Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys,
Been following the forum for a couple of months now, since i brought my first 4x4. A 1992 turbo diesel MJ Triton, single cab style side ute. Picked it up off one of my old mans mates for what i consider a pretty good price.

Came with all the usual mods, safari snorkel, 2 way, bull bar, tow bar, spotties, mags and after market stereo.

Just put a new set of 31s on, a 2.5inch exhaust and transfer case mount.

I was also put onto a product made by a company called Cost Effective Maintenance. They make an engine oil cleaner, when i first changed the oil i was only getting about 4.5 liters out. i used this stuff and got 6 liters out! was pretty impressed with that. also just started using their de-coking product to clean out the heads, turbo and what not. let you know how it goes.

I'm pretty keen to put an intercooler on the old girl, but i am strugling to find kits or ideas from other people on this project. Just wondering if anyone has done this or has seen it done. was think about taking a top mount intercooler from a later model triton and fitting it to mine. any ideas or problems with this? also what was the first of the triton that came out with an intercooler?

do you guys see many of these tritions getting around? since getting the ute i havent seen one the same yet. seen one dual cab, plenty of 4x2 but yet to see one like mine.

great forums guys. its now my home page!

Hey im new to this just got a 1997 mk d/cab triton 2.8lt deisel no turbo yet' it's pretty stock for now put will be doing more to it later on when $$ free up. I have seen a few of them gettin around down here on the far southcoast of NSW but not many.

Thanks

Gday fellas good to hear about more tritons getting around, I've had my 92 MH single cab triton for a while now its only the 2.6 petty but she goes alright.
So far she been lifted a couple of inches, had some new 31" muddies bolted up, extractors and a 2" high flow sports exhaust, polished alloy bullbar fitted, and the usual UHF, Head unit, speakers, spotties, ute box ect... fitted
Mines the only modified one around here (sunshine coast, QLD) that im aware of any way.

Planing on doing a body lift in the next couple of weeks and then nocking up a set of rock sliders for the old girl.

Cheers Jonezy

Jonezy those rock sliders sound like a good idea to me, when ya finish them i'd love to see a few photos! been planning on building a set for my old girl for a while now but just haven't got around to starting them.

Yeh mate hopping to have them done as soon as possibly(2-3 wks) my mate just orded some 3mm 2.5" pipe for the sliders/step. with four mounts heading back to the chassis, havent decided on which way to mount it yet though.

Will post pictures/Pm when done.

hey guys just got a 92mj duel cab a couple of months ago bout to stick a set of muddies under it and the next step is a 2" sus lift. was contemplating diff lockers (any sujestions or advice would b awesome) just gott get the funds.
hoping to head up past cooktown soon so will take some pics and post em when i can.
any pics of the older tritons would b good so i can see what ppl are doing to them.

Heres a pic of my 92 MH, 2" lift, 31" Muds, Got a custom tube bar sitting in the shed ready to go on, Future Mods will be a 2" Body Blocks, 33's, front locker, and possibly a custom tray(see were the funds are at and how much time ill have)

Cheers, LOL, Is that your handbrake on the ground in front of the truck?
A shiela from work just bought a 2003 4 cylinder petrol ute and wants wide rims. As it is a 2wd does she still need to go to 4wd sunnies etc or are GXL rimes wider than the standard rim, Thanks.

As a matter of fact that was my hand brake untill I finaly got round to adjusting it, I would think sunnies would be the cheapest option for your friend not sure about the GXL rims that might be one to ask in a new topic.

Jonezy

Thanks Jonezy, LOL, Have had a couple of similar handbrakes myself, Cool.
She only picked it up today so I will find out a bit more about it tomorrow.
