The Ultimate Canopy Package from MRT | Turning my DMAX into a touring beast! 

Thanks mate! Can’t wait to get cracking on the fit-out 🙂

Thanks Scott, I'm absolutely stoked with it and can't wait to get started on the fitout! Best of luck with your new 79! 🙂🍻

Thanks mate! 🍻

Thanks mate!

I'll be doing a full runthrough of the rooftop tent in a future video. 🙂

Haha that was at my request - I asked Darren to give me a full runthrough of the whole setup. 🙂

Thanks mate! Here's a link to the tail lights: ledautolamps.com/combination-lamps/583-355-series.html?search_query=355arwm&results=2

Hey Tahlia! MRT actually came up with a pretty cool solution for mounting the tent and awning, they welded metal extrusion on to the roof of the canopy that I can slide bolts into to mount stuff pretty much anywhere - that's how both the tent and the awning are mounted on mine. Another option though is using these brackets that Drifta makes, as most of the rooftop tent manufacturers use the same outer shell these should fit on the Dune tents too: www.drifta.com.au/product/reinforced-awning-bracket/

Hi mate, the canopy has aluminium extrusion welded to the roof that bolts slide in, that's what I've mounted the tent to for a more secure fitment than using the factory mounting system that comes with these tents. 🙂

Sure did mate! It went to Pedders for a GVM upgrade pre-rego. 🙂

Not really, I had my previous MRT canopy for about 4 years and can't fault it, so made sense to me to go with them again for the new build. 🙂

@@explorebound fair enough. If it ain’t broke 😂. Definitely looks better than the old one

Hey mate, happy to help with any questions you have! I actually put together a vid on the first 5 mods I'd make to any new 4wd if you're interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VsgkOWR5lPs.html

Thanks mate! I’m planning to do a full weigh in with/without the canopy soon so will share the results 🙂

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks mate! Yep saved a bit of money that way by not having to pay Isuzu for a tray or tub that I wasn't going to use - only downside is that it can't be registered until it has a tray so I got Isuzu to transport the vehicle to MRT and back again for registration.

Hey mate, I've got custom extrusion rails on the canopy roof, check out 07:36 of this vid for more info ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sJBYfWynvzw.html

Hi mate, they're not made in China, MRT's got their very own manufacturing operation in Vietnam now so they have full control of the quality - super happy with how refined this new one is, a noticable step-up from the older model I had on the Ranger. 👍

@@explorebound Vietnam now, they’re really gettin’ around 😁😁 mate, as long as you’re happy with it, it lasts and does what you need it to do, that’s all you can ask. Just a shame they don’t make them here but then they’d be twice the price too. I wish you well with it and can’t wait to see your clips moving forward testing it out in the bush 👍👍

Hey mate, this entire tray + canopy package is about 14k installed with all the extras and powdercoating. 🙂

@@explorebound thanks, been looking for a decent budget option in Perth and these might be the company to go with.

@@007oli I would definitely recommend them, my old MRT tray + canopy was faultless over the past 4 years and this new gear is even better - very happy. 👍

I’m hoping to do a full cost breakdown of the whole DMAX setup at some point 🙂

@@explorebound can you include a discount code for one the same 😜🤪 watching your last set-up I have no doubt this one will be fantastic and versatile. I'm extremely jealous 😩

Can’t wait mate, this rigs gonna be friggin mint 👌

Hey mate, the central locking has its own dongle 👍

@@explorebound cheers, how's the GVM kit going? can't decide on what kit to go. How much did your Pedders kit cost?

Hey mate, the entire setup including tray, canopy, installation and internal extras (pantry, drawer, keyless entry) was a touch over 14k

Yep it had the Pedders GVM upgrade installed pre-rego 👍

@@explorebound I got the same through Brisbane Isuzu - Pedders 3.45t GVM. This was for my Norweld tray and canopy weighing approx 470kg with 40L watertank, electrical package, ARB twin compressor and 130L Bushman upright fridge. Its great having a weather proof, safe and function tray and canpy!

Hey mate, yeah for sure! This tray and canopy with all the extras is about 14k installed. MRT lists the prices of most of their stuff on the website too if you wanted to see how much a fitout to your requirements would cost. 👍

Thanks mate and no it’s not a Drifta tent 👍 (that being said a friend of mine has a Drifta and loves it)

@@explorebound Glad to hear. Not really bagging Drifta out just think its weird not to have a solid floor on a tent that costs around $3500. It like your old rooftop tent from dune up upside-down and 3 times the cost...

@@explorebound yeah I was surprised to see they don’t have a solid floor but a friend has one and said it hasn’t created any dramas yet and he absolutely LOVES IT !

Hi mate, this setup is exactly what I wanted, the quality is great and my last MRT canopy lasted 4+ years without a single fault so I trust the brand. No benefit to me spending thousands more on custom fabrication to get the same end result just to say it was custom.

@@explorebound if it works its good I agree. How much was it if you don't mind me asking?

Tray and canopy setup including the internal fitout, central locking and powdercoating is about 14k installed 🙂

@@explorebound that's my point. I got mine done custom made, 2 different colours powder coated for 11k

Nice one mate, I've never heard of a custom lift-off canopy and tray package for that cheap so definitely a winner. 👍 The extras definitely make the difference though, my canopy + tray alone is only about $6k so only fair to compare the final prices if yours came with undertray drawer, undertray toolboxes, remote central locking, drawer modules on the inside, spare wheel holder, jerry can holder, drop down ladder on the rear, electrics wired into the canopy, custom mounting brackets for sonar, camera etc, upgraded roof bracing for additional roof weight and custom roof rail mounting system for the tent.
