Well - I finally picked up the new truck yesterday (22km on it) and am a happy camper :D :D The black looks shit hot and Im going to enjoy it while i can cause soon it'll show all the scratches and dirt :roll: Piccies are on my profile.

I drove from there to the tyre dudes to get new rubber and what a difference that makes ! From there went to ARB to meet the lads I'd been talking to for the last few weeks and to talk timings for when I could book her in.

Those blokes are outstanding. When they found out I was getting a flexiglass canopy (due wallet being stretched a little too far), they didn't want a bar of me driving out of there without an ARB one fitted with all the other work I was getting. So they played with some numbers and put the canopy on (with side opening windows) for the same price as I was going to pay for the 'flexisports' canopy :o They were even going to put in the front and back internal racks and a pair of bars on top, for that price, but i decided to not go ahead with that bit cause im not keen on the bars being permanent - I wouldn't be using them that much. They took that amount off the total price, and now that leaves me with nearly enough for a new radio and antennae......... ;) Its going in on Tuesday for its makeover, and should be ready Thursday or Friday for the camera and some dirt 8-)

Thanks to all you blokes who have helped guide my decsion making processes so far. Its been a real help.

Talking of help.........what sort of UHF should I be looking for and how much (and where from) can I pick them up for ?

Interestingly, whilst cecking the car over at the stealers, the spare tyre was only a steel rim and there was no rubber seal on the bottom of the ute gate. We looked over a GLX-R and it had an alloy spare and the rubber seal, so I noted it on the pre-delivery report and asked them to sort it out for me. Any other VR owners have the same problem ? Did they come to the party ? They also said that there is no PIN for the stereo either ? :?

My GLX-R doesn't have a PIN... I think. I believe that seal is part of the 'dust seal pack'. Just tell them it is missing and they should add it.

Have a look on your tray for the seal. There is a seal down each side of the tailgate, but the bottom seal should run across the the tray where it meets the tailgate.

The spare on my GLXR is alloy.
I hate to advocate drugs, sex, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.

AFAIK, the VR comes with a steel spare, and no dust seal on the tub. But who wants one of those useless style-side tubs anyway - alloy tray's FTW!

To close off the thread - all gear now fitted (and refitted where required !) and piccies in shed. http://www.newtriton.net/phpbb/shed.php?view=1&id=530

Hats off the the lads at ARB Moorebank for doing such a great job.

It looks much better than with an alloy tray Sparg's............. ;)

They are not cheap, but I reckon its money well spent with excellent quality gear. If you bundle up a whole bunch of stuff and do it all at once they give you great deals.
