Gday everyone,
Just thought I would introduce myself after seeing this place mentioned a few times over on 4wd action, my name is Ben and i have been lurking here for a few weeks gathering up all the great ideas and accessories for the new truck, while I patiently await her arrival. It is spot on 2 months since I paid the deposit, the dealer has been in recievership, the sales manager was a lying son of b**** and no longer works there, it has not been a good buying experience at all. I pick the ute up tommorrow morning, so the whole mess is finally over. One of the reasons i signed for a Triton (apart from the great vehicle) was the easy to deal with people at mitsubishi, (that obviously was short lived) all the other dealers, Mazda, Ford, Toyota were tools and were not interested in talking price until I was signing a contract. I know when I drive out of the yard, it will be all forgotten and I will be in love with the new rig.
I went for the GLX dual cab, with alloy tray, because it is my work vehicle thru the week, i need more room than a tub back and like the easy to clean vinyl floors. It is black (another for team black isnt it) It is an auto (another dealer stuff up) which doesnt bother me all that much, at least the mrs can drive it, i did order the factory diff lock but you guessed it (dealer stuff up).
I will be getting a steel bar, side rails and steps, snorkle, flares and spotties fitted in a few weeks by TJM, and am looking at a set of wheels and decent rubber atm. So i will post up some pics after this is done, as everyone knows what a stock Triton looks like.
Cheers guys, hope to get alot more use out of this wonderful site.
BTW- Why are there so many hilux user names and avatars on here, are they just looking at what they are missing out on???
