Nice rig guys. One tip I've learnt is to store your first aid kit in a location you can reach from your seat. This way if your in a crash and are trapped in the car you can still access it.

[@lifeinalux]

Cheers! Definitely agree! We’ve since moved it to behind the passenger seat as there has been some occasions we’ve had to quickly grab it. Good tip!

[@ottouring]

Hi, Just read yr comment and I’m going to take that on board in my set up. Have a look at my Hilux set up, canopy set up and 12v set up Cheers Out There Touring

Great car , gotta laugh how most people say things like you said about kings gear , “I’ve had the winch for a year and it’s been bullet proof , but you don’t like to say that kings gear” , don’t understand why people do this , if it’s bullet proof it’s good .

[@ppvtv2534]

Some very cool ideas I haven’t seen before. Looks mint. Would love to see some more info on the breaks up front and the 12v setup. Awesome work keep it up. 👍

[@lifeinalux]

Cheers mate!

[@lifeinalux]

Anything you wanna know on the brakes/12v set up?

[@ppvtv2534]

@@lifeinalux Very interested in how you managed to get bigger brakes on there, like what mods you had to do to fit them and things like that. With 12v setup, interested in that lithium and how everything is neatly wired up

[@lifeinalux]

As for the brakes, they are 120 series Prado Calipers, Discs, and pads new from sparesbox. You need to find the dust guards from a wreckers. I reused the hilux brake lines, and the calipers used the exact same mounting bolts as the hilux calipers. And you must have 17” Rims to clear them. It’s all pretty straight forward once you acquire the parts. As for the electrical, there is quite abit involved, the lithium is a 100AH DCS Battery, charged directly off the alternator with a Victron Argofet Alternator Splitter (this is required as it stops any backfeeding into the starter battery, if you looked it up on the Victron website it goes into more detail. It basically allows me to charge at 40-60a, however if I put in the 130a alternator, theoretically is should be able to get 100a+ of charge into the battery at a time, meaning a fully charged battery in under an hour. The front wall of the canopy is 9mm ply screwed to the vertical support leaving a 40mm cavity, which I ran catenary wires across between the support, and prewired all the cabling, then pulled it through the board as I installed it, there is a hatch behind the fridge which I have used to access behind it and wire some of the later mods! Hope this was what you were after, cheers!

Nice set up! What brand door actuators did you use on the canopy latches? Cheers.

[@lifeinalux]

Hi, I got them off truckhardware.com.au!! Cheers

[@lukeravesteyn3109]

@@lifeinalux cheers I’ll sus them out. I wish I had thought of wiring the canopy doors into the open door light when I ran all the cabling, that’s such a good idea.
