Dan.Batto's Build

[dan.batto]

haha Rats nar mate i just do it an then come home an see if she notices,
She mentioned the rear bar last night haha, took couple days!

So now for whats new....
Rear bar went on Friday week ago, fairly easy fit! except drilling those damn holes!

On board ARB compressor - air locker compatible - goes in today. When i got these 2 i also got the ARB e-z tyre deflator, they did a fairly good deal for me! (They should im there enough )

Some photos that i promised ages ago: *Click for full images*
As the tri stands now




After the most recent trip to wombats, had some clutch issues mate showed me how change the fluid, this is what we got out after bleeding the line!



Rear Bar


OEM Fog lights fitted quite easily, I still have to turn them around the right way but didn't have time when I put them in temporarily, Will do when i do the winch install!




Here's some of the Bullbar install,








Cutting the bumper - very nervous and shaky haha














The final product!




Enjoy!

Hey Dan i just noticed, they always say a picture tells a thousand words, you live right next door to my mate.

[dan.batto]

Haha who is that? Jarrod? You will have to cone say g'day next time your about!

[ratstriton]

Look's good mate.
I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention the black rubbers that fill he three holes above the bar that some one may have given you.

[dan.batto]

Totally forgot i put them on they fit that well!!!

** big thanks to Ratstriton for the black rubbers above the rear bar** they fill the holes nicely, and came at an extremely generous price thanks rats!!!

[Mattstruck]

I want me a set of those black rubbers. Where do they come from Dan... Rats?? Rats??

[dan.batto]

Haha rats gave me his from his tub!!! What a champ! I believe he got them from a dealer who just took them off another car haha

[Mooons]

I got mine from SEJ
Thanks again SEJ

[Mattstruck]

Rats? SEJ? Where the hell can I get mine from??

I know.... High Country trip

[dan.batto]

Haha keep ur eyes peeled for a wrecking triton without rear step (not sure what models that is) or the dealers tend to get this stuff!

[ratstriton]

When I got mine I asked the salesman about them he grab a screw driver went to the closet glx and grabbed the pair for me. So you can try the spares department at Mitsubishi or do a midnight stroll through the dealership with a screw driver.

[Mattstruck]

Yep they are off the base models. Cheapies, inferior models like GLR's etc.

[ratstriton]

[Mattstruck]

Where did you get it Dan? Ebay?

[ratstriton]

I think he got of here, there was a post for a longranger for sale in general discussion before the post got locked.

[dan.batto]

Yup that right snapped it up off here, going to pick it up next weekend, then to install it :s

[Snooozy]

If you go up on Saturday you are welcome to drop in for a coffee on the way up/back if you like, would be a good 1/2 way point. (Kilmore)
I will be at the 4x4 show on Sun.
If you want to just drop me a PM for the address

[Steane]

Wow, big weekend for you as well Dan The Tri is looking really good, it's a credit to you.

I've never thought to bleed the clutch...I had a muddy wombat hole experience a couple of years ago and had a clutch that was a bit ordinary for a month or two. Might add a clutch bleed to the list of things to do before the HC extravaganza.

[Snooozy]

The only problem I got is hiding it from mum haha!! Soz mate couldn't let it go! Such a good deal!

If you bolt it up underneath she will never know
& no probs with you getting the tank either, first in first served
