Good buy. Consider put rubber mat between canopy and tray. Less noise due to canopy vibration, prevents rubbing wear and allows moisture to evaporate/dry out.

Bunnings. Didn’t have quite what you needed. Surprise surprise, story of my life.

Dunn and Watson is the place to go for gas struts and door locks. They have a video on how to work the exact power and length you'll need for your struts. Highly recommended

Before you weld the cracks drill holes at the end of them to stop them from cracking any further in the future Looks sick tho 👌🏼

Mate you hit the jackpot with the canopy! Lick of paint will make it look perfect👍

I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your new canopy. I enjoy watching your videos

I think livin4x4 need to fling you a “touring capabilities” sticker

Nice score on the canopy, mate. Looking forward seeing the fit out.

Can’t wait to see the canopy build boys 🤙🏽

Love me a bargain!! Good on ya fellas 🍻🤙

Hey lads, i've built lots of homemade canopies, RV super centre in ferntree gully have heaps of different strut lengths and strengths, also have heaps of other cool canopy and camping stuff, worth the trip!

Good videos boys can see this channel going big keep up the good work

Fair score mate, looks like a good headstart on the canopy side of ya build. Done more in the last 6 months on yout rig than i have in the last 2 yrs hahaha.

Adds more genuine charm to the mighty GQ fellas! She be right, it does the job! 😜 Looking forward to the next vid👌🏽

Good on ya young fellas. Exactly what I did in my 20's. Only difference is that I had when I started and Digital 8 films when started uploading to you tube.

Ally half the weight, but half the strength but double the price. Steel all the way

if you have the gear, make a battery box for under the tray behind the cab, keeps the weight down low and centred, and more room in the canopy

For a budget car, looks mint Liam!

Good to hear the Mexican word grouse is still used, I've been in WA for years now and the only time I hear that word apart from me is when talking to mate over east, cheers.

Nice what a steal 🤙

Hell yeah, I've pretty much built me whole rig off gumtree and Fb market , works out way better as long as you buy things you'r not going to need the warranty for

Budget all the way 👍👍

You can fit a kickass 120AH slimline behind the passenger seat in GQ patrol ute as a dual battery. Just finished my setup.

Hey lads love the video just my opinion I don't think you need all the jump cuts in the video the kind of person that watches this video doesn't mind if it goes an extra minute without the vid staggering every few seconds. Cheers.

Well done fellas. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍🍺🍺

don’t forget you gotta get some 35”s. running some in my gu ute only complaint is brakes aren’t the best anymore

SCORE !!!! get some conveyor belt up bung that under the canopy and bolt through it don't use soft spongy rubber bloody good price for what you got that's for sure.

do more canopy and touring mod videos please x

Hay boys from Eltham boys 👍👍👍👍👍👍

bunnings goliath gas struts (put them on my bonnet) 250nm is a good amount

Try your local wreckers they'll have what you need in buckets

You had a Bursons and a Repco over the road. Did you try them?

Those struts from Bunnings are the go, everyone uses them there’s no such thing as to heavy?

Eltham!

im getting a leafy gq ute soon any tips?

the shovel

Go easy on them jump cuts in the video edit 😂.

Old eltham bunnings

Great video, just some friendly advice. Try minimise your jump cuts mid sentence

Nice video, however the super aggressive jump cuts is a little jarring

What about doing a cab lift instead of dropping the tray?

Supercheap sell gas sturts too

What r u doin with the work lights

You need to lower the tray or do a body lift

Bunnings is where I get my struts

Should have tried tjm

Get an upright fridge

What’s the size of the canopy mate? I’m trying to buy one for my TD42

I’m a teenager and I’m looking for a Nissan 4x4 but nothing good with the money I have got any suggestions

where are ya respraying the whole thing

That’s Waltham Bunnings

should do nicks GU patrol vs James's GQ patrol witch one is better

you boys from eltham?

Effen beauty! There are online guides for calculating the struts you need - I bet even one of those Bunnings struts would work. Here is an example link: www.strutswest.com.au/how-to-calculate-the-gas-strut-length-and-force-required/ The force required relates to the weight of the panel AND the distance from the hinge line and the open angle. Further out along the panel, less force. The angle rand lower mounting point are determined by the fully extended length of the strut. Your phone calculator can handle the maths.

Over rated stuts might be the go by the time you factor in where it lifts from

How many cuts do you want

As if you guys were in eltham 😂

Love your work can't go wrong with that and a hell of a good price, i got my tray and canopy for 1500 go onto my KZread Page and have a look at my set up haha keep up the good works guys

Man, the footage around 5:30 is jarring to watch, way too many jump cuts

300bucks bargain !

Not a fan of the editing out all the gaps gave me a head ache !!!!!!

Old mate needs to calm down, no need to speak like that without knowing the situation. Rule #1 of radio communication is if you haven't had positive confirmation the message has been received, you assume it has not. He is just showing he's ignorance of proper communication protocol by getting knickers in a knot.
