I'VE been a huge fan of 4X4 Australia's previous project builds, of which there have now been five: 2018 Ford Ranger, 2020 Isuzu D-MAX, 2022 Isuzu MU-X, 2023 Ford Ranger V6 Sport and 2023 Ford Everest. Watching each of them being transformed from factory-standard vehicles into speciality equipped off-road beasts has been both inspiring and educational. The opportunity to work on this Triton build has been fabulous, to transform it into the ultimate work ute but also a rig that would fulfil the adventure/lifestyle role.
As a carpenter, I knew exactly where I wanted to start with this Triton build, and its ability to carry tools and materials safely was a priority...
OUT THE BACK
THE first thing to come off the Triton was its factory tub with a visit to the team at T.C Boxes, which has been producing and installing trays and toolboxes since 2016. Over the last eight years the T.C Boxes range and quality has strode forward, the company embracing the latest technologies, materials and design/construction systems to produce some of Australia's leading products in this space.
For the Triton we fitted one of T.C Boxes 1650mm aluminium trays finished in a UV-stabilised black powder coat. Manufactured from rugged and lightweight premiumgrade aluminium, it features an 8mm aluminium C-channel main frame and a 40x40mm SHS subframe. The stylish appearance is enhanced by the flared guards that can accommodate up to 35-inch tyres. The tray also features a 1400mm trundle drawer.
Sitting on top of the tray we have fitted two toolboxes to securely store tools, as well as somewhere for the Projecta 12V DC Power Management Board and the Dometic fridge. There is further storage thanks to under-tray toolboxes.
