Well here are some pics of my Triton, I hadn`t done a thread on it and thought it might get interesting over the next year or so as I do some upgrades. Today I got my mate to install a uniden uhf radio,ariel and a anderson plug for my air compressor.
A bit of info about the car, we picked it up new in sept 2012 its a glxr manual. We got it with ARB canopy,red arc brake controller,reverse camera,tint,12v plug in tub,hayman reese towbar because we couldnt get the ARB rear bar for about a month or two and we got that later and I fitted that myself.
I put rubber matting and made up some ply to protect the floor from day one and give me a cheap option to tie down the engle. We put some airbags in the back also.
As far as future mods I hope to put some decent tyres soon, I am looking at Micky ts Atz 4rib or BFGs or Coopers. I have done 25k on these road tyres and they dont look like wearing out but I will bight the bullet and get rid of them soon. That will be followed by some rear drawers/duel battery/drop down fridge slide. Then maybe suspension , snorkle,bull bar in no particular orderdepending on finances.
Cheers Matt.

@BUSH PALACE have you seen this thread of @17triton it looks like he is getting it ready for the Cameron Corner meet :eyebrows:
I have mentioned to the wife that I could take the kids up there but I wouldn`t take the van, I could swag it but time will tell. I won`t commit yet it`s a bit far away yet and the wifes job isn`t real secure at present.

@17triton nice rig there, that is one of my favourite colours that Mitsubishi do. Yes, those OEM tyres last very well, they do well on our company vehicles. Pace.
Yeah Pace I wish the tyres were clapped out it would make the decision a lot easier.

Bought a set of slightly used BFG A/Ts this week I am yet to pick them up and get them fitted. I will put some pics up when I get them.
Change of plans as I got mucked around on the BFG`s I have ordered brand new Bridgestone D697`s, just waiting for them to get cleared through customs.
