The Pear's New Rig (White GLX)

Postby carn_the_pear on Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:55 pm

Hey everyone... Pear here.

Just thought I would show you my new 2014 GLX I'll be picking up either tomorrow or Thursday.
Actually went into the dealership to get my missus an 09 Outlander. But while I was waiting for her, me and the dealer got talking about the new tritons. And at 31,990 I just couldn't say no. And after buying the missus a car it was pretty easy to persuade her into it as well ;).

Got a few extras on top including tub liner, sports bar, torneau cover and tinted windows. And the dealer threw in a free towbar and floor mats :). All up it came to $34,000 even. Which I think is about right. Well I'm happy anyway.

About me, I'm a carpenter by trade specializing in Commercial Aluminium installations. 22 years old next month. No kids, but looking at getting married April next year.

Anyway enough of all that... Here's some pics. (click the pic to view normal)

Future plans:
I have already booked it in to get some Rhino Roof Racks from ARB. $710 Fitted (track system type).
I also have a mate at work who used to own a new triton by changed to a van. He has some real good wheels and off road tyres I'll be buying off him when I have some cash.
Eventually I'll get a Safari Snorkel, Bullbar, Double din player with reverse camera and we'll see where we go from there.

Enjoy!

So I've had the Triton for a week and I am absolutely in love with the thing. Looks like I'll get about 700-750 out of a tank (right now it's sitting just above half with about 320 on the trip metre). And that includes having a half hour stint in a bit of mud when we had the big wet on Friday. Made sure I gave it a good clean after getting a lot of mud underneath. Came up looking a treat too :).

Will post a few pics soon.
Also should be getting the roof racks next week :).
