Snugtop Canopy

Our Snugtop canopy was ordered in May last year, and after a nine-month wait to have it made and shipped from the US, it has finally arrived. 


It was delivered to and installed by Carbitz 4WD Fitout Solutions. There was quite a bit of prior preparation, which included sealing areas of the tub with black automotive sikaflex.

We'd also purchased a pre-cut sponge complete bed seal kit from the US. 
 
 

The latest addition for "Betty" is these Bilstein 5160 remote reservoir shock absorbers installed to the front and rear. Compared to a traditional shock absorber, the remote reservoir increases cooling capacity and wheel travel to optimize overall performance.



Next month's project will be installing a lithium battery and associated wiring to run our Engel fridge.
