That table is absolutely brilliant engineering.

Pretty insane hey! Such a good idea

[@Adam-ef7mh]

The colour combo on the bull bar looks amazing.

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Thanks mate, wanted something a little different and we’re stoked with how it turned out👌🏼

Wonder if the trundle lid being side opening could double as a table or something 🤔

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

We just use it as a bench top, works well👍🏼

[@LochieCondon]

Gday mate. Just watching your video and notice the hinges on your canopy. Iv just built my own canopy but I’m interested in your hinges. Is there anyways I could get a closer look at them? Cheers

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Hey mate, they’re called aluminium waterproof hinges I’m pretty sure. Msg us on Instagram and I’ll send you some closer photos of it

Thanks Mate!

[@juliecasey3068]

Hi mate awesome rig are you able to elaborate more about the rims/off sets ?

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Thanks! Yeah they’re a pos 15 offset, rims are boss vapours. 17x9 rim with 265/70 R17 tyres. I find the pos 15 to sit perfect and keeps it legal also👍🏼

[@4WDG]

Freaking awesome 😎

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Cheers🤙🏼

[@brendanmccormick984]

how much were the rims the lux looks mint

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Around $300 a rim. Cheers mate🤟🏼

[@brentwismer5602]

Really impressed with your set up mate. I’m about to embark on the same journey. I’m also in Cairns and would love to shout you a beer one day and yarn about the pros and cons. I’m trying to choose between CGI, Norweld (seems expensive and doesn’t have the modular fit) and the Mitsalloy…probably my favoured option to date. Well done mate, good set up.

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Cheers mate! Yeah sounds good mate, you can msg me on our Instagram or Facebook also if you have any other questions, the mits is the best thing I’ve ever spent money on. So good!

[@13breno13]

Hey mate, question on the 12v panel. I've got myself a MITS canopy and about to wire up the 12v, my plan was to run all the wires behind the panel as much as possible but one thing I didn't factor in was the unistrut channels. Did you drill holes through that with grommets to run cables through? I'm thinking that's the way to go but also wondering if you went that route how you manage with taking the panel on and off with the cables going through the holes?

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Hey mate, yeah I drilled through unistrut and put grommets and made the cables long enough so I can drop the panel when needed👌🏼👍🏼

[@13breno13]

@@daysoffdownunder3221 thanks for that info mate. I thought that might have been the case, good to know I'm on the right track!

[@kainebarker4185]

Nice build, looks like you put a lot of thought into it. Interested why you didn’t stick with Redarc for you inverter? Cheers.

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Thanks man, sure did! The same size redarc inverter is $1700 compared to $329 for the renogy one, it’s been awesome so far

[@neilrobynmunro3096]

Thanks for the run through. Just wondering what diesel lockable cap you have on your fuel cap. We have just had a tray fitted and am finding it hard to find a lockable fuel cap. Would appreciate your info on the brand you went for.

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

No worries, glad you enjoyed! It’s a Tridon TFL237 from super cheap auto

[@neilrobynmunro3096]

Appreciate you reply.

[@arsenalphill742]

Really nice set up. I keep looking lately at yours and others rigs and it is doing my head in a bit. I've just ordered a Rugged X but with a Ute Master Lid. The thing that bugs me most is that I can't fit a bull bar on it, as the one that it comes with can't be replaced apparently. Not sure if anyone has any ideas on that? Also the more I watch presentations like yours makes me think that the canopy is the way to go. I have a big caravan that I use my 200 with, but I hope to get back to basics and do more track camping in the traditional sense and use the Lux. Can you give a rough idea of the cost of the canopy? Although I am over west so that probably rubs me out anyway.

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Thanks! Yeah I’ve heard you can’t change the front bar on the rugged x… yeah we love having a canopy! Tray and canopy was around 20k but there’s definitely cheaper ones around, I just liked the look and strength of the mits alloy.

[@andrewlund3886]

Nice luxy mate. Are they the renogy flexi solar panels? Do you rate them? Cheers

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Thanks mate! Nah they are sunman earc from solar4rvs. They’re bloody awesome!

Great set up guys. Ticks pretty much every box of my dream build!

Cheers mate, alot of effort and research has gone into it that for sure

[@bravoaussie]

Do you get much reflection on the bonnet from the roof light bar? Sweet build too, well thought out.

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Cheers mate! Yeah I do get a little bit of reflection, I need to slot the brackets a little to angle it up a bit and will be sweet

[@bravoaussie]

@@daysoffdownunder3221 Cheers bro for the answer. I'm thinking of roof bar (a bit more side light inline with driver, weight off the front) but yeah, don't want reflection. I've same colour Hilux.

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

@@bravoaussie yeah definitely wouldn’t go double row then, one of the thinner ones be better for no reflection as you can angle it a lot easier

[@13breno13]

Awesome build, convinced me to go an upright fridge. Got a couple of questions for you as I'm looking to gets a Mits on a Hilux soon. What did you do with the tub after it was removed? Was thinking most people would trailer it home and sell. What was main reason you went an SR5 over an SR?

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

Thank you! Yeah we love our upright so much, best decision we made (after the mits) for sure! I just left the tub with pinnacle 4x4 who fitted my tray, looked at selling and they were going for $200 so wasn’t worth trying to get it back to cairns to sell. Main reason for SR5 was the extra comforts, preferred the dash and interior, the led headlights etc, just think they look better and hold their value a bit more I guess, not sure of the differences on the latest models though

[@micklamb3459]

Awsome build m8 im thinking of getting a similar set up with a new hilux just qurious after that set up what weight is the most you can tow

[@daysoffdownunder3221]

If i have car fully loaded the most i could legally tow is about 2.3T which sucks.. however mine is a 2019 model and GCM is only 5650KG. The new 2021 models are 5850KG i believe. Also the GVM upgrade i got only increases the GVM. I kind of wish i went the Lovells kit GVM/GCM upgrade as it increases GVM to 3500KG and GCM to 6500KG. I have heard they may be passing a law to legally upgrade GCM's so kinda hoping that happens... I still like the old fashioned rule of thumb in that you shouldn't tow anything heavier than the car itself.. the fact all these dual cabs are coming out with 3.5T "towing capacity" blows my mind...
