Cleaning? Yep, looks that'll take a while. :P :lol:

Bit of poor planning there, mate. Should have organised CD to be there. ;)

Reverse camera head died so added this little number with temporary wiring. It's a reverse camera, dash cam and even has lane departure warning. Not tried that bit yet but the rest works well.Click to view larger picture

It has pip for reverse camera and records both in case of a rear ender.

Two days ago, finally fitted the new light bar I've been tripping over in my office. Haven't had a chance to test out at night but lights up the street signs in the arvo! :lol:

This additional strength, is it ductile or tensile in nature?

Your knob is looking a bit second hand too by the looks of it...

What are those green things next to the other crimps? Haven't seen those connectors before?

Fitted a Brown Davis long range tank that I purchased from another new triton member. Bit of a job on your own on the garage floor.

Kaybee, here is the link. One thing with the unit, I reckon the rear camera cable is about a metre too short, so can't run it up the headliner. So if you are content with on the dash ok or suppose you could by an extension cable.

Collected from the dealers after getting a new motor fitted.

Failed at 103000 kms and well outside of warranty.

3wks turn around with only a $10 cost to me to source an exhaust gasket to suit the 3" dump pipe.

Kudos to Mitsubishi for their 'good will'

Now to get it detailed and sold !!!

Doesn't even need a hit, as such. I got mine while doing a 3 point turn across a track - so just flex and gentle as you like. Consider it a badge of honour. ;)
