Re: braai solution/ideas

Haboob, please can you post a picture of your braai? I have heard of these but never seen one. I am interested to see how it is mounted to a stand if at all.

Many thanks.

They only do canopies for Hiluxes 2005 and newer... Such a pity, what a great price.

Thanks anyway.

Aluminium Canopy Manufacturers - Suggestions Please

Hi Everybody I hope I have posted in the correct sub-forum... I have searched the forum for 'canopy' but every topic has a reference to that word! I am finally looking to have an aluminium canopy installed on my 1996 D/C SFA. I have been quoted R16500 to have it manufactured and installed - a canopy...

Re: Load spreader for roof top tent. SFA DC 1996

Thanks mud dog. Your thinking is sound and has made a huge impact on the way I am going to do the canopy. I have been thinking of other ideas like building over the roll bar and down until I reach the 200mm mark for the RTT, but that is fiddly and I don't want to cock it up. I have finally decided t...

Re: Load spreader for roof top tent. SFA DC 1996

Thanks Mud dog. My thinking is that it might be cheaper to just cut and re-weld the roll bar. I am on a budget so Please let me know which you think would be the cheapest option.

Re: Load spreader for roof top tent. SFA DC 1996

Morning chaps. I have decided on a slightly different approach for my RTT. The RTT is approximately 200mm high when packed away. My idea is to construct a canopy 200 mm lower-than the bakkie roof , Mount the RTT towards the rear of the canopy and have a low storage basket between the RTT and cab. I ...

Hi everybody It has been a while but glad to be back. I have just been fortunate enough to get an excellent deal on a rtt.
