Hi, i know this topic has been discussed before, but i cant find any info on how to make the Turning circle better on my Triton.
Some People said they have made theirs better by adjusting some bolts but didnt go into detail how they done it, if someone can shed some light by giving me some info or pics of what they done would be great.

Cheers MArz

These are the bolts you need to look for in the front end... Undo locking nut, turn steering stops in until 3 lines of thread are visible and re-tighten the locking ring...

This should take, if memory serves me correctly, about 2m off the turning circle... Both these pics are the same side, the bolts on both sides are identicle so once you find one, you'll know what to look for on the other side...

Many are doing it, L200.org is full of threads about it with no incident of any side effects...

With only 3 threads exposed, I just clear the chassis with 31-10.5/15 muds... Did the mod at about 1,600km and now over 150,000km with no issue...
