- A walk around our Mitsubishi Triton MR that we used to travel Australia on a 3 year Big Lap and more. As well as the Big Lap Around Australia, its also been used for many remote and rugged trips including, a Simpson Desert Crossing, The Oodnadatta Track, Flinders Ranges and multiple trips to K;gari AKA Fraser Island.
It's been a great, safe and reliable vehicle setup to accommodate our family of 4.

It’s good to see an outfit that’s not all sponsored gear and in a price point for the normal person can possibly afford, thanks mate.
Thanks mate. My whole fit out is probably cheaper than the price of a upper market canopy. I should have worked out the cost but, honestly I’d rather not think about it lol.
Agree, most others on YT are just out for the most expensive FREE gear they can get their hands on, and probably use about 20% of the stuff supplied
@@AdventuringPals Sure it might have cost you a bit for the setup but you can't put a price on the memories for you the misses and the kids.
@@-PORK-CHOP- all paid for by ourselves with ever discounts I could get by asking. Same as anyone could.
I love that it’s easy to move the canopy along to any tray back ute. Which as you know is exactly what we did.
I have a 2018 Triton 4x4,4 Cylinder manual.
It's interesting that you got the suspension modified.
I have a canopy on mind with a Titanium drawer system.
We live on the north west coast of Tasmania and next summer we will be doing a trip to Sandy cape.
At the moment I am looking at suspension modifications for the Triton.
@@petermercer5968 hi mate. The standard suspension was fine with just our canopy minus the RTT. But I did the suspension change as part of the GVM upgrade and to tow our caravan.
Thanks for the rundown mate. I’m currently in the process of building up a 2021 triton and your videos are very helpful.
Thanks for the feedback mate. So glad to be helpful. The tritons are an awesome ute.
Nice setup, I love how you said I have a portable radio so the misses can tell me where to go, I had to laugh cause I bet she does tell you where to go 🤣🤣😂😂
Thanks man. I’m glad you picked up on that lol.
You've put a lot of thought and gear into this. Tried and tested across half of Australia. Well done buddy.
Thanks mate. It’s done us well, but we are now struggling to keep it below its legal weights. In particular, the rear axel.
Looks awesome man good to see the big triton making it happen!
Thanks man. But I’ll be joining you on the dark side soon lol.
awesome setup I love its simplicity,
Thanks mate. I appreciate you commenting. I too like the simplicity.
A great video mate the run down of your rig was great as I have a Mitsubishi triton as well the up coming videos sound very interesting aspesaly the air bags will look forward to that. Happy Travels to you and your family. 🤗🤗
Thanks mate. I appreciate you taking the time out and commenting. Airbags have worked great for our setup.
Great vid mate. cant wait for your next adventure. and mine too which is Teewah in a couple of weeks :)
Thanks mate. Good luck with your next adventure. I’m sure it’ll be great.
Loving your set up, We also have a triton similar and are looking to do a lap next year, we should team up for some adventures 🎉
Thanks mate. I actually traded the triton in for another ute. I wanted to take the RTT and tow a caravan too but the triton would be over on the rear axle limit. But yeah still keen to catch up on the road sometime. We will probably still be on the road next year so hit us up. Elvin.
@@AdventuringPals sounds good, what ute did you go with ?
@@yan_stewi_travels I got a v6 next gen ranger. Hopefully it can be as reliable as the triton was.
@@AdventuringPals that’s epic, if we were in the market we would go for one to, such epic specs.
@@yan_stewi_travels it is definitely a step up on the triton for power and tech but it would have to be for the extra price and being much newer.
8:32 - I'm a bit of a fan of the jaycar/RTM gear myself and have done a couple of reviews of their stuff.
Yeah cool. I’ll have to check out the vids. They are good value gear.
Hey mate, watched a few of your vids but can't remember if your triton is a GLS or not. I ask because I have a GLS (also blue, nice choice!) and was making enquiries about smaller rims and the word on the street was the GLS/GSR calipers were pretty big and made it difficult to get rims that would fit.
Thanks for all your videos!
Hi mate. Thanks for watching. Yes mine is a GLS. I too was under the impression that I couldn’t go lower than 18 but the local tyre shop had these on sale and they test fitted it for me. All was ok so I got them. The rims I have is ROH CRAWLER 25P. Hope that helps.
@@AdventuringPals helps heaps ! Love the rims!
@@andrewford80 awesome. Yeah me too. I didn’t have a preference, just wanted 17’s and these were in the showroom ready to go. They have really grown on me.
I know that back ground as I was there 4 weeks ago and walked to the point to the right if the boat ramp and the we drove to the left and set up there to watch the sunset. Do you have an email that I'll be able to get as I would like to ask you some questions about the car as I have the 2021 mr and I would like to ask some more questions about is and questions about going off road in the mr.
Hi mate. It’s a great place to view a sunset. You can email us on adventuringpals@outlook.com or alternatively you can message us on Facebook messenger. Just look for Adventuring Pals on Facebook. Thanks.
Navara NP300 (53k)and yes I could have had the Trident,live and learn. Tray and powder coated canopy (China) fitted (7k) factory triers on alloy rims (1k) hoop less factory alloy bull bar after accident on Hervey Bay round about 2.8k and driving light (.5k) safety Dave camera,clear view mirrors,throttle controller and Brown Davis 150ltr long range tank (3.5k) Pedders 350kg constant leaf springs,heavy duty shocks,new shackles and neoprene bushers (1.8k) weight distribution hitch (.5k) . It still wouldn’t pull the skin off a custard and I’ve had holdern red motors that pulled better and the 4ltr ford Barra motor has to be the best tow motors I’ve ever had (should of got an XR6 turbo wagon years ago 😂😂) When the bride goes to England soon I’m hoping to sneak it into ultimate diesel engineering on the Gold Coast so they can wave a magic wand over the bugga,I just need to get up that way again and register it in Queensland before I start mucking with it to much. Hopefully making it to Cairns this winter before returning for the legends of charity even at Goomburra in August. Stop bloody working so hard and get back to making clips to keep me entertained 😂😂 Love too all the family,stay strong 😘😍🥰❤️🙏🙏👁️👁️😎😇🐕🦺❤️🇦🇺
Your Nav sounds nicely decked out. I wish they optioned the barra in the new ranger lol. I’d go for it. Hoping to get back in to more regular videos in the near future. Thanks for sharing in on our adventures mate. We appreciate the support.
@@AdventuringPals I love ya work mate and hang out for your clips just to catch up on you and yours 👍👍❤️🙏🇦🇺some may call it storking but I like to think of it as staying in touch with mates I haven’t meet yet. Barra motor in a ranger ? I wonder if that would be classed as a hibreed and not be subject to the new tax rules 😂😂
@@grahamwhittaker8844 thanks mate. Yeah it’s a funny world we live in these days. With the internet and social media. You make friends from all around the place without ever meeting them.
Real life situations 🔥💯
Yeah it definitely gets used everyday and works a treat. Thanks for commenting.
Hey mate, how much does your vehicle weigh fully loaded? Cheers
Hi mate. This setup when loaded for a trip like our Simpson Desert crossing was maxing out even my upgraded GVM at 3190kg and rear axle at around 1840 kgs. Thats why we had to change it out for a new ranger. The Ute still handles fine at these weights it was more a case of staying legal with our weights.
G'day mate. What made you chose the Triton over say a Hilux, DMax or even a Pajero Sport?
Hi mate. When I got this ute it was great value for the money, and suited our needs at the time. Also, the super select 2 with its on road 4wd system was unmatched in the dual cab market.
We are currently in the process of trading in the Triton for another dual cab ute. Unfortunately, this time it won’t be another Triton. I will do a video of all the details on why I’m changing and why I chose what I did. I will do this closer to the time of trading in. This was my third Triton and I love the brand and recommend it to anyone who is wanting one.
@@AdventuringPalsAwesome.... :)
@@robdotcom71 👍
I also have a mr triton and for I chose it because of a fue things, the 1st is the price as I looked at Nissan and for the base modle it was the same price ans the mr with, towbar, slim line window shade things, nudge bar with lights bar built in, tub liner, ko2 tyers, real roll bar, tornacover, tie down points, tinted windows and also rubber and carpet floor mats all from Mitsubishi so they are all covered under the 10 year warranty as that's how I drove the car out if the car yard and all that way the same price as the bass model Nissan nav that didn't even have carpet. They have the 10 year warranty and also the 10 cap price service unlike other brands. I can do everything that the other brands can do but I have better factory warranty.
