[@samgospo2853]

Great video guys! Love your work!

[@gcitraytec]

Thanks mate! We hope this mini series has brought value to you

[@frankguernier2280]

Great build series. Good to see your honesty about weights.

[@arwinpoon3115]

Cant wait for the new dmax video.

[@travistowns6131]

Definitely a good upload,

[@gcitraytec]

Thanks mate, we appreciate the support!

[@brentwismer5602]

Love to see a triton build. For me it’s GCI, Norweld or Mitsalloy

[@wild_away]

Could you make a video about battery capacity how long it works generally if you can? Thanks a lot!

[@edanclarke7899]

Would a chassis extension fix the weight distribution/centre of mass problem? Great video.

[@adrianfischle1952]

Great Video, link to spreadsheet would be nice :)

[@wild_away]

Thanks for the detailed explanation👍 are all your canopies are lift off canopies? I'd like to see a video how it works.

[@gcitraytec]

Yes mate, all of our canopies are lift off. We will be sure to show how it works in one of our upcoming videos! Thank you for the suggestion 🙌

[@jamesaitken1959]

Can it be fitted with a drop down duel fridge instead of the up right fridge this may save some weight

[@markwillshire8132]

I love the shorter canopy and tray at the end..one question how much for that setup on a ranger ? I know there are variables but would it be $100 or $100000 ? Just a ball park figure..thanks

[@jymonfernandez8087]

Dedset going to get this exact canopy for my BT50

[@prasunshukla1823]

The Video was very educating, One Question I Have. Can you make the first option that you suggested in the Video on a Isuzu Dmax.

[@gcitraytec]

You would be looking at a similar situation with the new Dmax and the new Ford Ranger, as the payloads are similar (depending on your model). Therefore, you may still get away with selecting the first t/c option legally, but it will restrict what other modifications you would like to add down the line and potentially alter how the vehicle handles if not loaded effectively.

[@markmargihoskin7434]

Hi guys loved your work on the specs for a tray and canopy setup part 1 and 2, just wondering if there is something on an extra cab setup as its only me and the wife so we dont need a dual cab and would have the extra space and weight???

[@gcitraytec]

Hi mate, we do not have any videos covering spacecabs, however, we do apply the same principles for when descussing them. Please note: we only tray and canopy configurations for spacecab Ranger's and Hilux's. Hope this helps!

[@mariodilario3148]

Hey mate great video I’ve got a 2020 Toyota Hilux SR5 .The way you spec out your personal favourite is how I would do it for me You probably get this question a lot but for that set up how much am I looking at (Pricewise) Thanks

[@ditched_the_load]

Awesome mini series guys. What would be the weight gain/loss with a chassis mount setup? Only having to have 1 floor and no lift supports, I'd guess you'd gain about 60kg, pending what material you use.

[@gcitraytec]

Hey mate, good question. As we do not build chassis mounted canopies, we have not looked into how much weight would be saved.

[@ditched_the_load]

@@gcitraytec could it be something that you look at doing in the future or are you happy with how it's all going now? Thanks for the reply.

[@gcitraytec]

@@ditched_the_load We can never rule anything out, however at this stage we have not considered adding chassis mounted canopies into our line-up.

[@davtreloar9236]

Can you do just a mounted canopy with out tray?? Would help yr weight isssue.

[@gcitraytec]

Hey mate, due to flexibility reasons we do not offer chassis mounted canopies. All of our systems are lift off for the future possibility of using the tray space when it is needed. We understand some customers may not ever need to take off the canopy. However every aspect of our designs are set up to accommodate for when your requirements in a build change.

[@davtreloar9236]

@@gcitraytec I see a huge opportunity as well fix or help improve every single build weight issue. Jump ahead and please consider get it happening now. Because in my view. It’s only a matter of time before you do. Because the weight issue is never going away. Just my view. Love your wrk. Cheers

[@aussiemanrips93]

Price for something like this rough ball park with all the features shown

[@timothytisor3006]

Nice.....🙄👍

[@quinnchaytor6047]

Awesome video. Just a question about power options, do you only use Endrive or is there other options like Redarc?

[@gcitraytec]

We have our mid-range and high range electrical packages with Enerdrive and our entry level package with Victron Energy. We do not fit Redarc or any other brands into our setups at this stage. Great question!

[@rangiwalker6547]

What does a gvm upgrade cost

[@Davi.b]

Sounds like pick the canopy and buy the vehicle to suite. Argument sake . C class liscence Big gvm. Most of the tricky bits. What vehicle would you recommend. Maybe something with a dedicated alternater. 🤔 I may be dreaming at this moment . How ever that is going to change soon.😁

[@jhtapping]

What is the combined weight of the 1850x1800 tray/ canopy empty (dual cab) please?

[@gcitraytec]

Hey mate, great question. You're looking at roughly 395kg (1800Lx1850W fully optioned tray = 260kg & 1650Lx1850W empty canopy)

[@takemespearfishing7667]

You guys done an MR Triton?

[@gcitraytec]

Hey mate, we have done one MR Triton tray back in late 2019.
