A Guide to Mitsubishi Triton Accessories: The Most Popular Accessories and Where to Find Them

Mitsubishi Triton is one of Australia’s most popular trucks. It is also one of the best work vehicles in the market because it can do almost everything – from towing heavy loads and carrying large numbers of people, to spreading earth with a front-end loader or clearing fallen trees with a hydraulic tree cutter.
Triton has been around for more than half a century now, which makes it one of the longest-serving vehicles on Australian roads today. Even with so many years under its belt, this truck still gets excellent reviews. As a result, owners can choose between a wide range of accessories to customise their Triton and make it excel in any particular area, whether off-roading or using it as the ultimate workhorse. Here are some of the most sought-after aftermarket accessories:

Engine Cooling System: A Guide to Overflow Tanks

If it weren’t for the car’s cooling system, the engine will be overheating just minutes after turning the ignition key. Engines need heat to work, but too much will cause damage to the point that metal parts start melding together and complete engine failure soon follows. Keeping parts cool is assigned to an elaborate network of components that extract the excess heat from the engine block.

A Guide to RCV Axles: Tough Off-Road Axles for Your Drivetrain

Australians may never have a shortage of opinions about whether rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles are better than their front-wheel (FWD), but there’s no getting around the fact that of the more than 20 million cars, caravans, and utes registered in Australia, the number of four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles in the country is the country’s fastest-growing segment.

Things to Consider Before Buying Ute Canopies

If you want practicality, and sheer go-anywhere capability, then get a ute. And if you need extra storage space for that same ute, fit it with a well-thought-out ute canopy. There are dozens of different designs that go nicely with double, extra or single cabs, fitted either with a tub, tray or simply bolt onto the chassis. And there are different material options too.

A Complete Guide to Honda Civic Sound Deadening: Reduce Noise, Vibration and Harshness Levels

Hatches are slowly and quietly disappearing from car lineups in most brands sold in Australia. And rarely will you see one making the top 10 sales charts. Thank utes and SUVs for changing Australia’s motoring tastes and the car landscape all within a matter of a few years. Die-hard motoring fans though are still holding onto their hot or warm hatches, as an alternative to the hordes of high-sitting, petrol-guzzling monstrosities. The Honda Civic Type R sits fair and square with the likes of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Hyundai i30N, the VW Golf GTi and any souped-up and turbocharged 4-cylinder rocket pumping close to 300bhp to the front wheels.

Car Headlights 101: LED vs. Halogen

Most carmakers now fit LEDs into the headlights of new vehicles. LEDs certainly have benefits over old-school halogens and even HIDs that were all the rage just a few years ago. But times have moved on, and so has technology. Better lighting options are now also available for older vehicles, and simple upgrade kits will bring better visibility and increased driving safety. What’s even more important is that prices have tumbled and are more than reasonable for what’s on offer.

Everything You Need to Know about Engine Conrods

Looking to inject new life into a tired engine? How about doing some mods? The engine internals is the first place to look if you’re after any substantial performance gains over what you’ve currently got. Changing out pistons, connecting rods, and crankshafts are the precursor to insane fun, both on the track and the road. This entails that you’ve already tweaked the engine for better air intake and exhaust, swapped out the injectors, maybe bolted on a turbo, and changed the timing profile on the cams. And any changes also imply an ECU tune to get everything in balance.

Everything You Need To Know About Steering Wheels


Of the seemingly limitless number of custom bolt-ons a person can add to a car, only 2 can be accomplished in a matter of minutes, yet still have the ability to change every aspect of how a car looks and handles … and maybe it’s no coincidence that they’re both round. You can swap on a new set of rims and tyres ( … an eye-watering costly proposition), or, you can just swap in a new steering wheel.
