We Bought the CHEAPEST 4x4 CANOPY on Marketplace...

[@bobklincke4671]

Good buy. Consider put rubber mat between canopy and tray. Less noise due to canopy vibration, prevents rubbing wear and allows moisture to evaporate/dry out.

[@darrenc4096]

Bunnings. Didn’t have quite what you needed. Surprise surprise, story of my life.

Dunn and Watson is the place to go for gas struts and door locks. They have a video on how to work the exact power and length you'll need for your struts. Highly recommended

[@richardgrant7474]

Before you weld the cracks drill holes at the end of them to stop them from cracking any further in the future Looks sick tho 👌🏼

[@Nick-A-]

Mate you hit the jackpot with the canopy! Lick of paint will make it look perfect👍

[@mitcho_913]

if you have the gear, make a battery box for under the tray behind the cab, keeps the weight down low and centred, and more room in the canopy

[@brentvanderjagt5844]

Hey lads, i've built lots of homemade canopies, RV super centre in ferntree gully have heaps of different strut lengths and strengths, also have heaps of other cool canopy and camping stuff, worth the trip!

[@jase6827]

Good on ya young fellas. Exactly what I did in my 20's. Only difference is that I had when I started and Digital 8 films when started uploading to you tube.

[@geoff8263]

I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your new canopy. I enjoy watching your videos

[@heathlarnach1150]

You can fit a kickass 120AH slimline behind the passenger seat in GQ patrol ute as a dual battery. Just finished my setup.

[@benbowles1014]

Nice score on the canopy, mate. Looking forward seeing the fit out.

[@Daniel-Mclovin]

Adds more genuine charm to the mighty GQ fellas! She be right, it does the job! 😜 Looking forward to the next vid👌🏽

[@daallaad]

Hell yeah, I've pretty much built me whole rig off gumtree and Fb market , works out way better as long as you buy things you'r not going to need the warranty for

[@scowievideos7931]

Fair score mate, looks like a good headstart on the canopy side of ya build. Done more in the last 6 months on yout rig than i have in the last 2 yrs hahaha.

Ally half the weight, but half the strength but double the price. Steel all the way

[@timwilcox4972]

SCORE !!!! get some conveyor belt up bung that under the canopy and bolt through it don't use soft spongy rubber bloody good price for what you got that's for sure.

[@declanbeattie4107]

You had a Bursons and a Repco over the road. Did you try them?

[@morgantaylor7209]

Hey lads love the video just my opinion I don't think you need all the jump cuts in the video the kind of person that watches this video doesn't mind if it goes an extra minute without the vid staggering every few seconds. Cheers.

[@lachlanstill]

agreed! Love the videos but the jump cuts kill me. I am old though so *shrug* ;)

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

Well done fellas. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍🍺🍺

[@nVGenzy]

You need to lower the tray or do a body lift

[@imsickpleasehelp588]

Great video, just some friendly advice. Try minimise your jump cuts mid sentence

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Effen beauty! There are online guides for calculating the struts you need - I bet even one of those Bunnings struts would work. Here is an example link: www.strutswest.com.au/how-to-calculate-the-gas-strut-length-and-force-required/ The force required relates to the weight of the panel AND the distance from the hinge line and the open angle. Further out along the panel, less force. The angle rand lower mounting point are determined by the fully extended length of the strut. Your phone calculator can handle the maths.

Old mate needs to calm down, no need to speak like that without knowing the situation. Rule #1 of radio communication is if you haven't had positive confirmation the message has been received, you assume it has not. He is just showing he's ignorance of proper communication protocol by getting knickers in a knot.
