Hey guys! This vid is showing how I made a steel canopy to suit my dads 2011 ranger. Time was against me so many mistakes were made and shown in the video, It was powder-coated in dulux satin white so it somewhat matched the aging paint on the ute. Hope you enjoy watching.

Great effort and result considering the time constraints and lack of proper tooling. You gave it your best shot with the tools and skills available and you have to be happy with that. Sometimes getting it done is more important than having it perfect.

Really helpful video to see some of the fabrication approaches taken. Thanks for posting.

@Finley Jamir I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Cheers for the video mate I'm bout to start making one for my old bus so it was a good point in the direction I'm headed

@LukeC8412 2 года назад

i'm planning to buy a px ranger in next few months and my plans are to build a ute tray and then canopy after that, can't wait to hook into it

The 71 dislikes are made by people that have never had a go at building something

@kickinbackadventures3453 4 года назад

Mate well done, honestly it takes patience and knowhow to do this sort of stuff. I'm a boily and I defiantly don't have the patience for that 🤣 keep it up

@builddriverace 4 года назад

Kickin' Back Adventures thanks mate 🙏🏻 patience was getting pretty thin at the end of it 🤣

I Built my own Ute Canopy fully set up i never had any plans just made it up out of my head it had double bed full electronics i had so many people ask me to make them one

@cruza1289 8 месяцев назад

Awesome work mate. Credit to you and doesn’t look bad. Just wondering did you not use any rubber seals for the doors?

@joshuamcpherson9761 2 года назад

Hey man, Loved the video. I'm looking to make a canopy myself. Just wondering how you secured it to the ute?

@kingroy5352 3 года назад

Great video. Really well done, do what you know and buy the rest

@baileydance7427 Год назад

How do you prevent water getting in when you open the door?

@shevysteven7653 2 года назад

How's the racing going mate, is that diff centre holding up?

@samscott8727 5 лет назад

Hey mate awesome vid, you reckon a steel canopy with less reinforcing would weigh less than aluminium with more reinforcing?

@builddriverace 5 лет назад

sam scott Thanks mate! Steel typically being 2.5 times denser than alloy. I’d say the alluminium would still be lighter . Depending on just how much more reinforcing you put in. I only used the steel roof and supports because it was supposed to be able to bear some weight on top in some cases. Hope that’s helpful.

How much would it cost to build one canopy like this?

@chaiteawithmilk 3 года назад

Thanks for the vid. We're making one and were wondering about creating positive air pressure in the canopy to keep dust out (especially Northern Territory dust) but it looks like you didn't do this. How did it go for your dad? Any dust?

@builddriverace 3 года назад

Gday mate. Yeah I didn’t really think about that when building it. It’s got little to no dust on the inside after the year of use, if it did have some, I was going to slip some door rubber over the angle door frame to seal it up a bit.

@jennaanderson6106 2 года назад

A small van whirlybird on top would add positive pressure to it but no longer water tight if it's submerged

@serebbi Год назад

What type of material is the frames ( the walls) ? :D

@Zachatar 5 лет назад

I'm gonna have a go at building my own at home this is the closest vid i could find of what im going for, how has it held up? what's your dads thoughts on it? I think you done very well with the time you had cheers

@builddriverace 5 лет назад

Zach27 good stuff mate! Yeah it’s held up fine with the trip he did after the vlog and loading it up etc. He loves it and hasn’t requested any changes so that’s good. Thanks again 🤙🏼

@ap4x4 3 года назад

Hey mate, well done! What was the finished product for getting the roof on? Was it just tac and sika?

@builddriverace 3 года назад

Thanks mate. Yeah stitches and a heap of sika haha

@noelwhittle7922 2 года назад

and don't be 'that Guy' who backs something like this @16.56 right up to till the back tyres touch the kerb at the shopping centre footpath and has all this overhang intruding into the footpath.

@SH19922x 2 года назад

This was the dumbest possible way to build a canopy but i truly admire the tenacity Lol, if i hadve dug myself in a similar hole with a job i desperately attempted i would of had a cut out and started again or thrown it into the scrap bin as it stood. working hard no matter how stupid the task is half the battle of being succesful

@kamikazdz5042 4 года назад

Very good

@builddriverace 4 года назад

kamikaz dz Thankyou

@outlawdingo3020 4 года назад

Hay mate canopy looks mint what was the rough cost for the build?

@builddriverace 4 года назад

Thanks mate! I didn’t really keep tabs if the cost. But I think around a thousand bucks for material

@BeeeHonest 4 года назад

I think your build is amazing, but I had to stop watching the video because I get really dizzy with all the camera moving back and forth and focusing and unfocusing. sorry.

@builddriverace 4 года назад

BeeeHonest Thankyou for your feedback! And sorry about the filming Can you let me know what part just so I can try to improve my next videos?
