Finally an actualy customer review/setup of one. Been looking at one for my ranger but unsure.

Great video! Looking at one of these for my business to keep equipment clean and dry

Basically a very close copy of the RSI and RLD canopies from South Africa. I have the RSI canopy on my MR Triton and I am very happy with it.

this video is a life saver

thanks for the video mate came handy when i did mine

Hi did you find any ? I just ordered from alibaba. Tomorow it should arrive. Is is good one ?

Nice vid mate, seen these on eBay and wondered if they were any good!

Cheers mate, video helped a lot. I’ve just finished putting mine together for the Amarok. I’m pretty sure those left over split washers are to go on the opposite side to the bolt/washer on the front and back pieces, rather than in between. That’s where I ended up using them anyway.

Nice mate! Be good to see your 12v setup as I’m looking at the same canopy eventually!

Hi liam, no worries, i will likely run through the 12v setup in a future video.

They are a good canopy for the price :). I recommend getting the tailgate seal kit too for your set-up too. Also try to get a raised airintake if you can if Ur going to be doing a lot of dusty driving. The Meredith one is good :)

Yes I agree, great for the price. Yes the tailgate seal would be a good idea, wish I had ordered one of those too. Unfortunately won't have enough time to wait for it to turn up before we head of again. And the raised intake is a good idea too, thanks for the tips!

Nice video , learning a lot , but do you have the colour code for wire up the third break light ?

The bluetack stuff is called butyl rubber. Same stuff as those sounded deadener sheets people use in the doors and cab

Any water or dust getting in mate??

Hey mate. Can someone undo the screws/hinges on top to open/remove the side/rear doors? Hoping this ain’t the case. But can you confirm?

Hi I think I saw a video of you and your family heading in a big trip. How did the canopy handle this? Did you find the side doors large enough and well built?

Hi Mathew, yes we are currently travelling around Australia full time. The canopy has been great so far, the side doors are very easy to open and smooth and yes plenty large enough, I can easily get things in and out the sides.

hi mate, does this canopy need any drills to the tub?

How have the hinges held up? are they steel or plastic?

The original hinges were aluminium I believe. We have actually just replaced the hinges this week after almost 12 months of use. We will be making an updated canopy review video in the next couple of weeks!

What colour wires did you connect to for the brake light

@griffinsgetaway

Жыл бұрын

Hi Stephen, from memory, it was a white and black wire. The black wire is the positive wire and the white wire is negative. I just wired it into the trailer plug. Positive wire to the brake signal pin and negative wire to the ground pin.

These canopys cost about $1600 when buying from Alibaba, cheaper (and custom branded) when you buy quantity for the most modern model vehicles. But they take 40 days sea freight to arrive. Australian retailers are far too greedy. Trying to extract $500 - $1000 per sale. Write to the suppliers and complain. Aussie retailers need to focus on volume sales and happy customers. They think that its a once off sale... but its not. Customers that save momey on the canopy come fwd to buy more accessories and refer more customers too them. Greedy aussie retailers.

basically all these steel and aluminum canopies are all made in China custom branded to your fav local brand.. and theres nothing wrong with that but they try to take far too much profit and some even try to claim their custom branded units are locally made BS.

Great video thank you for sharing, where can I purchase the canopy please, do you have a link? How much should I expect to pay, Cheers!

Hey mate, yeh still happy with it for price, but the paint is not great, hinges are not good either, I have repainted the outside and put new hinges on it. Also one of the gas struts had failed.

Did you ever figure out what the gaskets (you call them spacers in your video) are for?
