Really cbf at the moment posting bit by bit, but here it is at it stands now! Not very many photos as of yet, but here are the 2 most recent. It currently has a 2" Iron Man lift with 32" x 10.5" Kuhmo MT's on Speedy 16's, Iron Man snorkel and Xrox Bullbar.

Before Xrox:

Good to see you on here too. We will have to go for a drive some time. What do you want the body lift for??? I wouldnt rate it, unless you have plans for 35's. It looks pretty high the other day at OL. You would get away with 33 with lift you already got.

So here's a quick dodgy photo of the 4 spotties I installed yesterday, finally! Figured how to turn night time into day time with the flick of a switch! Will get better/ more photos up this weekend! 8-)

Sorry to hijack this thread... Bally where is it listed the OL xrox/light force deal? You are the second person I have heard say this and I have the xrox bar on order to be installed in two weeks but I have seen nothing of the special!!!

Haha thanks everyone, and yeah if I have the brackets why not use them? :mrgreen: Will have to see how my wiring holds up over the next few drives, hopefully I did a professional enough job 8-)

And to tukadafoonday, I haven't heard of the combo XROX/ Lightforce deal either. Although, I do live in Darwin and we tend to get left of out most of the cool shit haha.

On another note, the next mod on my mighty Triton will hopefully be a set of rear lockers, then a couple of things on the aesthetics side, then onto the front locker.

But knowing me, I'll find something that looks awesome and spend my money on it haha, but thanks for all the postive feedback fellas, might chuck a couple of better quality photos up this w/e if I go for a wheel :D

Goochie - if you think Darwin is bad you should live in Canberra!!!! We don't even get a mention in the national weather half the time!

Righto so I thought I'd do a little bit of cosmetic work this weekend, seeing that the nong who owned before me blasted off half the paint under the wheel wells, a respray was in order. Seeing that I'm no professional painter, thought it came out priddy well! ;)

Click to view larger picture
You can see where the paint is gone in the well. (Also when I was testing what two Lightforce 240's looked like haha)

Click to view larger picture
Took the wheels to get full access underneath, wish it would stay this big! After I'd already painted one side.

Click to view larger picture
Cleaned it all with degreaser then metho, let that dry, then a fresh coat!

Click to view larger picture
Little flaps to keep the mud out of the XROX, with it on there seemed like a lot of space for crap to get in. Hopefully there work out alright.

Click to view larger picture
Then the back! Obviously all 4 wells were done haha.

All done, very pleased 8-)

Hey Goochie, Any idea what offset those rims are? Looking to put 32s on my single cab without doing the lift. Been told they'll fit with the right offset.

Cheers

Hey mate, too be honest I am not sure of what the offset there is, if any. But with these rims and tyres, with the 2" lift, the wheels scrubbed at full lock on the plastic mud flap things haha, ended up tearing them off in the end. But I'm pretty sure with the right offset it'll come priddy close. Sorry for the shit answer! haha

Hey mate, did you bolt a plate between the xrox and the front bash plate mounts at all?

You need to do one...I haven't yet :roll:
There is a big gap there and I found on a really muddy trip that it completely coated my radiator. As soon as there was a long low range hill it overheated big time.
Lucky we had plenty of water to pour over the front of the radiator to cool it enough (keep engine running) to get to a creek where I drove into it and then we splashed water onto the radiator while revving it to pull some of the mud through.

Hey mate, I noticed thats my mates MK came with a steel looking plate when he got his XROX on, I was hoping mine came with that too but apparently not... But now that you mention that problem, sounds like I'll have to do something about that this weekend, test out my fabrication skills that I don't have haha

G'day Goochie welcome to the "white" single cab brigade :lol: Nice looking unit you got there, have'nt seen too many tub back singles. Reckon she'll look awsome with the steps, full length I imagine :?: What seating do you have buckets or split bench :?: Mine is a split bench and the passenger seat is crap to sit in for any more than a couple of hours :cry:
