Outer Limits 4x4 Board

There's some shit hot work there!
I wish I had the bucks to do that on my Triton!

$375 quoted by dealer to for elec antenna on her Paj.

I fixed for $80, after trip to the wrecker...

I thought it was just water messing with the ABDS. Get the same thing when wet, but vanishes pretty quick and never had a prob otherwise.

Interested to know if it is anything else...

While I am here, anyone have probs with bonnet vibration?

I have the turbo oil burner - GLXR. Pulls well, decent load, easy over 600km on a tank weekday driving, over 700km country driving. At the time I priced it, had heaps more for your dollar compared to Toyo etc. Also has much better warranty. Have heaps of fun in my truck, stock standard, and have out ...

$500 for ultrasonic clean???

Just pull 'em out and go for a check up the Docs and drop the injectors in the steriliser while you chat. I remember working at the hospital, the worse fat and blood would be removed in about 2mins.

I feel much better now about $94...

Not part of normal service and it was added in a "we reccomend" as my wife was walking out the door. She said yes as was in a hurry to get to work due to being held up at service desk waiting. I have since talked to a apprentice mechanic who used to work at this particular dealer, he says it's a ...

Apparently it was a 'Flush'...

My first thought was Wynns.

Seems pricey, especially as it was only there for a basic service and it's a new vehicle.

Missus picked up her Outlander today from a dealer service.
Added was a injector clean at $95.00!
Do you reckon they over charged a bit here?
It's only its second servie???

Arvo off and had to see if I could notice any difference... Off to Appin with the Brother-In-Law. Re TUFF TRI request... Upper... http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5865/20060317image00178yr.th.jpg Appx. 20mm gap. Lower... http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/4823/20060317image00162jq.th.jpg appx ...

Just finished doing the torsion bars. About 40mm. I was told I could go about 50mm but this would be stretching the friendship with the stops, ride etc. 40mm also brings the truck to level ride front - rear. (Must remember to get an apprentice to assist with measuring!) So the ball is rolling, next ...

I am sick of picking Charades outta my grill.

Well the dealer has organised a loan Triton and they have taken it away.

I am not fully aware of all the details, I am surprised it has gone this far.

At least my friend is not paying for. I can't wait to find out what the end result is...

Friend has a 2002 V6 with some very odd overheating probs. Only had it for a couple of weeks and it's back to the dealer. Vehicle is stock. It's litterally had the works re-cooling looked over and replaced. Even sat side by side with another to compare revs,running,temp etc and confirmed there is a ...

where are u?



EDIT - Ignore that.... I found your links in sig. (D'oh!)


Geez I am only at Austral. Will have to pop over and see you.

Bank account shuddering and wallet running screaming into next room...

Wife giving me evil eye...

Price sounds good, nice to have a benchmark to work around. You're right about the lift, they already have an appearance of being rather large, any taller and it would start to look ridiculous, probably draw some unwanted attention as well. I am only looking for a mild lift to get that bit more ...

Having exact same Triton, (inc. colour), with no mods as yet.

Can I ask who and how much on lift?

Looks much improved with that raked look removed.

Lookin good!

What's the run down on the changes?

Nice setup GG.
Still working out what I want to do.

OK so I have myself a new Triton GLX-R. And I love it... The power, carry, tow etc is great... But I been thinkin.... (Yes doing this at work on night shift so handbrake doesn't catch on...) I have already dinged the runnin boards, (saved the body work so that's all good)... Tyres are stock roadies ...

Back out to Appin on the weekend, (hello to those two Toyos dissapearing up the ridge, fine if you got diff-locks and tyres that big)... :D ABS down hill was good, the Triton has a real slow crawl in 4H anyway, (can get out, have smoke and hop back in before its gets 2 far away in 4L), while I ...

ABS and EBDS, (Electronic Brake Distribution System), is nice off road. Still locks up on loose/slippery stuff but to a lesser extent. Found that if you are not getting power to ground and tap on the the breaks can help. I suppose it sees one wheel as no traction and starts working the other side ...

Have a new GLX-R turbo diesel, about 600 to 800km's per tank, depending on the driving, and cost is down again around 1.25/litre. About $50 to $70/week compared to the $90 to $100/week for the old V6 Paj. GLX-R diesel= heaps of torque, nice throttle feel and gets along nicely, easy 110kph+ when ...

Went and had some fun out bush with the new truck... http://img343.imageshack.us/img343/7817/20051122image00189em.th.jpg http://img343.imageshack.us/img343/7438/20051122image00036gf.th.jpg http://img343.imageshack.us/img343/5365/20051122image00047sh.th.jpg http://img343.imageshack.us/img343/8104 ...

Additional question on turbo timers. When I asked the dealer about fitting one, they wouldn't do it, the reason being that they could not get my Triton rego'd as RTA do not permitt them, even stated 'they are illegal'. When I went to the RTA to get my cust number, they looked up for me and confirmed ...

First trip to work out the dimensions and let the wheels touch the dirt... Can't wait to get a bit more serious! http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/3513/20051011image00338su.th.jpg http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/7787/20051011image00297gv.th.jpg :twisted: Thanks to those with messages and ...

Usually need to be a 1/4 length away from each other at least to avoid interference etc... So, which ever is the longest divided by 4. If the longest antenna measures a meter, then the antenna bases need to be at least 25cm apart. Also avoid running the coax cable together, as in taped or cable tied ...

There should only be a positive, (Red), and a negative, (black or black stripe on red), for the power supply cable on most radios. It is always best to take you power direct from the battery if at all possible. Always place a fuse, (2 to 5Amp for 5Watt low power radios, 10Amp for 25Watt high power ...

Talk about heading into a brilliant weekend..... The dealer called, my new Triton will be ready to pick up on Friday... Then I also cash in an overdue B-Day pressie.... 5 hot laps around Oran Park in a V8 supercar! (Ford of course, as is my leaning when it comes to the Supercars). Am I a happy lad ...
