Painted and fitted Baysie's (well they are mine and bought from.....you know what I mean :roll:

) Bash plates today 8-)

I used two longer bolts in the middle where both plates overlap to make sure they stay on
They are a solid unit, I havent hit anything with the stock ones apart from long grass :lol:

and they were out of shape :shock:

Very pleased with the decision to get the good ones.

:lol:

Wife comes out while fitting and says 'can you get some of them for mine I keep hitting things with the plastic front' ..... :shock:

its a Mazda 3 :shock:

OK I said we will have to get some made up :lol:

Have added second battery today to run the fridge I bought.

I spent most of the day running wires here and there :roll:

After several hours it is completed and working like a charm.
I tested all the voltages and the solenoid switching on/off, all good

The redarc isolater

Wiring from the tub via the fuel filler neck and one wire to the engine bay to the Redarc and another into the back seat for a plug so when I am working the fridge will sit on the back seat where I can reach it :lol:

The Battery is a 100ah marine type, apparently it is in between a normal cranking battery and a deep cycle one and will charge relatively quickly

Wires going out of the tub via the fuel filler neck....

EvaKool 60 litre fridge/freezer, it can be either or both at same time

Fridge doesnt have a readout but they threw in this remote one.......

The other half of the remote readout, which works quite well in the front

Gee you have been busy Craig

by **Homer** on Sat Nov 27, 2010 7:33 am

Mate I've had bad/slow internet connections for a while so couldn't open your thread with all the pics.

The missus must be a Triton widow with all the work you've done on the beast

Looks good mate....throw up a couple of complete pics after it rains next time and she's clean :lol:

that's why Snowflake is white...we seem to have the same car care/washing regime :roll:

mmmmmmm 1.8C....perfect beer temp

Some good info from Slim on the headers....you game?

by **mattz** on Sat Nov 27, 2010 8:53 am

Just had another look at the pics.
Is that the instructions in the tub?
Have problems did we? :lol:

by **salt36** on Sat Nov 27, 2010 5:49 pm

Where to start.... Yes the instructions are for the wiring of the redarc isolater

Had to make sure I got the correct cable on each terminal and the order to connect it

Homer I dont bother washing the triton because the next day going to work it gets filthy again :cry:

I do drive through every puddle when it rains though, cleans underneath brilliantly.....

Missus is fine with me setting up the ute, we will all benefit when the camping trips are more organised and the food stays cold !

And of course the beers :lol:

When i hooked the fridge to the second battery it dropped to -2C, obviously gets more grunt than the cigarette lighter plug........

Headers, naaah, can't find anyone to retune the ECU as it is without going to those extremes plus i need a reliable ute to drive to work each day :roll:

Will have a couple more pics probably Monday of the finished battery box I was making today. Going to Melbourne tomorow which reminds me better make some phone calls :oops:

Very quiet on the road and softer than the stockies.....

Got a great deal, Traded my unused spare and paid $900 for five tyres 8-)
