I bought a hilbilly camp oven many moons ago, must say very nice not carrying a 30kg cast iron camp oven any more, it even has a vege ring so that you vegies are up out of the way of that crackling pork.....

[DocBassett]

without a doubt, my HID upgrades.

[GLR2012]

From a place down in Melbourne online store ( shipped from Melbourne ) 6000k hid 55watt ballast. Postage handling etc etc $213 to Brisbane. About at least a 400% improvement. Also a KN filter.

$80 bucks - the water tank turned up today

Thinking of installing it like this ... but still early days ...

[Duck]

Hi Quinny how many ltrs is it ? Might be good to carry fuel in Does it sit lower than the top of the tub ?

[viking shippy]

Might fitt under the spare

[Quinny]

Quack ... I don't think it's rated for fuel ... 59 litres ... No .. a little higher than the tub .. canopy owners only

[ag9111]

I have a couple of those under my trailer.
The drain/fill holes are not real positioned for side mounting though

what are your plans?

again higher than the tub (on a ML) and I wish for larger capacity, but the idea and weight distribution is good.

[dan.batto]

I just bought one of them $215, just working out how to mount it!

I'm thinking maybe install it vertically and run a hose to the bottom ?

The guys talking about a diesel tank in the tub, I was looking at fleximake bladders, make custom shapes, inlets, outlets for less than $300 for a 100lt tank..

Anyway the mods that I have got,
Those bright reverse lights mentioned somewhere in this thread (but I got mine for $11)
Led Interior light.

But the one I get the most use out of is a switch next to my cigarette lighter with one of those aircraft toggle covers on it. Looks cool, and switches the power for ciggie lighter sockets and uhf between aux power or battery power, so I can charge various things and have uhf on without keys in ignition .. as I spend a lot of time near my car but not driving it, and the uhf is on the work channel, its nice to be able to still hear whats going on and keep phone charged, but if I walk away from vehicle don't have to worry about some idiot jumping in and taking off

Hi stapler do you have any pictures of the fuel tank you made in the tub

[Stapler401]

That I don't duck.. a thought in process.. if you search fleximake on fleabay you get an idea, also an alloy 70l one that would fit between the wheel arches quite nicely

[snowman]

bump. these are the lights via 4Wd supplies.

This talk of LEDS reminds me of my cree LED reversing lights - cheap, easy and give impressive rear lighting.

more deets on this? rear lighting is woefull. i bought a nice LED light but i need to make a bracket first..........

so that means i need an easier option first.

4wd supplies has awesome 5 or 10w led's with a bracket etc ready to mount.

It is also on my best under $200 buys




Turned them on one day and a blind man screamed.

[macca002]

Reverse camera/gps/hema maps/OBD2 scanner - sub $200 easy!

[Jarunit]

Seat spacers for me, definitely.

Then some LED lighting inside the canopy.

Hey guys where can I pick up some seat spacers from? Can't find any on eBay or after doing a quick search on Google. I am in nsw, are there some that are better than others ?

Do you have a build thread with these things in that we can have a read of? They sound inexpensive and very handy

I have been meaning to pull my finger out and put a build thread together, but I keep getting distracted by putting more things on the Triton.

[triton_guru]

Snorkel : $85
Hid conversion kit : $55
8" hid spotties : $150 pair
Dual battery kit : $200 installed
Wooden drawer : $40

Soo many to choose from haha

[Mudme]

Can't bring myself to get the safari design snorkel yet, I'm still wanting the Tjm one

[kwikfab]

There was a forum member that was making them but he has stopped doing them. No one else does them.

I am able to make some, didnt want to tread on anyones toes if they had a business doing it...

[Cowboy Dave]

There are one or two others making them too but no one running a business in any official sense. In terms of treading on toes the thing to watch is the forum's rule against advertising. We've had people make a bunch and then launch into a thread advertising availability which would fall foul of the rules. A quiet PM or two here and there might be the way to do it.
