Great looking truck Blue!

I see you have listed that you have 4 rib's in 265/75

I thought they only come in 265/70 17?

If they do i'll be going the 75

[bluey0_0]

sorry guys, finally left the parents nest and moving out is seriously a joke. if you havnt done it already, dont do it till ur old and rich haha.

hey mate, you are probably right with the 265/70's my mistake haha.

yea the winch went on but it needed major surgery. the control thingy had to be moved into behind the grille.

the bash plate has been put on by mitsi, but its a piece of poop. so will need one upgraded soon as ive bashed up the bash plate prestige:)

thanks guys! its coming across quite nicely:)

heading out on sun??

thanks andy:)


fridge i went out today to logan and did the hard tracks with about 20 poeple. (vids will be on youtube soon) and the triton copped an absoulte floggin. definately gunna be hitting up the dealer for a rear locker.

the mn trays are too f'ing long and now my cab is damaged badly due to the tub pushing into my cab.

underside of the truck got a good grinding, and slid down a massive rock face into a tree.(luckily the xrox took the damage)

but other than that im all fourbyd out for this weekend but next weekend im keen as mootard to go glassy!:D

quite a few things added since last post.
Heres an update!

[Joe]

Looking good mate.

[fez]

Those aren't factory tin foil bash plates are they? Look considerably worse for wear!

[bluey0_0]

they sure are.

[bluey0_0]

whether its the 2.5mm "tin can mitsubishi special" or the 3mm aftermarket sheet metal... the force that this car has hit things to make those tiny dents, it wouldnt matter with that extra tiny bit of thickness. so im pretty confident in what ive got.

[Custom Offroad]

I can guarantee the 3mm folded plates (not sheet metal) are considerably stronger then the 1.6mm sheet metal supplied standard 3.5kg vs 13kg. I have mitsubishi dealers buying plates off me. Just wait till you destroy the diff actuator sensor......you will be on here asking why your 4wd light keeps flashing when you engage 4wd.

Great looking ute though!
