Gday
My names nick im 25 and i own a triton
So i have been on here a while and i thought i would start a build up thread as i am feeling bored tonight and the wifes away down in brisvagas for a few days so bring on the rums
Well i have owned the ute for a bout 18 months and its great for camping and work related stuff during the week. After having the ARB bar fitted when i took delivery and seeing how dodgy it was fitted and having to fix some of the wiring and fix the flares i decided that every other mod i would have a crack at fitting myself. So its been a good learning curve but i can say to people i fitted just about everything to my ute which has saved me a fair amount of molah
So the list goes
08 GLX R Triton
Current Exterior thingys stuff
-ARB bar C/C with fog lights
-3x IPF XS900 with blue covers 2 spot 1 spread
also upgraded phillips headlights and fog lights
-Rhino Racks
-ARB smooth canopy C/C one slider with dog guard one lift up and also lift up front window
-Ironman Sidesteps (just waiting to pick them up hopefully on thursday)
-Safari snorkel
-Resprayed rear end from work related painting accident so i had all the badges removed except
the diamonds i also took the flares off and had them colour coded when i had the other stuff sprayed and i have to say they look 200%better then plain old gray
-3m tint darkest legal did all the windows again so the backs pretty much blacked out looks good with the wheels though
-5x 16x8 20p Black King wheels with
-32 STT coopers
-2" Dobinsons lift with tailshaft spacer
-Extended Diff breathers (picking them up with the side steps)
-TJM bash plates
-Also i rust proofed it got to love spray on tar stuff when your covered in it
