How many Tritons have really bent their chassis??

MN triton hey 26

"No idea productions" at its best

Yeah I know classic ay. 26 wishes it was a MN.

[4wd26]

if it had of been a MN then having done damage at Yawal might also have applied......

[Calblitzen]

This is interesting were they got your trip report from 26 if you didn't give it to them. Also it was my MN that was damaged at Yalwal. I'm glad I wasn't mentioned in the report.

If you look at the top of the page, it shows web links or what's on the web
I posted on their forum links to my trip report, they have then lifted pics from my blog and pics from my server

There were no pm's or emails to say/ ask if they could, that has happened before and they pay for the report and photos

Well yeah you might have won something going on what it says at the bottom, but I'm amazed they have done this with out informing you. Very poor form!
Oh well let's hope you've at least one that prize.

Sorry can't work out how to rotate pic on Tapa.

That'll buff out SS

[Big Gee]

Yep, unfortunately the lady driver died in this accident. Truck ran up the back of her while she was waiting to turn right (in a right turn lane).

[Cowboy Dave]

Geez you wouldn't pick that, the cabin looks fine.

Just out of interest has any one seen any pics or herd any story's of the dual cab 76 with bent chassis yet. I know it's still pretty early days but I guess.

[RHKTriton]

That red unit must be the limited shorty edition.

You can only imagine the force that would have done that. Probably broke her neck on impact - don't think airbags are any use in this situation.

Front airbags only deploy if hit from the front, side airbags only deploy is side impact and the secondary trigger for front bags is rate of deceleration.

The force would have been massive in that hit so agree above.

[ag9111]

Cabin is in one piece and hasn't been cut apart by rescue services.
Air bags did not deploy

As it happens I saw one on a tilt-tray in Adelaide last weekend... It had a custom tradie/tool box on the back with a substantial overhang and a hitch tongue which looked to be a good 400-500mm long sticking out of the towbar in order to facilitate trailer hookup... The towball was about 100mm off the tray bed, massive bend...!!!

I havn't seen it, but there are some accidents waiting to happen.
most of the guys putting trays on the back of these things (landcruiser dual cabs) are oversized

alls good until it breaks- Toyota tough


add a couple of spare tyres to the rear, then ballweight (not that the above example would need that)
JMO, time will tell with this

[RHKTriton]

The bulk of the problems are caused by inappropriate use of the vehicle.

i kind of operate on the function before finish principle... but i hope for his sake it functions very very very well.

I'm with you on that, much as I always wanted one of these things, now I seen and worked with few around here, I have switched sides...

[trumpy955]

i saw a nice one today on the way home, white, so i knew it had to be good Had a short tray back with a dog cage, all custom and very neat. lifted, exhaust (such a good note) , muddies and usual bar work. Was a very nice set up. that maroon thing is fugly, but they arent all like that. id def own one just for the note haha. i dont think the single turbo has anything special in the power department tho.

[lgil86]

did i read somewhere the rear wheels sit wider than the front making them a bit crap in the sand??
