ride for superior control and a softer setting for comfort. This adaptability ensures that Trent’s Ranger is prepared for anything, whether it’s a smooth highway drive or a rocky off-road trail.

2. Machined KMC Wheels. To complement the high-performance suspension, we matched the Ranger with machined KMC wheels. KMC wheels are known for their robust construction and sleek design. These wheels not only elevate the aesthetic of the Ranger but also provide enhanced performance, offering strength and resilience ideal for challenging conditions. Their striking finish pairs beautifully with the Ranger’s aggressive stance, making it look as bold as it performs.

The Result: A Standout Off-Road Beast

With the combination of Dobinson MRA shocks and KMC wheels, Trent’s Ranger now boasts both unparalleled performance and head-turning looks. The vehicle’s suspension is perfectly calibrated for superior handling and comfort, while the new wheels provide the durability needed for off-road adventures. Trent’s Ranger isn’t just ready for the road; it’s equipped for any journey he throws at it.

Why We Love These Upgrades

There's nothing quite like being part of a vehicle upgrade, especially when it’s for one of our own. Watching Trent transform his vision into reality showcases the heart of what we do—helping car enthusiasts achieve their dreams while enhancing performance and aesthetics. It’s always rewarding to see the difference we can make, and Trent’s passion for his vehicle just made the whole process even better from turning a stock vehicle into a personalised masterpiece that reflects his style and needs.

If Trent’s upgraded Ranger has got you itching to enhance your own ride, look no further. Whether you’re after toughening up your 4x4 for some serious off-road action or just want a smoother, classier daily drive, our team can make it happen.
