We live in a world that attacks us with product we don't need yet our wants convince us to aquire it - Over the years I learned to research carefully and buy what I need for my own travel... My vehicle is modest yet well set up to keep me safe and get me home. Your careful planning and level headed decision making is an asset to us all.
Been watching your videos and i clicked subscribed. Might want to fit a hubcenrtric spacers on your steel rims to center you installation. This will get rid of wiggle on high speeds on paved roads.
Can never go wrong with Sunraysia rims, the black really make it pop now. By the way, after 7 months waiting I'm finally driving my GLX-R, gunmetal grey with black rims, love it. The ironman bulbar is really nice.
Nice video mate, but need to sort your sound out. Loud during music, quite while you speak. Also don’t put copper anti seize on alloy studs. Copper + alloy + steel causes reactions and can cause things to seize. The anti seize also acts as a lubricant and will cause you to over tighten and stretch the studs. Clean the threads and put the nuts on dry. They won’t seize or strip if done correctly
I changed my MR Triton 18” rims to steel rims with longer nuts.. no need to change the studs.. if you have 18” alloys trial fit steel as 16” won’t fit over the brake calliper on some rims
Long time viewer and always look forward to the next video. Nice work mate. Just a super nit-picky thing tho. Maybe tone down the music so that it matches the voice level? Cheers.
I have a GLS triton currently with 18"alloy. I was looking to reduce the wheel size and fit bigger off road tyres. I don't want to get a lift if i don't have to. What are peoples thoughts?
hello i have a 2004 triton 4x2 which has 185r/14c stock . i want to fit a wider tyre and a mag/ sunraiser , what can i use ? say a stock mag of a different model ? cheers
Just found your channel and I really like your commonsense approach to things. Can I just ask a question on another subject? Is it possible to fit recovery points without a bull bar? I am finding it difficult to find this information out. Thanks.
Thanks mate! From what I understand you can't because the recovery points need to be bolted to the chassis but the front bumper is in the way. I've previously been recovered from the tiedowns using a equaliser strap and a gentle pull but I wouldn't do that unless absolutely needed 👍
@@mrtriton5405 Hi MrTriton, when i changed to a front bar, the guys that fitted it called me. Informed me of the drop i got (about 20-25mm too). Then went through with me about the suspension sagging over a period of time. (i would have to replace at some point when the sag gets too bad) . So i got a suspension upgrade. Went only 30mm lift (i wanted std ride height, but nowhere did uprated springs with std ride height) 50kgs constant on the front just enough to cover my front bar. Bar weighs 70Kgs, they removed 20Kgs (had factory nudge bar), so 50Kgs being the difference. It was easier for them to fit the new suspension setup on the front whilst the bumper assembly was off. Easier access, saved a bit on labour, and due to getting bar and suspension done, got quite a bit of discount on the parts too. so may be worth talking to them about a discount.
Like your videos. How about your spare? I'm running into the issue of not having enough room under the tub to fit mine as it sits on the exhaust. Did you have the same issue?
