Not so much something I did to my triton but picked up some camp lights! Couldn't find a suitable thread on tapatalk so here it is:
10w 12v LED Flood light. $17.50 off eBay free delivery!

Also got some led strip lights for when the canopy arrives!
Stay tuned for some more very near camping mods ;)

Trying to get my carling switch lights to work, anyone know what I need to get this to work with dash lights an then activate the main light when I turn it.

I have a wire from a dash light but can't seem to work it out properly.

I have lost the wiring diagram for the switch Arb gave to me

Alright soooo.... Some new mods/camping additions

New mount for the catch can, used to be mounted to the air box, was only temp anyway. Started to get annoying not being able to open the top of the airbox properly so I made this:

So when moving the catch can found out I had over tightened the hose clamp, got in touch with western filters and they rushed me a new hose reducer! Free of charge! Absolutr legend! Highly recommend them!!!

It's the white joiner! Not the old black style.
(will add some pics)
Purchased some led flood lights! Fantastic!!!!

Ultragauge was ordered and arrived over a week ago, spent today trying to setup all the gauges erc!!!

Got my new chainsaw and fiskas axe!!! Work a treat!

Still waiting on my carryboy Canopy and chainsaw case at the moment!

Have some draws sorted for when my Cannopy arrives with thanks to Ratstriton!!!

Also waiting on my ark Powerbox to arrive as well!!!!

Latest update on my build:

Carryboy canopy has finally arrived! Very happy with the canopy and tradie rack! Not happy with the caulking and the time taken to receive it or the lack of contact/info along the way. Still waiting on the weather shields :roll: .... So when it goes back for the shields I'll get them to re-caulk (they already know they have to anyway)

The day I had to take my tri to get the canopy fitted, it wouldn't start!!! So after a jump start I got there and went in search of a new battery... Went for the century 760cca, N70ZZL4WD (I think that what it is)
Click to view larger picture
Once the canopy was fitted, went over to visit Ratstriton to pick up my new (used) draws! After some minor modifications to them they then fitted with the tub liner!

Have been working on them since I got them, tonight I finally got the draws re contact adhesed, and three of the 4 bolts fitted, just need to replace one of the nutserts.

I'm going to infill the rear sections with ply and make some removable boxes for the sides of draws, with power on anderson plugs.
So still a little bit to go :roll:

Man, hope mine look half as good. Will check out those nutserts. And good call on drilling before putting the next layer on... Or drill from bottom I guess.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink...
