Hi everyone,
I have recently purchased a 2012 MN Triton in pretty good condition, its an ex council ute.
I used to have cheap fourbys that I would take out to fourby parks and spend a lot of money repairing. This time I want to build something that I can take touring and camping.
I grew up camping on the school holidays but Mum was a powered site type of camper whereas I prefer to rough it. My wife and I have a 7 month old daughter and I want her to grow up camping and knowing how to live away from the city.
This will be a multi purpose type of vehicle as I use it for my daily driver, I use it on the sand to get to fishing spots, it goes out west with shooters on the back of it (which rules out a canopy), and I want to be able to tackle the big ticket destinations like cape York.
So here it is in the pretty much stock form that I got it in.

I have named it stormtrooper I'm going to do the blacked out look.
This build isn't going to winning any races as once our bubba came along excess cash went out the window but I will update it as I go along.
So far all I have done is install a uniden remote mount 80 channel UHF. I mounted the unit under the dash with some pretty strong double sided tape and it holds pretty well.
I picked up a scotts rods exhaust today which I will fit tomorrow night after work, being a mechanic by trade I can save a lot of money doing my own work and servicing.
Once the exhaust goes on it is booked in at Mercury Motorsports to get the ECU retuned.
It is also booked in to get the windows tinted before Christmas which I am looking forward to as I cop the sun on the drivers side the whole way to work in the morning.
Once these few things are done the cashola will be drained so will be a bit of a wait before anything else happens.
