Too HEAVY? Weighing My 4wd Canopy Setup 

Even RU-vid has faith in you. Your video was at the top of my news feed. I look forward to the videos as they come. 🍻

Glad to have you both back ✌️ I loved how you promoted your time out on your channel, great work Dan 👍

Just got home from my walk and saw your thumbnail... It put a huge smile on my face. 😊. Good to see U guys again 🤘🤘🤘

Great to see you back and refreshed!

Glad to have you back. Your build has given some inspo for my future build to come ❤

Great video mate, and welcome back! 😀. The big Maxy is looking awesome!

Welcome back !! Love your work.

Good to see you are both happy and back 🎉😊

Welcome Back Guys , looking forward to your next adventures and what ever else you put out as it’s always informative & fun 🤩

Welcome back. Thanks for the reminder. I gotta do that myself and get my 4WD weighed. I think I'm slowly approaching GVM when I'm packed for full camping/touring mode. The only saving grace is that I have upgraded my entire brake system for a heavy duty version. But still, I'd like my rig to weight a lot less, if it can.

Always good to have you guys back 😊

Great to see you guys back! 👌🏼

The better half was wrong. That is a first! :) We bought a camper some time ago and as we were checking it out, my Mrs. said - "our fridge won't fit in that slide out". BS, I said, it'll fit in easy. The fridge didn't fit by 5mm too high. Good to have you guys back, and yes, we all need "that time".

It's like your annual holiday guys, you need a break now an than. Looking forward to the new clip. Stay safe!

You’re looking fresh. Welcome back ❤

Glad to see you back online! Hope you had a great break.

Welcome back guys, good episode as I am about to do a canopy build soon, I have most of the bits, just got to fit it out now and this gives me a decent ballpark to work from & a bit more food for thought. Cheers

Glad you're back mate 👍👍👍 2022, 4x4 Dmax crewcab ute has a gvm of 2165kg cerb weight and a load rating of 998kg. IIRC there's a roof line load limit of 50kg ...... not 100% sure but in 2005 a spare tyre and a full gerry can was the insurance load limit for a roof rack.

Welcome back guys, loving your videos. Stumbled upon your videos recently whilst researching canopy builds and 12v setups. I've definitely borrowed and incorporated a few of your ideas in my canopy setup. Enjoy the Monkey Mia trip. I was there 11 years ago and loved it. The flies do get a little annoying but it's totally worth it. Watch for the emus at Monkey Mia too, they'll come right up to you and snatch anything not nailed down. The dolphin feeding sessions are also a must.

Welcome back Thanks for sharing

Hey guys, So great to see you back, hopefully the break allow you to feel a bit better about things. You have created a great channel and looking forward to seeing what comes up in the future 🙂

Good to see you guys again

Welcome back guys looking forward to great videos and content which you are very capable of 😂

I started watching awhile ago and you've both come along way with how you approach the presentation of your channel, good to have you back. hope you continue for a long time to come and I find your content both informative and interesting. good luck with the future.

Good to have you back. Quality content is worth the "weight" 🙂 My aim is to only take what I need although I'm not always successful at this! You'll love Steep Point and Francois Peron area and have the perfect set up for it.

Great content guys. Love it.

hey guys great to have you back😊I put a 90lt water tank under the tray which is only 110mm high so fits between the ribs,works great as when our poptop caravan runs out we drive to water source and transfer into van🙂 looking forward to your new trips.

sorry bit late to seeing video welcome back im doing mine soon

Interesting - We may have to check our DMAX 🙂

hi guys great that your back i have just had the "explorer pack and tray " put on my duel cab hilux went with just bare ali look and love it guys at MRT perth reckon it was the first bare (smooth) ali one they had done cheers also for the code word in your earlier vids pick up the pantry for free as a bonus take care look forward to shark bay vids as i hoping to get to dirk hartog soon

Welcome back!

Francois Peron national Park is amazing, I stayed at South Gregories. The whole area is incredible, the colours will make for some great filming. Actually going up to steep point and staying at shelter bay this September, can't wait.

Welcome back 🙏 ☺️ 😊 Great to see you both, yeah my duelcab weighs around 2900 and that's without a gvm upgrade, over gvm I'm sure

Any idea of the base weight of the tray, and the canopy. Just waiting for my MRT quote to come thru.

Keep up the good work

Welcome back mate! This was a good video, and was really good information for me as I'm considering getting an ally canopy too, but my suspension isn't rated for 500kg. Not sure if it's worth forking out the $12k+ for the canopy, plus another $1k for new springs with 500kg constant. Anyway, looking forward to the Shark Bay videos!!

You forgot to mention the trundle draw under the tray 😉

Your D-Max is starting to look tough. Must be the lower RTT and wider wheels.

2900! Holy crap!

Love your videos mate, where are the plastic draw tubs in the back from?

My dmax with canopy and fitout rtt and 270 awning water tank bullbar rocksliders with luggage for 2 comes in at around 3.1T. I think the message here is no touring dual cab can remain under factory gvm and needs a gvm upgrade. Good video, if ur ever in canningvale they have a DOT approved weighbridge that weighs individual axles. Interesting to know ur weights And finally pedders do a load measuring on board scales .. what a complete rip off... 3 and a half grand.

Cool

Bear in mind that any GVM 'upgrade' may create issues with any future warranty claims.

5:35 Ooo how you have fallen. A Maloo to an Astra 😦😅

What sort of fuel economy do you get with a fully loaded rig. Do the dmax and ranger compare?

Yep it doesn't take much to go over . Less is more . I have gone back to basics and saved heaps in doing so , it's great to have all the mod cons but you can go without

so your canopy is 520kgs curious what a ute back alone would weigh, 150kgs-200kgs??

What suspensions do you have ?

Did you have full tank of fuel? 🤔 also awesome lake, good for r/c car and flying r/c planes ahaha

What's your rear axel rated to. And how much weight have you got on it? If it's over, don't comment here for insurance purposes wink wink.

Hi mate Nice rig good info only critasism

You didn't do the front and rear Axel loads so that's not proving anything

Do you still interested in keep talking our partnership?😊

3T is what my cruser weighs with all the fruit

Blessings, John 3:16. Jesus loves you.

Your bullbar is unnecessary and just adds weight you could better spend in other places
