[TUFF TROOP]

Haha yeah true. I just fitted a cry02 system to my bosses Tarmac evo 9 hill climb car , the amount of gain he has got from that is unreal. But costs a lot to keep topped up. With few bottles etc It basically near freezes the front mount and cools water temp massively and a huge diffrence. But I'm not wanting to go that extreme. But boost activation does sound a lot better

[motoz]

Does the chip you have fitted enable you to control it?

[TUFF TROOP]

Nah mines only a dp chip Dave

Here's a update pic of the start of some new mods / enhancements haha

[odie602r]

Led light bar instead of spotties? How does that go? I would assume that you lose the longer distance light quite considerably, especially since you had 70w HID?

Btw - you involved in the hill climb in any way this weekend?

[TUFF TROOP]

Yeah I am Ben, busy busy which is good but mrs is due any day now so will be interesting haha!

Haven't tried it out on the road as yet, but not too fussed about how far down the road I can see anymore. No point in seeing 1k down the road in a spot . These lightbars are amazing . Just going to sell my spotties now!

[odie602r]

I'm coming along with my boys, so I'll try and find you and say gday, if that's okay. You mechanic-ing for Peter, or driving?

Just wondering - what $$ you looking at for the spotties? PM or SMS if you like. What brand are they again?

Also, where'd you get the LED lightbars from, and what are the specs, especially for the one on the bullbar?

I still want to come around and check out your Triton ...

[TUFF TROOP]

Bash plates a bit dirty mate, all that work and you forget that!
Nar looks great! Very shiny

[TUFF TROOP]

Haha they need to be taken off and polished right up haha. Next time i service it ill do em haha,

[TUFF TROOP]

Me and a mate set up our wiring and lights yesterday getting ready for our trip comming up soon, I have led light inside the rooftop tent on a switch. Led light strip in the top outside part to light up the ladder at night
Led light in alloy case under the floor of the tent to light up tailgate and surrounding area,
Also wired up a led light the full length of my awning also.
Very very happy how it all turned out.
Have also added a volt gauge to the tray so don't have to check it in the dash all the time on the piranha one!
Also wired up a USB/12v sockets in the rooftop also. All the up top wiring is connected to a fuse box in the tent, then to Anderson plug on the roof cage. As is the awning wiring, for easy removal.

Have also installed my egt gauge finally.

Looking into trickle chargers today to charge my 2nd battery every now and then.

Does anyone know what size solar panel would be sufficient to charge a 2nd battery ?
Will post some pics later!

[odie602r]

Hey Scott - I've got an 80watt solar panel (fold out type, about 5 yrs old). In full sunlight it pumps out about 5.5 Amps of charge - which is about how much most larger fridges use per hour (like your big one). So during the day it keeps up fine, it's just overnight where it loses a bit, plus lighting at night etc.

Using a 120Ah battery and the solar panel, I was able to stay camped 7 full days running 70L fridge and lights before the battery got drained. And that was with a dodgy cable that I didn't pick up until the 2nd last day that would have affected the solar charge coming back in.

If youve got the space go a 120w though - I generally like having a bit more than I need though. But if you're going to be driving around during the day and charging then, an 80 will be fine.

Hope this helps!

[TUFF TROOP]

Cheers for that Ben . Might look into them a bit more! New Years we are camping for around 7-8 days without moving so that will test it all out haha

[CYI-FLY]

Hey mate. Love the truck!! Looks sick. Out of curiosity what offset are your rims??
Cheers

[TUFF TROOP]

Our little set up for the next 5 nights!

[TUFF TROOP]

[big_bob_thefirst]

Yeah haha ,

Got one of these water traps to put on the triton in line with the standard filter.. After talking to Allan gray at the 4x4 expo and him showing me what happens etc sorta sold it for me , he's a very smart fella!

Hi Scott, I know I'm dredging up the past, but any chance u put up a photo of where u installed that fuel filter. Thinking its a good mod!!

[TUFF TROOP]

Hey bob. The fuel filter is located on the firewall on the passengers side you will see the vacant space there ill get a pic when I can!

Triton is now broken sitting in my back yard now

[odie602r]

What did you do this time?

[TUFF TROOP]

Rear uni let go by the looks of it haha.

Also if anyone is interested in purchasing my triton inbox me. Most of the info is in this thread. Thinking it may be time to move on..

[TUFF TROOP]

cleaned the 200 tonnes of sand out of the triton after my camping trip last weekend and the fishing trip this weekend. Sand mats just don't catch everything haha.

And my beloved evo seats

[wake jake]

Damn I love the evo seats Ill have to keep an eye out on ebay for some

[TUFF TROOP]

Haha yeah love em. Even the Mrs likes them 200% improvement over standard seats in comfort looks and hold ya in real well!

[wake jake]

Would love some info on how you got them to fit. Much modification to the rails? I hate my seats more everyday

[TUFF TROOP]

Yeah fair bit of mods to get them to fit haha but well worth it in my opinion.

Heres a pic of my 8week old boy testing out the seats for when he is older haha he loves it
