Cal's Challenger build up

Postby killa on Thu Nov 17, 2011 4:23 pm

Well I haven't officially taken delivery of the new Challenger but it's buildup has already started so I thought I'd throw up a couple of pics.

So far, we have the ARB Deluxe Combo bar and Safari Snorkle.

Well that's a lightning start :lol: I wonder how it will look in the long run.

Looking good so far mate 8-) What other plans are there for your Triton wagon :?:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything important, it's too late to stop reading it.

LOL There are a few things that will happen hard and fast but the rest will take a while :roll:

Al,
Ultimate lift, spot lights, cargo barrier, tint, bluetooth and a towbar are the next things.

There is also a bash plate being made up as we speak thanks to Buzzy and his drawing: Click Here
Had to modify it a bit though, didn't like the GLXR logo so I've got some evenly spaced round holes happening for mine.

I could start a list but it would always change..
Cheers,

Cal

Nice, sensible colour too. 8-)


When we got our MN the PB wasn't available. Much nicer vehicle..... Coil rear, disc etc.

Be a fair weapon once you done too. 8-)

Sub $40k starting point? Pretty good really considering the opposition starts a lot higher.

Model variants are:
Challenger (mine)
Challenger LS
Challenger XLS

Love to but it's a work bus too so a set of 265/75's may be the extreme it gets to for a bit ;)

Well we went for a little look see at the dealer this morning :D .
Still has a bit to do but it has the suspension in and a tow bar on the back. The tow bar hangs a bit lower than I'd like but I think it will be ok.

Sorry I couldn't do the comparison before and after shots very well. Dodgy phone pics again..

I didn't want to spoil the moment Dan :lol:

I did wonder about the accessories fitment by the dealer though :? :shock: .

I got some pretty good quotes from around the traps, over the internet and a few other places, took the whole lot to the dealer and told him to add the totals to the vehicle price. It's not at dealer add on prices :D

Gauntlet thrown... :twisted:

Pretty sure I spotted yours out the front of ARB on Ingham Road. I took notice because you don't see many Mitsubishi's there. :evil: Our office is only round the corner.

Looking good though and with the coil rear end should articulate better than the Triton.

That would have been it, I haven't seen another white one on the street in town yet. Plenty of Blue and Maroon though.
