Oh yeah good idea mate I have a spare bit of ally,i will give it a go cheers :D


G'day Dunga,

Love your truck mate. You've got me thinking of taking my rear bar off to colour match, looks great.

Is the noise coming from your front or rear roof rack?

I'm looking at the ARB canopy rack at the moment.

Been playing with a solar idea for a while and this is the end result,charges through the mesh no worries when empty and when she is all loaded up I can slide it out to the side

That is genius, the only thing that would make it better is if it was able to tilt at the end of the runners.

You're a machine Dunga !
Looks great. If your runners are the type that you just depress to slide the rails all the way out then you would just remove the panel & rest it against something in the direction needed.
What's next for you ? respray to red :lol: :lol:

A mate hit a horse up the cape last month and his triton was written off so he salvaged his chip and gave it to me to try,went for a run with the van for 4 days over the weekend and im very impressed with it,i was averaging 12.5-13.5 with my Jayco Eagle and am down to 9.5-10 around town huge difference to what I was getting previously,no dramas with engine lights ect so I moght slip him some kanga for it I rekon

There were one or two early examples though of members who asked for black ones for stealth reasons - they got blue ones painted black... Note that there are also some aqua looking ones from yet another manufacturer which is what I ended up with on mine.


Ultimate are doing red ones for me when I get it fitted in 3 weeks time, can't wait.
