[motoz]

Looks pretty schweeet !!!

I do like black though after owning a black car ONCE I swore never again... lol

Enjoy the new rig mate.

[JamoGLXR]

i reckon they look awesome clean and better when coated in mud... but the day to day stuff isnt much chop

[outmen]

Thanks motoz and jamo, misses always wanted a black truck So was her colour pick gotta keep them happy
I know it will be a pain in arse to keep clean, but i plan on hitting the beaches this weekend and getting some sand in it's gills.

[Homer]

Looks nice mate, bet you're happy....

Remember to turn of the ASC before you go on the beach apparently have to do it every re-start too...

[JamoGLXR]

Spot on Homer.. Hey you ML guys are alright

[outmen]

Thanks Homer, [HAPPY AS] re: asc off.. i did read that in the forum some where.
So any sand work hills etc it will be better with asc off, but tc will still be on correct?
Cheers for your feedback.

[Homer]

Yes ASC causes power issues in sand or mud apparently and needs to be turned off. The TC will stay on....

I think of ML's and MN's exactly the same way Jamo they're both oily, dirty, smelly, rattly, smoky.....

[JamoGLXR]

correct. no choice about Traction control its on all the time,
you can disable it by removing the relays under the bonnet but you disable ABS aswell... not something id be doing in a hurry, much rather get me some Lockers

[reeldreamer]

Very nice lookig truck mate and the best colour also! I will be doing another run of stainless bash plates as soon as I despatch the current run. Let me know if your keen!

[outmen]

Looking back through the forum's i see a lot of people have spaced the front seats, didn't the ml's have the seat height adjuster like the mn's
Thanks reeldreamer yeah mate will be interested in the plates, could u pm me with roughly how much they were
Cheers Outs

[Homer]

No the spacers are to add tilt to the seat to give better support under the thighs...the seats are flat and if your legs are a little longer than some your thighs don't touch the seat at all.

After driving the triton for a week or so i have noticed how much steering input is needed to turn a 90 deg
corner, more than a full turn of the wheel is this the norm?
Thanks Outmen

Thanks Outmen

I think so... My MN is the same a little on the heavy side.

[Mattstruck]

Yep thats right but I dont even notice it anymore.

The last 1/2 turn or so works wonders when doing a U turn

[outmen]

Thanks lads it will just take a bit of getting used 2 by the looks, as the the other car i have is a ve Calais v so they are very different.

[outmen]

Bash plates are on [thanks reel]

Just wondering about the plastic guard that bolts to the bottom of the radiator it
hits on the front plate,it is soft plastic and bends back is that a problem? Or do
people cut it of ?
Some door handle guards to keep the wifes claws away from the paint, they fit well
and at $28 a set from fleabay their pretty cheap.

Cheers Outmen
