does anyone know a shop in Australia that sells rock crawling gear for the triton?

I asked Marks4wd but they dont have the 3.15 or lower for the triton.
they only have until 2.7 I rather have it lower then 2.7, since i have 40" tyres i think i better have it lower. Offcourse i have my ring and pinions already the lowest possible.

There isn't much around for transfer gears.
I think marks are the only ones that do them. :roll:

the diffs are from a Landcruiser vx80. i run them 7.37 which brings the rpms back to driving stock rims and stock car.
but in low gear offroad i am realy lacking a very low speed. Specially when i need to use the winch the speed of the wheels is too high compared to the winch speed.

Finally took the time to cut a nice plate to fit in the centre console for the Front and rear difflock switches and the gauge and switch for the front airbagman suspension.

Today started with taking out all interior panels, door panels and centre console.
I put on all panels and under everything self adhesive sound deadening and vibration proofing, from 5mm up to 10mm depeding on the space behing the panel.

I also put 10mm on the not covered steel behind the back seats.

there is a thin aluminium foil and the rest is black closed cell foam.

it starts to look like this:

Great idea. I'd like Scratch proof paint on the sides, high gloss on bonnet and roof.
Very nice ride you have.

Yeah, the sensors go on your tyres, then the monitor stays in the car and let's you keep an eye on the pressures. Some will have enough to look after your trailer too. ;)

I am going offroad next weekend, so i will take some pics. Got it back from the shop today and the side cameras are super, now i can see what i am hitting with the left front tire :D

I am going to put a winch in the back asap, and then i might be done with all the work, car is full and there is little space left for mods :cry:

start a new part of my Triton build. I just bought a 1 UZ-FE VVTI engine and will do an engine conversion.
Any people here that have done this before? any tip is welcome.

I also take of the 40" tires and put new 49.5" Irocks under the car. Car goes to the shop for making the body nice and wide so the tires fit perfect.
