Back in Black -

Gents well i have been abit slack in getting up some pics of my new Truck.

Click to view larger picture

Basically my suspension was swapped from my previous Triton you can see in this photo that the dobinson constant load front coils have sagged somewhat. (they are the new upgraded ones)running on tough dog struts that i will replace as they are and this is my opiniom P.O.S!!!!


ARB delux Bar
ARB side bars
ARB rear Bar
Safari Snorkel
Bridgestone D694s - 265/75/16
Uniden Remote face UHF - GME 5db antenna
Rear Diff Lock
Dual Battery
220 Roo Lights.

Future mods:

Next week she will have a set of Black Sunnies on it
One of those youbeaut chips that Darryn just got hold of
Ironman 9500kg winch
Canopy ( i have bought it down to a choice between ARB smooth finish or Ultimate - i think the ultimate suits the Tritons lines just that little bit more and the ARB is a bit to sqaure looking) Once again my opinion. Once canopy is on i will have a 60lt water tank and electric pump against the back wall of the tray and my fridge on a slide.
ARB half cage over the cab roof - with some spotties across the front of the cage.
3 inch exhaust.

Then im pretty much decked for what i need it for.

Patto if you need a good set of constant load front shocks let me know, I have a spare set sitting in the shed. Ride height isn't too bad for the front not as you decsribed before...........see how you go over the next month or so . If not the offer is still open..

Looking good patto..............black is the best colour for sure. :D It sure will be a weapon of a ute when you get it all finished, not far to go by the sounds of it.


On another note with regards to the sign in the background, do you know how much i can hire a senoir citizen for........could be a cheap source of labour. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything important, it's too late to stop reading it.

Patto, do you reckon it will be too much black (if there is such a thing) if you have black wheels on a black truck?? I was thinking along the same lines when i got mine, but couldnt convince myself that it would look ok, so went with the alloys to break it up a bit.

Yeh the colour???? 3200km on the clock and she is already covered in pin stripes... This afternoon im actually going to price up having the side of the car clear vinyled... Im not usually one for caring about paint, but i figured the longer i can pro-long it the less the wife will be on my back.....
