Hi from new triton owner

[mick red]

Hi all, will be picking up new ML Black GLX-R auto next week. Was going to wait for MN but at $4,500 differance to get the same options and being impatient went for the last ML dealer had in stock. Plan on some lightfore 240 driving lights,EGR block and turn up the boost a little. In future a DP chip or ECU reflash would be nice.

I have read the stories on the poor standard suspension and because the car will see a fair amount of time on the gravel i was wondering if just up gradeing the shocks is enough or do you need to do the springs as well. I will go to 265 tyres when the originals are worn out but dont really need any lift.

This site has been a great resource already thanks Mick

Welcome Mick - shocks are a good start but if you have the folding gear, why not upgrade the springs at the same time...???

Also, look into trading your stock tyres from new. I got $114 for the spare off mine yesterday. Makes the 265's considerably cheaper and you don't have to use the stock crap.

I'd do front springs for sure. Rears can maybe wait if not towing a lot as doesn't affect the handling that badly (do rear shocks though). I just have 'helper' springs on my std leafs and they're OK so far.

You can change rear springs later easy enough.

love it! never test drove the auto but glad i got it. sits at 2500 at 120klms and seems like it wants another gear, by going to the 265s does it change the revs much? looking forward to the morning when i can start on the EGR and boost mod.

When i picked up the car the dealer just got in 3 MNs,2 manual GLX-R,1 auto GLX. I really liked the look of them.Was a bit disapointed one reason that i went ML was dealer thought the new ones were 2-3 weeks away and when i questioned him about it he said the computer was still telling him they were on the ship??

After driving mine though could not be happier with it. Bring on the mods.
