You sure you made the right choice there, mate? Seems in every photo it has its bonnet up.

Welcome to the forum.

[deermaster]

You shouldn't be sorry with that one, its the same as mine a 2007 3.2litre. Mine has still only got 80000plu a few more Ks and loving mine too.

[triton_guru]

Yeah same as mine aswell even the same colour except mines sitting at 212,000kms enjoy the car mate they are awesome

[Zav78]

Welcome to the forum Mate. Enjoy your new car!

[Holstein]

Thanks guys mine is sitting at 182,000 and runs beautiful.

Just need to start modding it to suit my family needs and will be ready to hit the bush/beach.

Being a 3.2 she's just run in ;P best advice i can give ya is get a real fine secondary fuel filter

[Cowboy Dave]

x2 on the filter. 2 micron is the go. But also get some bash plates if it hasn't already had an upgrade. The stock ones are a little thinner than a catfood tin and offer less protection that the catfood would.

Picked up two of these today

Hercules 8 tonne snatch straps for the grand total of $49 delivered and items arrived overnight

They have some good bargains atm http://www.4wdsupacentre.com.au

Also contemplating getting one of these awnings 2.5m x3m

[Holstein]

Ordered my awning the other day 2.5m x 3m which I should get close to Christmas
And since I ordered that I figured why not go and layby a set of these while they were on special

Next on the list is a set of lights which will be in January sometime

[Joel]

You will have to let us all know how the new awning goes. I just ordered one from wolf 4x4 (forum sponsor) on the weekend. Paid 183 plus delivery for a 2.5X3 metre and comes with led lighting. Keen to see the difference between them.

[Holstein]

We'll figured I would put a pic up of my old rig

92 paj swb
2" lift
2" body lift
32 inch maxxis bighorns
Sunriser rims
Unicom uhf
Roof cage
Hi-lift jack
Custom towbar
Narva driving lights

Was a pig to drive but loved it




Should be an update on the triton this week mods are starting to role in slowly.

[Holstein]

So finally started to mod the triton.

First mod was a set of Narva ultimate 175 driving lights, I used their wiring kit as we'll and all I can say I'm a complete noob at wiring and this kit is great only took me 1 1/2 hours to completely install and I was taking it slow. Lol you can pick up the kit from supercheap for $99 or on eBay for a bit cheaper comes with everything you need and a the best bit of it is it has a joiner pre wired that fits straight between your headlight and driving lights, complete plug and play.

Cheers Holstein

Next mod has arrived : reverse camera (Australia Post has them on clearance for $29.99 supercheap $79.99

[Holstein]

Got my Chrissy present from the missus a set of pro rack whisper HD roof racks installed them already lol

[Holstein]

Fitted my kings 2.5m x 3m awning yesterday glad it's blacks suits the car much better.



Bash plates are hopefully getting ordered this week,

The truck is finally starting to take shape, now to just work out next having trouble working out what's next either 32" mud tires or 2" lift, I'm leaning towards tires but not sure so input you guys have will be much appreciated.

Cheers Holstein

[trouble]

Tires and last is lift

[triton_guru]

I went lift first but I dont think it really matters mate its all going to happen eventually, liking good reminds me of what mine use to look like when I first got it

[Holstein]

Installed my uhf today picked it up in the repco catalogue for $149







Cheers Brad

[Holstein]

Well finally got to take the truck out and have some fun,went and did some tracks around the old morissett criminally insane asylum ( I tried to leave my missus there but she refused to stay) it was shut down in the 1970s its well worth a look if your in the area









Cheers Holstein

[Sootie]

The hospital is literally 2 min from my house, few not bad tracks out there.

I used to have a swb paj too

[Holstein]

New 3mm mild steel bash plates arrived today got them from Boo's bash plates online fitted perfectly and should add a little more protection.

Cheers Holstein

[Holstein]
