Duffy's 09 ML build

Postby Duffman129 on Sat Mar 19, 2016 8:29 pm

So i thought I'd throw up a build thread {will be a slow one}. This is my first 4x4.

Here is my 2009 ML Triton GLXR a few days after I bought it, all stock except the nice steel tray, with wooden bed.

First u I ordered an Ironman Deluxe Commercial bullbar and an Ironman 2inch lift kit.

Fitted this in my in laws driveway with the help of some friends. This is how it sat for a few months then along came Christmas and birthday where I got a lightbar, a Narva wiring harness and a new Tool box {as well as a tyre deflator, snatch strap and equaliser strap and tow hitch block}

Haven't got photo's of the bar yet, too lazy.

Also have NTN stickers on the tray as you can see from this pic of me stuck in a hole last weekend.

Note my amazing shovel mounts {ocky straps}

Have a couple of work lights to wire up as reverse/camp lights, a UHF and some extended braided brake lines to fit. When i get around to it.

Next purchase will be some better bash plates as i did some damage to the factory ones last weekend, and some new tyres.

Heres some more pics from Lockyer State Forest from last weekend out with a couple of Patrols.

Thanks guys, work in progress. It kept up, and outshone one of em, but I think this may have been more to do with driver then ability hahaha. Had a great day out and did a few tracks I wasn't sure I would get up but the Triton ate it up. Mashed up the factory bash plates however, so will need to replace them soon. Might need to invest in some new tyres soon too.
Cheers, Dan

So got a GME TX3345 from my father in law for nothing/a bottle of Jack, as he upgraded to the new TX3350. Installed it today, easy job.

Had a good weekend up at Kenilworth, Charlie Moreland camping ground was booked out for the weekend.

Had a couple of trips through Imbil with family and friends, only got a few flicks.



Watching a few people do the steep track.

I got stuck about where the dust is getting thrown up in this pic. Was steep and slippery. Ended up popping out of the ruts and not getting any traction, went a bit sideways and needed to be pulled the rest of the way up before we went to sideways and rolled down the hill.

Had a few issues with the UHF not getting much range and only being able to hear one side of a conversation. Will be looking at it tomorrow but might be an issue with the connections for the aerial.
