Hilux Canopy Install

About time I finally got around to doing this canopy install on the Lux.
I swapped my tray in preparation for this canopy and will be getting ready to fit it out in the next video.
Canopy is from perfection toolboxes at Everton Hills.

[@adamtangata5116]

[@bananasusyd]

[@kianm8441]

[@RyvalCreative]

Thanks !

[@usrr.artzzz]

finally the king is back! waited enough lol nice mate gotta make an exhaust video on a gopro near ur exhaust lol

[@RyvalCreative]

Haha thanks man! I know it’s been a little bit too long

[@danielreisinger105]

sick mate. i reckon a little diy white or black paint job for the tray would look sweet with the canopy

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah I am considering going black for the tray, I think it would look better

[@wildbutwaesome]

Churr bout time you posted

[@RyvalCreative]

Certainly was haha

[@wildbutwaesome]

@@RyvalCreative put the tray sides on the exposed tray will also make the canopy look less tall, worked for me

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah definitely planning to do that, probably should have waited to cut them down when I shortened the tray haha. I’ll be good at it now anyway

[@antonk1033]

been looking to do the same how much did it cost

[@amberparkin3589]

Hey mate, just wondering if you know what the kink height is on your canopy and the width of the top, looks mint and not too bulky

[@devanradomiljac2488]

When will you be fitting the inside out

[@THESITESUPERVISOR.]

What brand of mud guards are they mate ?

[@jacquesswarts473]

Hey man, I was just wondering if you have a shorter tray on the lux. I am trying to figure out what canopy to get for my space cab BT50 and cant decide on a length. Do you have any suggestions?

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate yeah it was originally a 2100mm tray and I removed the last couple of panels so it’s now about 1800mm long I went with 1100mm long canopy so I’d still have some tray space at the back but if you have a standard length tray you could go 1400mm long canopy and still have the same amount of left over tray as me

[@jasereynolds_]

Looks wicked mate. I’m liking the size of it, looks like it’ll have good weight distribution

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah the entire thing sits in front of the rear axle so should be perfect. Actually drives way better with some weight on the back too!

[@sphinxxz_trading3612]

Hey mate I’m late to the party just have a question my tray width is 1750 but most 1200mm canopy’s are 1780 does yours hang over by much ?

[@nathanfox8833]

Hey man, great video! Where did you end up getting the box? And what is your suspension setup? Looks mint!

[@RyvalCreative]

Thanks man! I got the canopy from perfection toolboxes at Everton hills and the suspension is fox with 2” ext springs, Blackhawk ucas, rg rear leaves, ext shackles and brake lines

[@nathanfox8833]

@@RyvalCreative thanks for the reply mate, great setup you’ve got!

[@GlobalTriathlonNetwork]

Did you make a video to install your mudguards. Where did you get them. Looks like you got them out a bit?

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah it was part of a tray build video I did. They are from swannys fabrication

[@noahjbarr]

Make the tray and canopy black🥵

[@stefanscampoli9419]

Hey mate, where did you get the canopy from? Looks mint

[@RyvalCreative]

Thanks the place was called perfection toolboxes

[@brydencook3777]

What bolts did you use to fit it to your tray ?

[@RyvalCreative]

Think it was just m10 or m12 bolts about 50mm long with thread all the way up. It doesn’t really matter what bolts you use because the weak point is the aluminium canopy not the fasteners so make sure you use big washers or fish plates even better

[@kayntdrose3516]

Looks sick mate, what’s the dimensions of ur canopy?

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate it’s 1100 long x 1750 wide x 860 high

[@kayntdrose3516]

@@RyvalCreative oh shoot rewatch ur vid and realised I just went to get my black powder coated 1100l canopy this morning from that shop as well owner Steve wang lol

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah that’s the man

[@robertrekiel6717]

hey dude what are the dims of the canopy?

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate it’s 1100 long x 1750 wide x 860 high

[@reesy22]

what size is this canopy as well bro

[@RyvalCreative]

Canopy is 1100

[@harvardkorok5255]

What’s the Kms on your lux man?

[@RyvalCreative]

About 120,000 on her now

[@michaeldawson9784]

Does the lux have an Insta page?

[@RyvalCreative]

Certainly does! @rc.adventures

[@reesy22]

bro what tyres they are huge

[@RyvalCreative]

They are 285/75 16

[@tasberridge1618]

Is this 1100 long canopy

[@RyvalCreative]

Yes it is

[@bendine4280]

Hey mate did you bolt through the frame of the canopy or just the false floor

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate my canopy doesn’t have any frame in the floor it’s just a big sheet of aluminium so just bolted through that and put some bigger washers on to spread the load a bit more

[@bendine4280]

@@RyvalCreative haven’t had any issues? I just got my canopy and just bolted through the ally floor aswell and was just worried that it wouldn’t be strong enough

[@RyvalCreative]

Nah no issues, it doesn’t seem to want to move anywhere. It would take a lot of force to rip those bolts through that floor which would probably only be possible from a crash or rollover or something like that at which point your canopy is probably going to be wrecked regardless

[@elliotbarron4913]

Tip would be to ditch those shitty t handles and get some whale tail locks 👍

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah I did that after the first month

[@ayetee8403]

Let us know when your canopy cracks in the corners.....

[@RyvalCreative]

No worries m9

[@touristyatol2086]

How's it holding up after 9 months?

[@RyvalCreative]

All good mate, no issues so far

[@lucassandic4339]

Where’s that thicc bloke I like 😍😍

[@RyvalCreative]

I’ll have to get him back for the next video 😘
