Hi Guys,
I bought mine new in 07. Wanted the GLX-R but got a GLS 3.2 DiD as they didn't have one in black. Got a big discount (ABN,Fleet) so my wife and I decided to get some extra's including front nudge(not standard on GLS) tray liner, flip down dvd for the kids, towbar, factory floor mats and seat covers(neoprene). A week after picking it up I fitted a DP Chip for more grunt(never enough), 22" wheels as most of our driving is on the black stuff. I also recently fitted up 2 sets of spotties, set of Narva 175's and Narva 225 Blue. Talk about daylight @ night. Prior to that I also replaced the factory bulbs including the fog lights to whiter light bulbs. I guess by now you know why my wife thinks I'm a light freak
. I mounted the 175's on top of the nudge where the factory fitting points are and the 225's I fabricated some 6mm angle brackets to the existing mounting points so that the lights sit between the top and bottom bar. Currently I'm looking at getting some sort of extractors and sports system to help the motor breathe as the guys @ DP Chip have told me that would be the next step in getting more for less (power per litre). We haven't had a chance to do much 4x4 stuff as we water ski most of summer hence why we bought the triton. At the time the boat ramps at our local dams we 30m away from the water. The DP chip has improved my fuel economy from 15l/100 to 11l/100 while towing the boat full of gear (ski/camping). But even more surprising was the fact that I sat in 5th @ 110kph unless I hit a steep slope, in which case I would drop to fourth and power up the hill overtaking others. Love the look on their faces
when they hear the "Traktor" as the kids call it, overtaking with a boat hooked up.
I am happy that I finally found a site dedicated to the triton only. I will now no longer have to listen to how all the other owners of other brands keep telling me how I should have bought one of theirs. I love my truck and it does everything I need and therefore is perfect! End of story
Till next time
Mark
