StoneStomper for Mitsubishi
(Preview)
G'day. I was wondering if there is anyone out there with a 2015 MQ Mitsubishi Triton that has had the Stone Stomper fitted? As I am not sure which type of Bar option I need to fit across the back of the tub with the current shortish tongue, do I need to get a longer tongue or perhaps fit another type to suit.
