ML GLX Dualcab tourer buildup.

Bought myself an 08 GLX triton 2 weeks ago and it had a couple of bits and pieces already but the first thing i did was fit up a UHF radio - a Uniden UHN7760NB remote head jobbie. Mounted the unit up under the dash hidden away.

Then came the 265/75R16 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 4 rib tyres on 16x8 sunnies (cruiser offset). Those motherfunkers were hanging out like nobodies business.

Drove from the tyre shop in Osborne Park like that back to my house in Greenmount LOL. Via bunnings for some flares. Some might call it garden edging and well, they'd be 100% right but god damn the car looks good now:

Going for its first wheel tomorrow, up to Lancelin for the day and then an easy run through the Powerlines on Sunday.

So to sum up:

08 GLX Dualcab
3.2 Turbo Diesel/Manual.
Sony Xplod head unit (that ive had for 5 years and transferred to every car in that time).
Uniden UH7760 UHF radio
Longrange tank
Flexiglass canopy
Ironman front bar and Nite Stalker spots (1 spread/1 spot)

Plans for Ultimate suspension next month and some sliders/side steps. After that not much will change until closer to the big trip to Tasmania at the end of the year where ill look at a winch, water tank and dual batteries.
ML GLX diesel.
Ironman bar, Flexiglass canopy, 265 Mickey T's, Ultimate suspension, Nite Stalker spotties, reverse lights, drawers, dual batteries, fridge slide & 60L Waeco, did3.2 seat spacers and a lot of right boot in the soft stuff.

Your truck looks tough. Like the offset on the wheels.
