    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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 😎

    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.
