Great looking rig. Did you happen to know the empty weight for the chassis mount canopy?
@HarryShennan3 ай бұрын
Hey guys, love your set up and what you do to show us all! Just a quick question, I have a ford ranger with similar accessories and about to make the jump to a fixed mount canopy from MRT. Just wondering if you went the 1650 or the 1800 canopy and if there is much weight difference between the two? Also curious as to what GVM upgrade you guys have. Cheers 😊
@dazzag16833 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching, we when for the 1650 canopy as recommended for a duel cab, I did not research an 1800 canopy at all so I’m not sure on the weight difference. I’m sure MRT would be able to give you that information. I opted for a pedders 3500kg GVM upgrade as I had pedders on the front and rear anyway, even though the rear shocks I had weren’t able to be upgraded so had to purchase another set. I would imagine most companies offer similar quality GVM upgrades. If you have any other questions about our setup I will be happy to answer them for you.

Hi great video thx awesome work, canopy looks great. I know you weighed car before the canopy install, did see the car weight in this video, can you tell me the weight difference between the tub and canopy and the new canopy thx
@asweadventureaus42645 ай бұрын
Hey, so when we got it weighed with the old tub and canopy it was 3035, and with the new chassis mount canopy it came in at 3145, so yes we did gain weight, but that’s because we now have a bigger fridge, 2 permanent mounted solar panels vs the portable one we used to have, not to mention everything else installed inside the new bigger canopy, oh and a much bigger awning than the one we had before. Our biggest concern was that we remain compliant with our weights and we are happy that we have achieved that, even with all the extras.

As someone who rides, even though im mid 50's, I can't imagine not having a bike.....I can see your justification, but you must have your reason's?
@asweadventureaus42645 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for your message, Darren and I have both ridden bikes since young teenagers, there was only a few short years since then that we’ve been without bikes, don’t get me wrong, we both love riding, Darren already misses not having a bike so maybe one day he will get another bike. There’s a couple of reasons, long story but what sealed the deal for me is that our daughter was killed in a motorcycle accident 16 months ago, she was a confident rider herself, but on this day she was a pillion passenger and put her trust in a ‘friend’ who chose to speed, and lost control. He survived, she died at the scene, forever 31. Never say never, there may come a day when I’m ready to ride again, but until then!

@asweadventureaus4264 My heart goes out to you both....that's just terrible. I'm from Canberra and was the 1st at the scene to a roadbike accident (I was on a dirtbike at the time) and it made me sell all of my bikes as well, road and dirt!.....It had such an effect on me. For over a year I couldn't look at another bike! It took a lot of soul searching to realise, the bike itself isn't dangerous and therefore I started riding again, although I choose who I ride with know very carefully. I wish you all the best and I've subscribed to your channel ❤️

Hey mate. why did it have the 355 upgraded tail lights in the workshop, but then when it rolled out it had the standard one?
@asweadventureaus42646 ай бұрын
Hey mate, well spotted, unfortunately the 355 taillights are extremely sensitive and wouldn’t work with our tow pro. The tow pro takes a feed from the taillight circuit and those lights didn’t like it, so we had no option other than to get the standard lights, which work great. A bit disappointing but hey, gotta pick your battles. The cost difference was refunded.
