Well it seems like a lifetime ago that we ordered our canopy but in reality it was just the 22nd of December 2011. The tray has now been removed and the ute looks naked without it.
Tuesday 6th March:
We drove to Warwick today and booked into a motel then dropped the ute at the factory so that they could make an early start at 06:00 Wednesday morning. The forty three kilometre drive from Woodenbong through to Legume is a real ball tearer without any weight in the back and with 600 kilo suspension our brains were bruised by the time we reached Warwick.
Received a call at 13:00 today to say that the canopy was now installed. The drive home with the added weight of the canopy was an absolute pleasure.
We are now booked into have the fridge wiring completed and have our reversing camera installed.
Cool, it is looking really great. And yes, I am now a follower. Cheers Jan
ReplyDeleteLooks excellent Ross.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a shame to get dust on it.
Well done.
looks great Ross, the rear drawer is an excellent idea, looks to be sealed ? it will need to be.
ReplyDeleteHow are the spare wheels attached? i see the bolt on section, is it reinforced inside? with Ally or Steel?
Now go get it dirty :-)
Mick,
ReplyDeleteYes the rear drawer is sealed from both dust and water and houses high lift jack, recovery gear, axe and long handled shovel. It's very convenient.
Originally told that the spare wheel mounts were lockable but that was not the case so I mirror reversed the mounts and now have them on the inside of the canopy. It works really well. I also installed rubber mounts on the rear of the canopy so there is now a gap between rubber and canopy.
Loved your latest Ningaloo photos.
