In this vlog we start the project TRITON Build!!!
With a super clean body this rig is going to be a super fun project and only being able to spend $2000 is going to be a challenge but I'm ready to see what we can do! Its already transformed so much compared to before and I have some pretty cool ideas for the future of this thing!

Finally a real budget build!!
Selling the tray definitely ain’t cheating!
Yeww! Thanks for the comment mate!
Can you also sell the old rims to go towards new tyres even if its $50...
You're a pro at custom trays. Sweet timber deck tray would be mint
Selling bits is not cheating, I'd sell the HUD too
How good would a custom tray be!
@@RoamLyfe nothing too extreme but make it stand out, just as economical, but time consuming
Paint the bullbar black or raptor it black would look so good and a black tray thats level with the car would suit much better, a cheap dog box/tool box would look sick aswell! keen to see how this turns out
That sounds bloody mint!!
Storm trooper theme is always a winner, tubs are cheep and easy for these and look mad with a chop. Love that the content on this channel is relatable and realistic. 👌🏽
Like every other budget rig but it’s actually on a budget not 5k now and 20k later on
For sure mate! Needs to be a true budget rig!
solid axle swap and 35s flex weapon when ur done with the budget build would be sick to see something like that out with tj and mackas old girls as well
I liked the headboard on it tbh, I thought you might just put a body lift on the cab to match the height a little better! Using the money from selling the tray shouldn't count in the 2k. I think most off us think 2k out of pocket is the budget!
I started a budget build on my Defender, looks great but turned into a massive blow out budget build. Headlights were essential. Triton looks great!
Its amazing what a set of offset rims can do. It probably feels better around corners too. I always thought replacing headlights with non standard units (LED) makes the car yellow canary material? Interested because my Jack's lights are almost flickering they are so old :)
The tray, yeah, its too wide, good luck with finding a replacement and selling the existing one.
Paint on the bullbar is like lipstick on a pig I reckon. Maybe put the $ in a get a nicer BB?
My Jack runs torsion bar front too, so if you do any work on yours, it'd be great to get some detailed info on adjusting them and setting them up.
Painting the bull bar black would look nice
So keen for that!
Mint work bro. Satin black the bullbar, black tray and custom 4 inch snork and she'll be beaut. Cheers
So keen for a snorkel!! 🤘🤘
@@RoamLyfe a troy candy snorkel?
Gotta love the old tritons, i got an old mk triton, painted all my barwork and rimes black to match the trim and looks dardy, defs a cheap mods to do that makes it look 10 times better
Tint the windows, perfect weekend job and defs need it for a daily driver. 🤘🏻
Yep that’s on the list!!
Love to see a new tray painted black and also chop the sides of the bullbar and make the hoops come on a bit more of a angle to give it a aggressive look like a muzz bar then paint it black
looking good, I reckon spray painting the bull bar black would look good
Yeah that’s on the plans!
Awesome to see a true budget build and a Triton too there tough as nails now let’s see her in the bush and a good nick name is Diesel Dog
So keen to go
For a little wheel!
Selling old parts is not cheating. Its a cost effective way to make your budget more effective.
Mint!!!!
Awesome truck, had one of these in a single cab few years back..never let me down. She look great.
Love the build so far looking amazing with me wheels and tires but definitely needs a new tray and bull bar 🤙🏻
Yeah definitely on the cards!!
With your fab skills mate nock up a custom tray to suit your needs, some tint would be the go aswell other than that she looks mint mate well done
The ol MJ triton, used to have one of these, unfortunately had to part with it because 5th gear's bearing started to whine, and then before I could get it rebuilt the entire gearbox blew up, oil was a metallic paste. If yours faces a similar fate, grab a box out of the same era Pajero with the same 4d56, it's got a different denomination on the vin plate, it's stronger as a whole and tends to hold up better if previous owners have towed in 5th gear a lot
Oh really I’ll keep an eye on the oil on the gearbox!
Thank you!!!
@@RoamLyfe what motor is in it? I have a gen1 Pajero with could rear
@@RoamLyfe coil
Put led parkers and blinkers in bullbar, Remove the parkers neat to headlights amd put in checker plate instead would look dope
True budget and affordable build dude!
Can’t wait for the final $2000 outcome
I was just writing a comment telling you to sell the tray and wheels so you can recoup the costs and put back into the car. Then you ask the question 😂 it's not cheating, that's budget 101 👌❤️
Mint dude! Thanks for the comment 🤘🤘
Not the best way to spend the budget but some custom period correct cab decals would look mint! Break up all of that white 👌
Yeah that’s actually a bloody dope idea!!
Aaaaaye been waiting to see the mighty trighty
Haha Yeww!!
Hey mate... get a wheel alignment, it will drive much better.
Got one after this episode!! Helps heaps!
Love the idea brother! A true budget build
Maybe Paint the bar black and have a crack at tinting the windows yourself 👌
I’d love to try and tint it myself hey! Would be a bit of a mission but could be pretty fun!
@@RoamLyfe you built coal into a weapon on your own and a bloody mint camper, you'd smash it bro keep up the great work
How good do those headlights look 👀 👍🏽.
Very cool mate.
I think that that’s ok if you sell the tray off the Tritton and put the money to a new one for it.
Awesome! Good to hear your opinion!
I dont think selling the tray or wheel is cheating, its more like what anyone would do and you would get more cash from selling it rather than scrapping it, As for the rest of the car, I rekon sand and clear coat the indicator lenses and some roofracks and weather sheilds. paint the bullbar black and it would look tuff as! keep up the great work!!
Thanks mate! I’m hoping I can sell the tray and grab a decent second hand one that will fit better!!
Much better. Never been a fan of that tray. Should chuck a tub on it. Would look much better. Might need to grab some merch too now and support the triton build🤙
I’d love to grab a tub but they are as rare as rocking horse shit haha
I think it would look good with a tub and a uhf also maybe a light bar and reverse light. Love the vids 👌🤙
Thanks legend!!
I love the look of your gq it's giving me lots of motivation on mine
Thanks mate glad it’s helped!!
Chop the headlight hoops off the bar and polish it up for something different!
Jheeeez she scrubbed alright, looks a million times better 🔥🔥
How much better does it look hey!
Personally font like Ute's without head boards but to each his own the ute looks mint
nice video mate👍👍...those lights are mint as i have em on my ln106 so yeah they are mint and chage the look of the front of the car
Such a good upgrade and they where super cheap!
That old girl is sweet. Love the build vid mate. And yes, put any money you get from the tray back into said budget. 👍🍺
Thanks for the comment!
Looks good, front bar would look good black.
Yeah for sure! Keen to black it out hey!!
You should try find a second hand tub tray to put on it because that would look sick
Yeah I did look but can’t find one!!
Awesome work brah!
Old mate Harry sneaking a lung buster. I bet he's hiding that from his other half.
Hahaha Lung buster 😂😂
Looking good. But seriously, if you're looking for a home for it (one that would take it wheeling again) look no further than my way.....
Lov it mate . I'm doing a 86 Mazda sadan
Yeah buddy looking good , keeping my eye out for those lights , for my Triton single cab , smaller black tray black bull bar , would look mint I reckon .. take care mate :)
Yeah that’s a bloody solid plan! 🤘🤘
definitely a new tray, but looking good with the new mods 👍
On a budget - cheeky raptor coat on the alloy bar, and sneak a marketplace winch behind it. Just in case.
Sounds like a plan!!
Looking good broski
Cheers bull!
Epic build! Just wondering how many km's does this rig have on it? and how much did the engine problems take to fix?
Been waiting for this series brother yeeeew. Hopefully diesel will finally pull his weight 😂
Tell ya mate if he dosnt he ain’t getting fed no more 😂😂
Looks way better good stuff. spraying the tray or a future tray in raptor rattle cans would be good to watch and see how good it turns out. cheers
Will for sure be spraying the tray!!
Chop the hoops off the front bar and paint it white. Would look mint
Lookin Mint 👌🏿👌🏿
Cheers nic!
Shame you live so far away I would have bought the tray
love all your builds there awesome
sick video 🛻🤙😎
It's more a question of 'should it be done' rather than 'can it be done'
And the answer to that is “yes” haha
Depending on where you’re located I have a steel dual cab tray for a mk triton I’m selling, I’m in Horsham Victoria if ya keen, she needs a grind and paint though
yer mate camera quality looks great, I just thought ya had an early onset of parkinsons 🤣🤣
Yeww! Yeah it was annoyingly shakey so I’m glad I invested in a lense! They are just so expensive 😂😂
Not cheating at all, you’re swapping like for like 💁🏼♂️ looking forward to rest of build
Awesome vid.
Some etching primer + $40 can of raptor for the bulbar next yeah?
Yep sounds like a plan!!
Definitely needs a headboard but that’s my opinion
Yeah I do like the look of the headboards!
Love the budget build. Will we get a cost breakdown for the camper trailer?
Yeah I’m going to make a cost breakdown for the camper when I get time to!!
raptor the bullbar will improve the look heaps..
Yep for sure!!
i recon black tray and black bullbar s
looks mint
Thanks bull
Led headlight are illegal here in nz as well never understood it tho new car have them but you can't put them on an old one. Also paint the bar black?
UHF and spotties next mate
I have been looking for a cheaper Triton, where do you find them? The Triton looks great.
tbh i love the headlights on this, wondering if this is the same as my 04 MK and if they're stock or aftermarket?
Nice one man, and yeah selling it aint cheating at all
Yeww sweet as!
Looks Great!!
Thanks mate!!
Hey mate, I'm looking to buy the same headlights and had assumed that the LED daytime running lights worked automatically when you plug the lights in. What do you need to do to get them to work? Because I have no idea, cheers.
You need to find an ignition source that is 12v when your turn your key to “on” then tap into that and connect to the extra spade connector
I reckon Whatever profit you make off of the triton you can put back into it
those trays are very modular,....trim the floor panels down and re-attachth sides n brackets..... narrow tray for the price of a cutting wheel.
lovin tha content mate 👌
Thanks mate!! I already pulled the pin on a tray for it! Picked it up super cheap!
@@RoamLyfe Awesome. When will we see the new tray?
Build a custom wood tray!
Haha!!
Id like to see you do a more colour coded look white bullbar and white tray
And thin the width of the tray
That’s a bloody good plan, I might go black tho just cause it’s a bit easier than white haha!
@@RoamLyfe i know easier but would be a good look on the car and different to what you have done
I miss my triton
Such good rigs!!
Titanium snorkel
Try to do a solid axle conversion
Love the budget builds. Did you sell your patrol? I saw it advertised.
I have a deposit on it mate, still waiting on the money!
Bro build your own tray that would be a good episode
It’s a bit expensive at the moment for materials
Could do with some new indicator lenses, they look a little dull next to the led head lights.
Yeah they do hey!! Cheers mate
Just an idea but what if you put power window in it??
I love this rig
Such a good ol rig
get sum brush bars on the dog
That would be sick!
Nice
Tinted windows, 100% will change the look
I might have a crack at tinting myself!
Mate looking good .🇦🇺❤️👍🍺
Thanks mate!! 🤘🤘
Paint the bullbar black 👌
That’s on the cards 🤘🤘
Cover it in high been lights
Sell coal to build up the triton. More family friendly and more relatable too more people which would make this channel more popular. We all follow for the car builds. The nav, the patrol now a triton
Coal is actually up for sale!
Not cheating at all. That money should be subtracted from what ever you replace the tray with…then that the amount to add to the ledger.
And here I am complaining about how expensive the colorado is getting 😂
😂😂
What pressure cleaner and foam do you use to make it stick like that?
I don't think selling the tray is cheating. 24 hours of lemons allows that sort of thing. Maybe turn the fuel up!
Can u lower the tray on the old dog plz mate I think would look way better up to u tho man love ya vids
Yeah mate gonna lower it down for sure!
Can you send me link to those headlights? Greetings from Finland!
Looks fricken awesome bro! Regarding the tray they are usually made up of extrusions, equal angles and unequal angles so you can disassemble/slide apart and cut down the width of the deck panels and associated trims etc, this would be free or at worst the cost of angle grinder blades... just a thought, loving the content on this mitzi gem 😎
I did think about that but I already pulled the pin on a new tray! 🤟🤟
did you have to do have to put a relay in for the led lights
Nope not that I’m aware of! The current is very low!
Great buy, I quite like the Tritons, though I'm more of a fan of the LN106 Toyota Hilux, one of my younger brothers has recently purchased and modified one and I love it.
I reckon you should buy a decent bullbar for the Triton and a winch as well or raptor coat the current bullbar and add a toolbox/dogbox on your new tray (I saw in another comment thread that you've recently bought a new one.)
Keep up the great work and content. I'll probably buy my brother a sticker from your store for his LN106.
The ln106 is a rig and a half, the price of them has gone up dramatically latley! Thanks for the advise and I’m keen to see that sticker on ya brothers riiig!!
Do you have the link for the head lights that you put in
