More o/t to pay for it all mate!!!So what's next mate? Spotties/light bar, winch, springs, roof cage...new expanda?????
I went shopping today and picked up some more recovery gear to go in the Triton. It will be a shame to get it dirty.
The gloves look like my size too mate and thought full of you to get me the hat, seeing as I have no hair and you'll be in the drivers seat.

Actually pretty good, used them when I was on tram breakdown recovery.
You won't need any of that gear, unless your pulling out a hilux :tongue-11:
Hand winch???? ... ha, from the name it sounds like a winch that you use by hand (that cant be right)
Totally agree mate hand/hard almost the same word lol. Never want to use it but handy to have in the tub. Can go backwards with it which you can't with the electric.
Yes, very true. Ive had a Tirfor T532 for 30 years; the 3tonne model .... the cable is 5/8 (or 16mm for you pups) The thing is big and heavy and the cable rolls up nice and snug ..... in a metre size loop. The cable and winch both weigh 20kg each. A few years back I used the Tirfor to rip a twin trunk Melaluca root out of the front yard ..... hard work but they certainly keep pulling
Ive not 4x4'ed for many years, since I retired the Landcruiser HJ47 (I had the sport model .... it had a clock).
There used to be a raging Ford v Holden style debate between the Tirfor and Brano branded winches. I assumed both had gone to god. Im putting an electric on the Navara, good quality imports are only $600

I've got the original Redarc controller for the same reason as you with knees hitting. I would go the new Redarc tow pro it is a bit smarter than mine. Mine is ok though.
Thanks for that @ 17triton, yes that did help. I'm going to Bathurst this year and need to install a brake controller to my new triton.
These NEW Tritons must be a strange vehicle my brake controller in my Jeep is my foot, found it has worked to control my vehicle brakes very well for many years and even worked in trucks and other vehicles as well................................:yo::yo:
Based on the sheer "awesomeness" of last years Bathurst trip, @17triton and I could probably check it out at The Mountain this year!
I hear it's hard to get a site at Bathurst. As previous people get first chop at sites. Hoping to take to panda down this year.
Had a play with my iPod mini Chrissy present tonight, it's running the Hema explorer and seems to do the job ok for a $25 app.
