Danrocks Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hi Guy's, I havent been on here for a while. I've been busy busy. Been doing heaps of work in the carport on my terry, a lot of blood sweat and tears, but boy o boy, what a difference its made. It's amazing what can be achieved with an angle grinder, and a dozen or so tins of silver spray paint. heres a pic, i think it looks great. if i cand find the attachment bit, where'd it go?

jadm4x4 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 whats doin dan. You gone tritor. What happened to the terry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrocks Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 hi Matt, hows the sunny state treating you. over the last couple of weeks, i have been thinking about all the things i need to do on the terry, to keep it going, and the list just got way too big. every time i looked at the bloody thing, there was something else for the list. there was a whole heap of little things, and quite a few bigger things that needed doing, and i realy couldnt justify the time and money. so i took off all the good bits, and traded it on on a 2005 triton gls. and didnt my little girl give me some grief, she was devastated the terry was gone, and balled her eyes out and begged for me to get it back. the triton might not be as good off road, but it is a whole lot more comfortable, has a truckload more power, and fits my bike on the back. how did your fishing go? and Dave, how was your fishing?

DavefromOZ Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Fishing was good, didnt do any fishing though, got there at about 1:30pm, finished a bottle of Jacks with 2L of Pepsi by 6pm, was practically passed out by 8pm. But needed to do it. Think I might look at doing the same as you sometime next year, look at a late model dual cab Nav. If I can I will keep the Terry though, use it as a trail tart, that way I can do whatever damage I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrocks Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I looked around for a dual cab navara, but there was no decent ones around in my price range, except for a few flogged out work utes, and i will never own a car without power windows again. I paid 17000 after my trade in, which is bloody good for a 2005 triton gls, most are still up around 24 - 25000. i actualy had a look at ebay today for bits for mk tritons, and found my car advertised, same rego and everything for $29990. i might ring the dealer and tell him if he finds anyone intereted, give them my number, and if i sell it for that much, i will give him a carton of beer.

Danrocks Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Looks like fun. How did the terry go in the sand? i expect you left the prado in your dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Nah, the sand was extremely soft, managed to get through without needing help, but she didnt appreciate it. Think intercooler & scoop may help a bit, that way can get a bit more boost into her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
