[sammy199]

Hey guys thought I would document my build up of the triton will post photos tomorrow when I get on the laptop but had a arb bullbat and I-max 1200lbs winch installed a few weeks ago and had the car booked in for this coming Monday to have a ironman lift kit, safari snorkel an Mickie Thompson atz 265/75r16 fitted

[NickTriton]

Hey mate. Sounds like its coming along nicely !! Let us know how the lift goes?

[sammy199]

getting a bit dirty at work


My two babes

with the bar and winch installed




ill try and take some photos to show how much the suspensions sagged so we can compair it to when it gets changed next week

[mattz]

Keep the pics coming Sammy.
I love a good GLS build. most of the GLSs I see are doing a school run rather than getting dirty......good work.

Yeah I know, Diablo's is basically stock except for the lights and tyres

[sammy199]

any suggestions of what to do maybe re upholster or should i replace the seats completely?

iobs2 unit does bother wifi and bluetooth although the app i use which is of the same name gets me a reading of 17l/100ks compared to my trip computer saying 9.2/100ks any ideas? o and the little sensors for the cruise

ipod cable, uhf and the spottys control although i bought a dig options today and am gonna try the install tomorrow was gonna but the switches and possibly even the junction box for the uhf in the single din sleeve that i am gonna put where the factory radio normally was any ideas

and finally thought i would upload some photos to show how sagged the suspension is and just a general view of the car






will upload pics on monday one the suspension, new tyres, snorkel and new head unit are installed

[sammy199]

just dropped her off at extreme 4x4 to have the suspension, tyres and snorkel fitted tomorrow will put picture up tomorrow

[Duck]

Looking good mate Look forward to the new suspension

[sammy199]

o and i got the dig options unit installed too took me about an hour

[sammy199]

picked up the car today here are some picks

the dig options i installed on saturday

and here is the pictures of the snorkel, lift and new tires






thanks to the guys at extreme 4x4 they did a amazing job and top service found that i had sheered 3 bolts off on the ball joint on the front left and didn charge me for the extra 2 hours they had to take to fix it
so now i need to decide what to do nex next 3 things on the wish list are canopy, bash plates and new side steps

[sammy199]

just got back from testing the new suspension
rides so much better

[Tim007]

go the protection first mate. If you are going to use it best buy the protection bits first. You are going to buy them eventually by the sounds of it but they will keep you from spending major coin on repairs in the mean time. One of the reasons mine is still straight is because I got my bar work first other wise judging from some of my bars I would be missing some paint, especially on the tub.

[sammy199]

cheers mate goes to mitsubishi mid next month for 175000k service first one since getting the timing chain replace and already sounds like its need a valve adjustment again, had it serviced 4 times and every time need a adjustment not happy hopefully its fixed after this service also getting new clutch as its slipping quite bad so money goes to the for now so far looking at just under 3000 for it

[salt36]

Nice looking Triton mate, bugger about the clutch....

Nice excavator as well Love the bigger versions, so much smoother.... I operate a 20 tonner

[sammy199]

[sammy199]

hey guys no its not a triton but it is my new toy and shes got a fat ass

[sammy199]

just gonna put this question here as i couldnt find anything after a search

has anyone used the old fog light to put in a reverse lights??

[Cowboy Dave]

Yeah it's been done. I thought it looked a bit crap (too small for the hole) but others seemed to think it was okay so maybe you'd go for it.

[sammy199]

its only until i put the rear bar on in the next 6 months

[Cowboy Dave]

Depends how much light you're after I guess. I bought some little cree LED globes that slot into the standard spot and they throw a fair bit of light out the back. Not as much as the foggies would but plenty for reversing purposes and they're cheap and take 5 minutes to install.

[sammy199]

okay so im gonna put this here see if i get an answer in the next few days other wise ill pose this question in a more appropriate thread

i had a 3 inch exhaust installed last week and asked the guy to put a egt bung in for the future chit it that will be going in so i was just wondering if he has put it in the right place?

[sammy199]

okay looked through the threads couldnt find the answer i was looking for if there is an answer to my question can someone please point me in the right direction

so i had a 3 inch exhaust installed last week and i asked them to put in a bung for a egt probe for the future install of a chit it chip and this is where i beleive they put it, just wondering if this is the right spot or if it is a good spot im quite new to this and want to make sure everything is done right

[Mooons]

Pretty close to where mine is
