No worries champ - mine is only a domestic/light commercial standard really - good for the landscapers on the weekend and for camping trips, so I'd say yours will be a lot tougher!

They look great with the tray on in my opinion, and the inceased volume in payload capacity has me wondering why more don't give it a go.

Be sure to post some photos eh..

Just had news from the Dealer (not using stealer yet) there is an issue on the docks and whilst vehicles have been ordered for pick up they are unable to get the cars from the Mitsubishi lot. Also affecting Hyundai?

It looks like delivery will be another week or so away.

I have finally signed the papers for a Gunmetal Grey VR Triton Dual Cab. 3.2L, Auto. Vehicle goes from the docks straight to campbelfield for the Fleet Trades Tray 1900 wide x 1800 long.

then up to Shepp for dealer delivery stuff.

Will update further upon pick up
Cheers

It's finally arrived.

Picked up on Saturday, all good. :mrgreen:

I have added a few picks to the shed.

Very happy with the dealer delivery, however can't say the same for the Backless Neoprene seatcovers on offer from Mitsubishi. Somehow I dion't think I got my monies worth on that purchase. :evil:

Also the Headboard from Fleet Trades is /was a shocker. I understand the need for saftey but put a butt ugly 1900'2 style twisted wire woven nuvo artistic piece of tish on my car and see how long it takes to come off (All up 2hr 45mis minus 2hr 30min driving time from Shep back to melbourne total 15 minutes). :twisted:

Started to fit the UHF on Sunday but rain hampered the call.

Driving Lights, Bullbar and 9500lb winch gets fitted Tuesday 17th.

Drives well...very well, Tow's like a beaut as well, hooked the missusssesss horse float up and whored around for an hour of so.

This is my first Diesel and being an Auto I am most impressed with the torque this thing has. It seems to eat hills, not like oilers I have been in, in the past

A nice looking ute Grumpybear. You're gonna have a hell of a time keeping that back window clean with the dish licker in the tray. :lol:
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal labotomy!

It ain't pretty being easy!!

I can't speak highly enough of the seat covers 'so far'. Had gravy, drinks, you name it spilt on them and nothing came through. Never had seat covers that do that before.
I hate to advocate drugs, sex, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.

Cheers Guys appreciate the comments.

The Dishie will end up in his cage, just havent the heart to drill and Tap the floor yet, I still have that new baby smell gushy feeling as you can probably tell by this comment?????

Good to hear about the covers Homer, let's hope the mates kids only put their feet on the seat not the back of them?

Adz...The newtriton.net sticker I take is in the mail? Do you need a PM for the Address? If so no probs but i will need a few stickers as I have a mates with a mixture of Disco, Navara, Patrol and Lcruiser........

I think a newtriton.net sticker comes with being a Platinum Subscriber.
Need to contact Dave about that one.

Nice looking bar grumpybear 8-) that must be a newish product as I'm pretty sure that wasn't available when I fitted my Ironman bullbar. Ute is looking the goods!

Hey Subi,

Yep only new they have taken some of the style from the Others mainly the large bumper blocks at the front.

I was well impressed with the bash plating underneath that comes standard with the bar.

Ironman did a great job fitting it, the cuts are spot on, no scratchs on the duco. The wiring and switch gear is spot on, so this will be the first of many Ironman inclusions.

They guys were great to deal with.
Cheers
