Hilux Canopy Install 

Yeah it was part of a tray build video I did. They are from swannys fabrication

Haha thanks man! I know it’s been a little bit too long

Yeah I am considering going black for the tray, I think it would look better

Yes it is

Certainly was haha

@@RyvalCreative put the tray sides on the exposed tray will also make the canopy look less tall, worked for me

Yeah definitely planning to do that, probably should have waited to cut them down when I shortened the tray haha. I’ll be good at it now anyway

Hey mate yeah it was originally a 2100mm tray and I removed the last couple of panels so it’s now about 1800mm long I went with 1100mm long canopy so I’d still have some tray space at the back but if you have a standard length tray you could go 1400mm long canopy and still have the same amount of left over tray as me

Think it was just m10 or m12 bolts about 50mm long with thread all the way up. It doesn’t really matter what bolts you use because the weak point is the aluminium canopy not the fasteners so make sure you use big washers or fish plates even better

No worries m9

How's it holding up after 9 months?

All good mate, no issues so far

Hey mate it’s 1100 long x 1750 wide x 860 high

They are 285/75 16

Canopy is 1100

Hey mate it’s 1100 long x 1750 wide x 860 high

@@RyvalCreative oh shoot rewatch ur vid and realised I just went to get my black powder coated 1100l canopy this morning from that shop as well owner Steve wang lol

Yeah that’s the man

Thanks man! I got the canopy from perfection toolboxes at Everton hills and the suspension is fox with 2” ext springs, Blackhawk ucas, rg rear leaves, ext shackles and brake lines

@@RyvalCreative thanks for the reply mate, great setup you’ve got!

Hey mate my canopy doesn’t have any frame in the floor it’s just a big sheet of aluminium so just bolted through that and put some bigger washers on to spread the load a bit more

@@RyvalCreative haven’t had any issues? I just got my canopy and just bolted through the ally floor aswell and was just worried that it wouldn’t be strong enough

Nah no issues, it doesn’t seem to want to move anywhere. It would take a lot of force to rip those bolts through that floor which would probably only be possible from a crash or rollover or something like that at which point your canopy is probably going to be wrecked regardless

Thanks !

Certainly does! @rc.adventures

Thanks the place was called perfection toolboxes

Yeah I did that after the first month

About 120,000 on her now

Yeah the entire thing sits in front of the rear axle so should be perfect. Actually drives way better with some weight on the back too!

I’ll have to get him back for the next video 😘
