What did you do to your Triton today?

[AC137]

More of a 'what have you done over the last couple of weeks', but have been tidying up all my wiring (until the spotters came I just shoved everything in there)

Added 2 Narva fuse boxes, the smaller one gets power from the high beam on one side and the other is from a relay providing power when the ignition is switched on. The larger box is hooked directly to the battery and obviously powers most things.



In the process of rewiring, added some Narva rocker switches


And finally a pair of Ultima 225 HID's. Haven't been able to test them fully yet or set them up properly, but glad I went with HID's and spread beams.

[Dellian]

Ultimate suspension, steel rims and Hankook RT03 mud tyres installed. She looks the part now.



Apart from the UHF and some minor mods. The young girl is done.

[Mayhem2015]

Yeah we believe you Dellian. "The young girl is done." Watch this space me thinks.

Looks a cracker though mate. Nice job. Are you getting 80 channel UHF? Apparently 40 channel and being fazed out and will be illegal soon??

[Minza]

I bought some second hand bushskinz the other day and fitted them up today, well 2 out of the 3 plates got on the the truck need to get some bolts to fit up the 3rd plate, massive difference between the tin foil ones that were on there

Too right mate. I've looked at my notes and still have a lot of small modifications to do. But the large scale items and the expensive ones are done at least! (minus the canvas canopy haha)

Haven't started the research yet on the UHF but if that's the case it'll make things much easier.

[BattleBorn91]

That. I did that. And no, im not talking about the suspension strut being backwards

[NowForThe5th]

Very artistic oil leaks there, BattleBorn.

Assume you're going to turn the strut around and put the bolt in before you do anything else?

[Cowboy Dave]

Today I installed... Okay I'll stop there. Today I plugged in and connected two devices to make the MMCS more user friendly. I've stopped short of calling it installed because at the moment there are wires hanging everywhere, none of the control boxes are mounted/secured and the MMCS is held in by two screws and a rolled up rag.

The first device is a Japanese imported device which enables video in motion and/or touchscreen usage at all times. I previously had a resourceit device which did half of that but fell short on the video front. I'm planning a second rear camera that I can manually activate so I want the screen to show that while driving, which this device will allow.

The second is a Pure Highway 300Di. It's an impressive little box which will play DAB+ radio, iPod, auxiliary input or a USB stick of music and then pass that to the stereo, either via the aerial or through your aux input plugs. The iPod control is not as good as the MMCS touchscreen but otherwise it seems pretty good, especially since I now have a bunch of extra radio stations to listen to.

One big disappointment though has been the gme aerial I bought to support the upgrade to DAB+. While it may have improved FM reception, and enables DAB+, the AM reception is worse than with the factory antenna. Fortunately the 3 main ABC stations are also digital so I can access them that way.

I'll probably look into whether I can get some sort of antenna switcher or whether I can combine the two somehow.

Now I just have to go back and tidy everything back up and reassemble my dash.

[moses]

Went through the car wash

Nothing to worry about mate, thats just the artistic stylings of my CT20 wash n wax!

And yes, was supposed to be done today but the boys at the depot didnt get time to take it to the diesel mechanic, so im doing that myself tomorrow morning.

To add insult to injury, i also found a large bolt in my left rear this afternoon. FML.

[tritonvx80]

put my mickey thompson 54" under it.

[4wd26]

put my mickey thompson 54" under it.

OMG
That's different but nice

[kwikfab]

holy Crap... hows the cvs going to handle that?

[explorer.dave]

SAS my friend.

[tritonvx80]

It feels like stock. Powersteering no mods. And power enough for highway speed.
Gonna put tomorrow porsche cayenne turbo rotors and calipers under it. Because stock brakes cant stop the 54" tires.

Is this all legal where you are?

[tritonvx80]

Today i put the porsche cayenne turbo brakes on it. Will post pictures soon.

[tritonvx80]

got the brakes. 380 front and 380 rear rotors original brembo 6 piston calipars

[furious]

amazing! where about in the world do you live? i'm booking my ticket tonight.

[RHKTriton]

All those holes must weaken and reduce the friction area of the discs.

What sort of turning circle do those doughnuts allow? Looks like
you'd need half a football field.

[tritonvx80]

its in thailand and the thai triton club has many special tritons for offroad use.
actually i turn very very sharp. i can make a uturn easy as any normal car. I changed the max steering lock to lock so i can turn very tight. you do got me thinking now about all the holes in the discs mate ;-(

[catchya]

There called cross drilled disc. Only a problem for circuit track use, not street driving. You will be fine

[ag9111]

Agree
only an issue if you are on them all the time.
Road use all good
