Trumpy's Triton

[har05l]

UHF now fitted and TJM rear bar has arrived. Wil fit that too once i get my mexican friend Manual Labour to help me. Photos to come shortly.

If you get stuck trumpy give us a yell and I'll try give you a hand . Very easy to fit, I did mine by myself

I was pretty sure reeldreamer supplied those bash plates not helicoptercow

Looks like a great rig mate! Best looking GLX around I think!

Sorry mate i will edit that mistake. I actually noticed it today when i posted this but i got side tracked and didnt adjust it

Thanks Har05l, I read the destructions and it does look pretty simple, but if i get caught up i will definitely take you up on the offer.

So i finally got my shit together and decided to fit the TJM rear bar. Now my big MN ass looks like it is being served on a platter


At least its good to know the tub is protected tho

This is a good shot of how my UHF is fitted. Uniden UH7760N.


The rest of the unit is nicely hidden up behind the dash with the fuses


Also got my NTN stickers so i will get around to fitting the small one soon, the larger one will be waiting for a canopy.

Good stuff trumpy

It's an eye sore to start with but you will get used to it , and in comparison to the arb job the tjm has far better protection, trust me

We can test it friday if you show up

Not sure how I missed this build...

Definitely a tough looking truck, amazing what the wheels and tyres did even before all the other gear went on.

I have to agree with Reeldreamer, best looking glx on NTN

love where you have hidden the back end of the uniden! great idea.

[trumpy955]

Thanks guys. I picked up a fridge today at the caravan,camping etc show. Cant wait to find a way to mount it in the tray (well that sounds kinda weird )

Also got a canopy and dual battery set up ordered so hopefully its all ready for the Bylong trip.

That was the idea of the guy who fitted it for me (for a bottle of Jim Beam ) He did a great job tho.

[trumpy955]

Been a while since i updated here. Way back (the day before the Bylong trip) i decided i needed a canopy and dual battery set up. I havent got the battery set up pic but here is the canopy ...




and then recently i got some roof racks and a uber cool iron man awning
I absolutely love this thing !!!

just need a lift, lockers and a winch and i will be happy.. for a while

This is definitely one of the best looking GLX's out there. The tyres make a huge difference to the stance of the vehicle on its own, and the colour coded white bar looks fantastic. Do you get much glare off the bar from the high-beams?

[trumpy955]

Thnks mate. To be honest Fraz, its not that bad on reflection. It is really starting to sag tho especially in the rear so that has to be sorted.

Looks good wombat

Really nice Triton mate, I've just bought a new 2012 GLX (not yet delivered) & I'm wanting a similar set of wheels. After reading many threads on this forum there seems to be offset issues with fitting a set of Sunraysia's or similar to a Triton, can I ask what brand wheels you have & did you have any issues fitting them?

[trumpy955]

Thanks Chris. I didnt have any issues, i think my offset was 30 and (until the bullbar sagged the front end) i had no issues with size even with the 32's on. They only scrub now at a certain amount of lock on the plastic inner guards and that is due to the way the inners were cut when the bullbar was fitted moreso than the actual suspension droop.

I just went to a local tyre shop and they organised the rims, so i cant remember what exact brand they are sorry mate.

[Chris.]

Thanks for the response, best of luck for the future plans

[Brent1]

The white that Mitsubishi do the Tritons in always looks so deep, and yes your colourcoded front bar looks fantastic

[trumpy955]

A quick shot of the new lift
