Oh No! Not Another Tritrailer?

It seems appropriate timing - Boosted, Rick, Wallace and Adz. Guess that makes mine the 5th!

Ok, $49 on Ebay and this is how it arrived at the shop. Note the carrying vehicle is an MK.

There are a few things happening at the moment so it's not going to be a fast build but I'll post progress and photos as it comes together.

The GLXR badges are about $12 each so half the cost of your tub!

On the other hand they reimburse you $185 per DID badge so I guess you ended up losing out. :P
I hate to advocate drugs, sex, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.

Thanks Homer, but I have a VR V6 so that's $24 + ($185x2) = $394 I'm ahead already. Seriously though, I was thinking of just selling the lights and tailgate (that's about $800 worth). Already it's turning into a money pit. $900 for towbar, about $500 chassis and axle, $600 for Rhino lining in tub, $200 for tonneau cover.......then there's tool/storage boxes, matching wheels & tyres, then there's time and materials to paint it to match the Triton, then there's.......... If I get out of this for under $3000 I'll be amazed. Only plus is that it's a promotional thing so at least it's all deductible.

Here's a few pics of mine, it's not finished yet, with the 32's to go on yet and the front of the tub to finish off.
It's carrying 40ltrs of water and most of my camping gear in the photos - about 2/3 of full trip weight

Took the trailer down to crystalvale with the paj on the weekend, tow's great - got a heap of thumbs up and from a few tritons as well.

Just bought a kitchen set up for it and need a bigger toolbox (or the pitbike) on the front to balance the weight easier

Here's a pic of the kitchen/storage unit i bought, very cheap compared to some others around.
I have bought some more of the smaller draw units since the photo, so the shelves are now full.
The kitchen has a cover that slides out from underneath and slides down the front to lock everything in (designed for a swing out tailgate)

I'll add a pic of when i first bought the trailer as well
