Hey Buzzy.. Hey mate is there any chance that you'd be able to get the exact measurments for your custom dual battery setup. If you could that'd be great and I could drw up a plan and give it to a welder to get done straight up.. Cheer mate!!

Hi Alan, The canopy is great, very practical. Only downside I have found is if you have to lock it you have to use a small key and lock both handles which is a bit fiddely. Bit of a pain but a small price to pay for such a quality bit of gear.

Hi Buzzy I am looking at a canopy. Can you comment on your ARB one?

apparently there is new suspention out, that has eliminated this problem, they put an extra leaf in the rear. i am also getting a lift

buzzy

Comment:

The bash plates are 3mm 304 stainless. Drgs are not complete yet. I have got the vibration. Had 3deg cator wedges put in but that didnt do to much. Tyres are 265/70's. To small now with the lift. I had them fitted the day I picked the car up so I am unsure about the fuel ecconamy thing. Same with low range

JDR182

Comment:

Just wondering what size tyres you have and how does it affect fuel and low range gearing?

JDR182

Comment:

Just wondering what your suspension is like, have you have any virbration problems, if yes how did you over come these problems? As I am looking a lifting my ute but have heard about a lot of problems.

Comment:

Comment:

Thats cool, It took a while to work out if it was me, or the pic was reversed etc.

Buzzy

Comment:

Yeh mate that was the trial one, pressed the wrong side. Was Ok but cause it didnt quite fit anyway.

Comment:

did you stuff up the logo on the first one? in one of your photos its reversed.

Buzzy

Comment:

I will look into doing some but I have to change the drg's a bit and try and work out cost's etc. I would imagine around the 350 mark. Bit dearer than the TJM ones but these are stainless not mild steel & they also have the logo. Will look into it and let ya know.

Hey there where did you get your front bash plate from? what did it cost? I should have the spacers fitted tomorrow to hopefully fix the shakes as i tried to fit them today but my bolt holes where a little tight. Cheers

Comment:

Ah yeh GLXR-Silver, Dobo's are great. Havnt sagged much at all but I have only done a few thousand k's since they went on so time will tell.

Wallace. Bought the dashmat from Pep's and had a mate of mine do the logo.

Buzzy

Comment:

GLX-RSilver. I made the rear bar. In the process of doing a new one and sliders to match.

Comment:

These new Tritons look awesome in black pearl, where did you get the dash mat. Was the first to get a black GLX-R in ACT and now they are everywhere and ubfortunately sourcing quality accessories for my ute means a trip interstate ( Sydney ) everytime I want to enhance the ute.

Hey mate, cheers for help with battery tray. I will build mine this weekend. Just got a query as to which model battery you used, what the Ah rating? Just trying to see which size will fit in. Thanks

gowie77

Comment:

Thats absolutely awesome. Looking forward to seeing the dual battery trays as I am going to do it soon. Which sort of battery did you buy as your auxillary? I assume your a little restricted due to the space?

Buzzy

Comment:

Probably about 50-51K including everything in my modifications list up there ^^^

What can I say .. you rig is just awesome! Wish I have money to spend on mine .

Buzzy

Comment:

I connect them when the head unit was sitting out. Then it was pretty hard to push it back in with all the cables hanging out the back.

Buzzy

Comment:

Pretty much mate. Only problem I han was fitting the RCA leads for my Amp and the IPOD adaptor cable to the back.

Eelesy

Comment:

nice rig buzzy, when u changed the head unit, ive heard ppl say its real easy, just push a few pins down the holes???

Buzzy

Comment:

No, But my bluetooth connection still works fine. I have my Ipod in my glove box which is connected straight to the head unit. It all works well

Legga

Comment:

with your alpine head unit, does the screen at the top still show radio station, cd track etc....? i have not replaced my red unit for that reason.

Buzzy

Comment:

Not yet, the tow bar hits before anything else. It sits higher than the ARB bar.
