Hey guys, introduced myself in the introductions forum (viewtopic.php?f=15&t=18830) and though that I would start a build thread.

So here goes.

2015 GLX+ Triton

Brought at 10 months old with 18,000km's.

The car was stock standard, coming with some rubber mats and some 16*8 ROH black wheels with 265*75 muddies along with the factory wheels and rubber.

First thing I did was order some slim line black and white number plates when I transferred it. I also got a dash mat, upgraded the headlight globes to some 120+ and got a tonneau cover.

I have a OL post type bullbar on the way which should be fitted next week and following this some spotties for the front. I hope to burn the skippies off of the road before I reach them as where I work there are 100's of them. We work 12 hour shifts too so are mostly driving at dawn and dusk especially this time of the year.

Picked up a TJM portable compressor and a recovery kit from the 4wd show the other week (also where I got the bullbar). At a good price too.

EGR mod/kit is in the post and i'm lookng to order some seat spacers also. After 5 hours in the car today they are a must. I really don't know why the Triton seats sit so flat.

Also picked up a fog light switch to go besides my traction control switch which will fit in the blank from air on board ebay.

Will get some photos up at some stage soon. I'm off to read about UHF's as this will probably be my next addition.

Good start, Josh. Keep us up to date.

Yeah will do. Also thanks mate I have read allot of your posts (along with allot of other peoples good posts) over the last couple of weeks with some great information in them, especially for someone that is just starting to get into it.

Geez mate you've nailed it from the start. Bash plates will be needed if you're heading off road. Apart from that it looks like you've got it well covered.

Welcome to the forum JoshM, looking forward to seeing your build photos as they become available

Thanks guys.

The EGR mod from tony@spvindustries.com went on when it arrived last week. The hardest part of that install was finding my keys. Although there are other options I can highly recommend this plug and play (as such) option.

Here are some photos. Bullbar went on today, Looks good I reckon and with the change of wheels tomorrow for the trip next week to Robe SA it will look a different car.
