Mitsubishi L200 S5| Security Upgrade |Canopy Issues Warranty |Modification Update |Mitsubishi Triton 

I have an MR. Here in OZ. The canopy was the standard one fitted by Mitsubishi. HAd the same issue with the poor fit of the rear window and the opening even when locked. It took two pick-ups from my house and a return to the dealer (round trip of 4 hrs) to get it fived! The first time they said it was all fine and I filmed it and showed to the truck driver who picked it up and said this is the problem. Now, it works fine. Now I'm going to go look out for the cracks you mentioned! Wouldn't even think to look if I hadn't seen this video. Thanks mate.

Morning Fella. Great video as always. Nice idea about the wheel security device. But I just KNOW I'd forget that was on there & drive off. I've got the AUTOWATCH GHOST 2 immobiliser fitted to mine, a few hundred quid, but well worth it. I've got a different rear canopy on mine, but in the 5.5 yrs of aving it since brand new, I've ad the glass replaced TWICE as the plastic comes unbonded from the glass. I've got the OEM water defence system as you've got, and I'm liking it so far. It does seem to hold the water ingress at bay. If you remember I mentioned aving it fitted to u in one of your previous videos. As I say, I went ahead had it done, and seems to b ok so far. As you say, mine is my pride & joy too. 8.8k in nearly 5.5 yrs.... High days en holidays it goes out 😊😊😊😊😊 Keeo up the great work. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Alan L200

Me again. Forgot the other bits u mentioned. I've got the OEM LED FOG LIGHT'S too, that I purchased as an add on. As u say, great but of kit. Nice en bright. I've got the ON DOOR FRAME OEM wind deflectors, in 5.5 yrs, ad no problem with the at all. The only reason I like them over the Heko ones is, that they allow u to av the window cracked open more, should u require it without rain getting in. As the Heko one's r quite small in the amount of open window they allow b4 rain gets in. But different horses for different courses en all that. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Alan L200

Canopy that I’ve ordered is $4200 (Aust$) and it’s not a Mitsubishi make but by ARB. Apparently here it is being custom made to my Triton. 2012mn.

Had the same problem with the hardtop on mine. All the same problems. My car was supplied by an online broker. The company the broker bought it off tried to pull a fast one. They must had a second hand hardtop sitting around in their workshop. They painted it the same colour as my car and fitted on my truck. When they come to replace all the perished window rubbers you could see where they had not painted some of it. Cut a long story short. They ended up supplying me a brand new hardtop directly from truckman. Which for some reason is a better quality than the ones supplied to Mitsubishi

Always a problem with the canopy, I bought the original canopy from Mitsubishi it was badly installed, I wasn't happy with it considering the car is brand new. Also when they installed the liner they left the metal shavings from drilling and did cut out the holes for the tie-down just behind the wheel archer's, so the inner bows out. At least with this MQ canopy no water leaks or rust. The MN canopy that i had all the side windows rusted, it leaked from the back window, and the dealer did want to replace it under warranty, until I said the I will call Mitsubishi. The side steps also rust, my driver side rusted, the warranty manager came out to look, he acused me of driving through salty water even though the passenger side was OK, I told the idiot that I wasn't in the habit of driving through salt only on two wheels, he finally replaced both side steps. Now the MQ right side step is starting to rust.

I used to work on these. The trunkman tops are shite including the plastic clamps. Portbury Docks.

Nice looking truck

Got a story about the water defence it was well

Just ordered the rain defence kit from Mitsubishi for my truckman canopy, cheers for all the helpful advice mate, you're a legend and sound like a canny lad. I'd never have known they did one, and got the bonnet deflector too, drums are lovely and matt black already. I'm picking it up on Wednesday this week and any experience with the Goodyear Wranglers which are fitted? I'll deffo get the 265's (I think if i remember correctly?) when they're due for new ones like you suggested. Egr delete lead pre-ordered and paid for (week delay, sold out) Love you man, you're awesome

Had the same issues from new in 2017 with my Truckman top, it leaked like a sieve from the tailgate and the seals on the sliding windows leaked . I noticed cracking on the rear window plastic in 2019 but thought it would be a cheap replacement so took no action. When I did contact Truckman mid 2020 they were not interested, product out of warranty, just offered a discount on a new rear screen because the plastic bit is an integral part . I would never buy another Truck-man product again, they are expensive and very poor quality. They could not even identify the canopy from their own label! I use the L200 for transporting my dog, so not huge use of tailgate.

We have a canopy from hardtops when you wash ur car the water come a in the canopy is that normal or am I just being picky ?

How do you even check for auto transmission fluid? I can’t find the dip stick anywhere

Hi there! really enjoy your vids! I just bought myself a 2016 l200 and i think the suspension seem very stiff... I can feel every little bump through the car and in the steering wheel. Nothing is broken, i've tried another one who feels just the same. Do i need softer springs or what do you think? My old isuzu Dmax from 07 handles pots n bumps alot better :S

The lock on my l200 truckman hardtop has stopped locking. Can you recommend anywhere around Newcastle to get it fixed?

I just noticed do have headlight washers on your car? Do they automatically turn on if the headlights heat up? I wanted to increase the wattage from 35 watts to 55 watts but hesitated because of the extra heat. I would love to upgrade this feature on my MQ? Do think you can get me some part numbers? I tried here on Australia but could not find any or ebay. Thanks. Rich

Cheers dude. Could you email me the links to all the mods you put on your truck?
