Simon’s “Pimp My Ride”, GWM Cannon
我最近從 GWM Wangara 購買了一輛新車，因為我的舊 Triton 就在她身上
最後的腿。我決定用她換貨並買一輛托盤車作為替代品。
我選擇 Cannon 主要是因為價格以及技術水平、舒適度和負載
承載能力。另外，它們對我來說看起來不錯。
I recently purchased a new car from GWM Wangara as my old Triton was on her
last legs. I decided to trade her in and get a tray back ute as a replacement.
I chose the Cannon mainly on price as well as the level of tech, comfort and load
carrying capacity. Plus, they look pretty good to me.
我開始升級拖車桿、Red Arc 拖車專業精英版、車窗貼膜和地墊。 全部由經銷商提供。 在購買頂篷時，有一些不錯的產品可供選擇。我 決定使用 1500 毫米長的派拉蒙鋼製天篷。這非常適合 托盤後部留有空間，可放置幾個油桶支架和一個備胎 載體。
I started the upgrades with a towbar, Red Arc tow pro elite, window tint and floor mats.
All supplied by the dealer.
When it came to buying the canopy there were a few good products to choose from. I
decided to go with the Paramount steel canopy 1500mm long. This fitted quite well onto
the tray with room to spare on the rear for a couple of jerry can holders and a spare wheel
carrier.
我還安裝了派拉蒙的托盤下工具箱。這些在儲存時非常方便 所有恢復裝備和工具。 I also fitted the under-tray toolboxes from Paramount. These come in handy for storing all the recovery gear and tools.
非常感謝我最好的朋友雅各幫我安裝頂篷 和工具箱。這是一個兩個人的工作。 A big thankyou to my best mate Jacob for helping me with the installation of the canopy and toolboxes. It was a 2-man job.
一旦地板鋪好，就該考慮我所在的一切的位置了 由於價格和可用性，我決定產品主要是 來自 4WD Supacentre。下圖是我臨時修復的接線 澳洲日長週末旅行。它還展示了靠前牆的 45 公升水箱。
Once the floor was in it was time to think about the positioning of everything that I was
going to put in. I decided due to price and availability that the products would mainly be
from 4WD Supacentre. The below picture is of the wiring I did as a temporary fix for the
Aussie day long weekend trip. It also shows the 45 litre water tank against the front wall.
正確的接線要整潔得多。最終的電氣設備包括 160w 太陽能電池板、25amp DC/DC充電器、200a/hr鋰電池、1500w逆變器、電池監視器、一對 安德森插頭和雙香菸插座。
The proper wiring is a lot tidier. The final electrics include a 160w solar panel, 25amp
DC/DC charger, 200a/hr lithium battery, 1500w inverter, battery monitor, a couple of
Anderson plugs and a dual cig socket.
天篷的另一側包括一台 85 公升的直立式冰箱、食品儲藏室、烤箱、一套 抽屜和 45 公升水箱。我還把雙重擊空氣壓縮機放在 後牆。它由拖桿上的安德森插頭供電。
The other side of the canopy consisted of an 85lt upright fridge, pantry, oven a set of
drawers and the 45lt water tank. I also put the double thumper air compressor against the
back wall. This is powered from an Anderson plug on the tow bar.
現在所有繁重的工作都已完成，是時候進行外部升級了。 我選擇 Falken Wildpeak AT 主要是因為價格，而且買 3 送 1 免費促銷是一個額外的獎勵。我之前買了一套備用合金輪圈，這樣我就可以 有2個合金備胎。我選擇了 LT275-65 R18 輪胎，因為它們有庫存並且看起來 在車上很棒。我還升級了懸架，配備了 Tough Dog 減震器和彈簧。 由於垃圾量較多，我將攜帶我選擇的500公斤恆載彈簧 後退。 Cannon 也標配後碟式煞車。
Now that all the heavy work had been done it was time for the external upgrades.
I went for the Falken Wildpeak AT’s due mainly to the price and that the buy 3 get one
free promotion was a bonus. I had previously bought a spare set of alloy rims so I can
have 2 spare tyres on alloys. I chose LT275-65 R18 tyres as they were in stock and look
great on the car. I also had the suspension upgraded with Tough Dog shocks and springs.
Due to the amount of crap, I will be carrying I chose 500kg constant load springs in the
back.
The Cannon also comes with rear disc brakes as standard.
我還安裝了 TJM 呼吸管、Sports 系列的防撞桿和 Kings 絞盤。裡面我 還有一台 Oricom CB 收音機。下圖顯示我們為下一次冒險做好了準備。
I also had fitted a TJM Snorkel, Bull bar from Sports range and a Kings winch. Inside I
also had an Oricom cb radio. The above picture shows us ready for the next adventure.
汽車上的其他配件包括。 2 x Kings 遮陽篷、2 x 後聚光燈、前燈 酒吧、車頂行李架，其上綁有回收軌道和車身底部保護裝置。
Other accessories on the car include. 2 x Kings awnings, 2 x rear spotlights, front light
bar, roof rack with recovery tracks strapped to it and underbody protection.
到目前為止，我已經行駛了 7450 公里，這輛車的乘坐體驗和舒適度都很棒。我 起初對 2 升渦輪增壓柴油引擎持懷疑態度。搭配 8 速 ZF 變速箱 到目前為止我還沒有失望。在越野方面，她已經證明了自己（現在我 知道要做什麼）。 把它包起來。不要低估這些中國製造的車輛。貼合度和表面處理都很棒 對於底部裝飾水平，您不會出錯。除了廚房什麼都有 下沉。 座椅舒適，資訊娛樂系統簡單易用，整體水平 設備非常出色。
So far I have done 7450 kilometres and the ride and comfort of this vehicle is fantastic. I
was at first sceptical of the 2lt turbo diesel engine. It is mated to an 8 speed ZF gearbox
and so far I have not been disappointed. Off road she has proven herself (Now that I
know what to do).
To wrap it up. Don’t discount these Chinese built vehicles. The fit and finish are superb
and for the bottom trim level you can’t go wrong. It has everything except the kitchen
sink.
The seats are comfortable, the infotainment system is easy to use and the overall level of
equipment is outstanding.
A big thanks to the product suppliers.
