Tub vs Tray: Which Canopy Setup Is Best for Your 4x4?

[@maiabrittany]

Love that tub set-up.

[@BAWAutomotive]

Thanks. There's a lot to it, might do a full walkthrough in the future. Stay tuned

[@kevinwaters-marsh217]

Tub every day of the week and then more. . . and best thing is you're not paying coin. It's already included. So much more options with a tub / canopy option. And you don't need a scissor lift to get access into it like you do with a tray canopy set up

[@BAWAutomotive]

Hahaha, yeah we've all felt a little vertically challenged around canopies on lifted cruisers. Hard to argue with all the options you can slap on a tub, you’re getting versatility without the extra spend.

G'day fellas, love both set ups, but I'm swinging the way of ute tub/canopy set up on my 2021 MR Triton. Only because it's not the car I want plan to keep long term, so don't want to spend a fortune on it. Love the ranger set , do you do one for the Triton? Thanks cheers 🍻

The best parts of the Tub set up are cost, the tub comes factory, and you don't need to go through the process and cost of installing a tray and canopy. I have had the same tub set up for my last 3 vehicles, strip it out and put it in the new one. If you go from a jack stand canopy on a tray you can do this too, but you still need to get the tray on. I can take my set up out in 30 minutes and have an empty tub to throw the dogs, or shopping out of the weather and head to the beach and not cart all that weight around every day.

Like a modular jack stand canopy setup but for a tub. Quick to strip out when you need the space and just as easy to drop back in when you're heading off on an adventure. Makes a lot of sense!

Have you got a link for that draw set up in for the Ranger ?

It's made by our friends at OTS - www.bawauto.com.au/outback-touring-solutions

[@bigstickerperformance6670]

Tray and canopy for a work ute, that's what was provided. But i do wonder if a tub and canopy would work for me as a sparky 🤔

[@BAWAutomotive]

We've seen more and more tradies with canopy setups. Really depends on your drawer system.

[@tolzyt5338]

Tub canopy. Better for going lightweight.👍

[@BAWAutomotive]

Definitely the more lightweight option

[@t4wool]

I went tub canopy… it was a budget decision… I actually got a really good result overall and it’s good for touring but dailying as well. Everything is a compromise

[@BAWAutomotive]

Sounds like you made a smart choice! A tub canopy is a great way to balance budget, touring, and daily use.

What is the name of the canopy on the tub?

That tubs setup is mint, how much overtime do i gotta work to afford her 😂 dont think my accountant (misso) would allow me to dip into some savings

Been looking for a good reliable 4x4 builder for a while now, just bought the new Dmax not long ago.She just looks so naked atm

[@BAWAutomotive]

Hahaha, I feel you! Sometimes, you’ve got to sneak it past the “accountant”. Ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

We’d be more than happy to help you deck it out! Give us a shout when you’re ready to get started - [e-mail]

For ranger. I want carryboy

Carryboy is a good option too

Tub

[@BAWAutomotive]

Another for tub, lets go! What do you love about your tub setup?

[@rr6013]

TUB is looking more flexible, just as functional and less invested .V. CANOPY which leans custom, built-ins and massive electronics integrations right down to the wireless locks. Sure Cheap Charlies can bare bones a canopy but then Charlie’s down $16k with a portable Self-Storage unit and tray bolted on his rig. Bragging rights reign down under and pickup caps are so last century so IF you want a tub cap and fitout… this is your last chance

[@BAWAutomotive]

Too right mate! Well said

[@reubs91]

Tray and canopy. Tubs are useless and get dusty. You’re always reaching over the tailgate to access the tub area and it’s bordaline impossible to get things at the back.

[@BAWAutomotive]

To each their own! There’s a place for both styles
