what a great setup... Watching this the whole time with a huge smile on my face, your enthusiasm and happiness is infectious. Like a kid in a candy store. Great stuff. 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼
As usual, awesome video, thanks brother. You guys are so far ahead of us in the US as far as camping, on or off road. The quality of work coming out of Australia is first class. Thanks for sharing
Walt Hampton Cheers mate, I appreciate you watching! Love ya comments to thanks bro ✌️
I would buy this in the US wonder if we will.ever see them here?
Have you attended any of the overland expos here in the US? If not, you may be surprised.
I'm not a camper nor am I a tourer, but I just love these setups. So frigging practical and beautifully engineered. I can see myself using it partly for work and part recreation.
Hey mate,
Interesting that your not a camper or tourer but like the set ups.
Have a look at my set up and build
Cheers
Out There Touring
Great show guys, my two boys just absolutely love your trips, I put on your channel to keep them amused and now I'm hooked, I'd love for you blokes to come to nz in the south island, I'm now looking at a 4wd so I can take the kids out, keep up the great work, love the cooking and the banter and the tips you always offer we look forward to more 4wd action
Bloody awesome set up mate, you and your family are living my dream. I’m very envious. Keep it up.👍
It's great to set up a fantastic vehicle with the best gear. But it is even more important just to go! Take a $50 tent and a station wagon, just go!
As a fabricator welder also working with Aluminium it's great work, "but" with all the potential to carry so much weight I hope the chassis has been strengthened as well. There are countless dual cabs from all makes with broken chassis' from overloading and towing.
THANK YOU FOR GREAT DETAIL VIDEO ON NEW SET CANOPY FOR FAMILY TRAVEL ROUND AUSTRALIA
BUILT NEW ALLOY CANOPY FOR ISUZU 300 4X4 CREW CAB TRUCK
great vid & set up. You have made it easier for me to make any future decisions for a touring set up. I will definitely be looking up Pro Touring Concepts, to help me out
Great to see your set up, thanks for sharing. I was wondering what sort of weight the BT comes up at before you add water, food camping gear, tools etc and what weight it allows you to tow.
Hey Guys, Nice video. I have been watching this video on and on and on! Also I have been wanting a canopy like yours! Love it! Nice family!! Good on ya mate!! Keep it up
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it!!
@@TripInAVan Good on ya keep it up
An awsome set up got me thinking now. 😎
Just the best Australian Engineering!!! Fantastic set up for what you will need on your trips!! One day I will do the same with my Holden Colorado. Safe travels on every trip you do Justin & Bec. Have a wonderful Christmas to you and your entire family and have an epic new year 2020, looking forward to more adventures from you both in the new year and beyond. Onya Mate 🍺🥂🍻🎁🎄👍👌
Anthony Emmett cheers mate, merry Xmas to you🎅
Absolutely flawless! I'll be getting the same setup (I wasn't sure, but now I'm sure!!) for my 2018 Tacoma. I already have the Norweld Tray. Thanks for a great video.
Mike M good stuff man! You will love it💪💪💪
Sick finally got to see it! You don’t see anything like that over here great setup!👍🇺🇸🇦🇺
Mason U it’s next level mate hey!! Love it💪
Great set ip in the 4x4 awesome job from norweld cheers.
joe psaila thanks man we love it💪💪
Simply awesome
Norweld def got the best looking stuff
Onya Justin.. ! I guess we must've inspired you when you saw our Canopy setup at JB Caboolture. Great work, looks fantastic, a canopy makes so much difference, you won't know how you did without it for so long. The possibilities are endless & we love ours....so many options. Have a great 2019. See you out there.
Hey mate, We are stoked with the setup and it's going to be amazing for full time travel!! Catchya out there mate!!
The beauty of canopy setups when the car is done bolt off and on the new car
Shane Darney that’s it mate, this setup will last a lifetime✌️
What a sweet set up 😍
Awesome setup mate.
I'm about to get my first 4x4 this year for touring & wondering if you could explain your 12v setup in the van if you haven't already in another video. I've got the Redarc Manager 30 for battery management plus the Redarc Redvision TVMS to control switching, accessories etc. Initially I was looking to install in the tourer but now the wife wants me to also look at a camping trailer so I will need some form of 12v system in there for lighting etc. Main power can come from the car via an anderson plug.
Awesome setup!
hey bro!!! you got the best UTE in the world!!! i love it.
thanks man, we love it!
A fantastic setup
amazing built. cheers
Very nice! Love the channel from the US.
Cheers mate🤘
Absolutely on point setup.
Cheers man
Awesome setup. Congrats.
Just something I noticed through, if you hang up in the back crossing a ditch/washout, are you going to be able to pull the tray to get at your recovery gear?
I thought your video was an ad for the next transformer movie based off your Thumbnail, awesome build keep it up👍👍👍
I not only love all your journeys but being a petrolhead and into modifications this setup walkthrough is class..very clean setup. is there a spare space for the wife when they go off on one...?
Great video. Great personality, you could be a TV presenter....and a grest set up. I hope to overland in Australia.
Magic setup mate
jack turtle cheers mate💪
I want one...Bloody Awesome
Your canopy is heaven. Desirable swiss knife.. of canopies. I am dreaming to fit my ute like yours. Everything in it is PERFECT in perfect harmony.
Sick rig!
Here’s hoping for the Powerball win tonight
After seeing this vehicle personally, it is with out doubt, the best canopy i have seen by a very big margin. The vehicle is also done brilliantly.
The quality, attention to detail and thoughtfulness is mind blowing
But more, the craftsmanship, fit and finish is just next level
That thing is built with pride and some serious skills
You simply don't get that with other products
I could spot it from 80meters away, that it was something of beauty.
The sparky work (being a sparky myself) was incredible, attention to detail everywhere you looked. I was very envious and hats off to the fella that did it.
One thing i've just thought of though.... Shower?
Hugh Jazz cheers mate, we are stoked with how this rig has turned out! The guys involved are the ultimate professionals and so passionate about what they do✌️ Shower?? We just use a 12volt camp shower that we drop in a tub of water and have a quick rinse✌️
Great channel Jason and wonderful Insta
Best Wishes to you and your family for the future.
That’s a solid setup mate 👍
cheers mate
That is a great looking canopy ol~ mate , but still second to that other great looking 🐦 in your ute I think you would agree LOL😉
billy boab yeah mate the mrs goes alright👌
Nice setup
good on ya mate im happy for ya
So much weight rear of the wheels, be interesting to see how it goes through mud. Starting to think a chassis extension is needed on these dual cabs, especially how cheap they are now.
Beautiful set up. I’ve been told (by the misses) that we need a canopy ( for the same reasons Bec has said). Just wondering 1/ is this a lift off model and 2/ what is the length of it? I’m worried about going to long for the leverage factor when towing and making sure the corners clear the front of the camper trailer when turning.
Jason Rowe this one doesn’t lift off but you can get one identical that will. If your worried about length they do a compact version that’s a touch shorter and might be perfect for you. Ours clears the caravan fine though when at full lock💪
Primo setup mate. Congrats :-)
Cheers mate!
Bloody nice rig. The envy of a lot of 4 wheelers for sure.
Cheers mate, loving it!!
Awesome vid!!! Have you had any dramas get the long range tank to fit with the water tank and the big draw ?
Tag G we don’t have a long range tank. But Norweld reckon the ARB frontier tank fits no dramas 🤙
nice setup much. when i hit the road im sure il ask. good job.
Looks fantastic and well fitted design layout.- driving a Toyota now? - I think you had a Ranger before? - just starting my own fit-out using
aluminium and stainless steel for internal structures - Engel, Redarc, Amptron,& Renogy for electrics - It’s a dual cab Hilux so I’ll have to keep the weight in check - hope SA/WA was good for you all - John in SA
Hey guys, just looking at going with electric cooking in our setup was curious what brand your cooker was, cant find the video you did the walk through on. Thanks in advance
Look very strong n solid
Awesome
Just wondering what the overall height of this canopy was? around that standard 860mm or towards the 1000mm high? Cheers
Hey mate, sick set up! I know you're selling this now, but where do the camp chairs fit in there?
smick looking rig guys!
Overlander 4x4 and Camping cheers mate
Iwanttosmack my lips onu
Hi mate just wondering if norweld did your full canopy paint job? I have only seen doors and boxes with finished paint job... I love the set up and am looking to norweld for my canopy
Danny Boy yeah mate Norweld organised the full paint job through their normal paint booth guys✌️
Now all you have to do is get it dirty. Very nice and practical setup
Just come across your channel very informative and great vids bloody awesome your doing a great job what a fantastic looking canopy have just bought a d/c 2018 xlt ranger that is exactly the set up I'm looking for how expensive are they mate cheers
Just had a look at other posts 40k all up cheers
Cheers mate. Our setup all inclusive is around 40grand.
Hi guys love your work ,but want to no why you chose the particular type of electric cook top you have, is that one the most efficient & how much ,what brand cheers Graham !
Hi, great setup. I am looking to do the same.what does the car drive like with the canopy off. I also need the car to be a daily driver and was worried about the suspension upgrades making it stiff and uncomfortably to drive. Thanks. Geoff
geoff gypsy hey mate, our canopy doesn’t actually come off.. it’s a full timer. I can imagine it would be a harsher ride when the weights off though. Sorry I can’t give you a better answer🤔
Hey legend, found you, was great to have a chat at Killarney the other day
Hugh Jazz Haha, cheers mate. Glad you come and said gday! Always keen to talk shop with good fellas👍
Very nice set up for Australia wide touring. Absolutely cracking. How much cost for exact set up?
Looks mint, I must say.
20g + setup I reckon
Battery alone is over 2g
And the rest ! Canopy and tray alone is well over 20k then add 10k plus for the electrical 🙈
Fabulous set up! Finally something that has made me rethink our Jeep GC Overland with all its creature comforts - to a BT50 or Ranger, just to have something like this to allow functional use of storage space. I love ours - but it seems you always want something that is on the bottom or at the back and you have often to go through every tub... and Solar on double pain sun roof is near impossible, unless you use the rack - but then they are under gear. I LOVE it!!!
All important Q though - can I ask what this canopy cost, with all the kit? Thanks. Brad.
Brad Williams cheers mate, you can get a setup just like this for around 30k
Very nice!
You got a cel fi go system on there? That ute is sweet, great set up. Ideal for camping.
Holy crap mate, that is hands down one of the best setups I’ve seen in a long time, and would look incredible on my PXII Ranger. I’ve just posted the wife and kids for sale on Gumtree to start saving the coin towards making this a reality, so lets hope people don’t waste my time with low ball offers and they sell quick. I wonder if Norweld would take them as a deposit if they don’t sell on Gumtree?
Jason Patterson cheers mate it’s been unreal!! We freakin love it!!!
How do I go about buying a double cab Ute without a tray, so I don’t waste money throwing away the tray that came with the ute when I get a tray from Norweld?
I'm looking at getting ute and equipping it but I'm struggling to put stuff like this on it and stay legal.
Even with a GVM upgrade how to you get this gear and stay under GVM?
В плане постройки кемперов для летних путешествий австралийцы - лучшие из лучших!.....
Отлично сделано! 👍
What are the weight,s on your rig. Do you have much left on your rear axle, because you carry so much gear. I am touring America in an F250, towing a van.
hey i was just wondering which canopy you got and if you had to buy a tray separate to go with it
Kynan McKenzie ours is a Norweld Canopy. It’s a full time package which means our tray base is part of the canopy. But you can get the exact same setup with a tray base and a canopy that jacks off💪
That is awesome,
Just purchased a new Amrok, to my disappointment Norweld don't do a Tray or Canopy for the VW
Awesome dude!!! But two questions: What is the all abuot weight of this car fully equipped? And how much did you pay for all this?
Brilliant set up mate and thanks for sharing. What's one like that worth?
Awesome set up! What did that end up costing back then please?
How high is the GVM upgrade on the Mazda . I looked at the price for the battery system and your not going to get much change 10 to 12g for the battery system
Justin .... this rig looks mint ... I’ve got a 2019 ford ranger here in England, do you think I could get a box designed similar to yours here in England .... great show keeping me and the wife entertained through lockdown
Gary Smith you could prob get one like mine shopped over mate 👌
That canopy is cool,
awesomeness
Just a question loaded up does effect steering . Love it
Perry Finbow na mate, steers fine. Only difference is doing off road hill climbs, the steering gets a bit light
Has the bt50 motor been modified? Eg exhaust tune, catchcan etc etc.
How much does it wiegh also? Over gvm?
Hey mate, no real engine mods just a pro vent 200 catch can. Upgraded gvm/gcm suspension fitted as well.
Great setup but i wouldn’t only rely on just the water storage in remote areas if it splits or leaks due to corrugations you will lose your entire water supply better to have multiple small storages.
I'd get the basis canopy because I need it for work, my major concern with it I guess is the increased centre of gravity compared to factory tub. Have you noticed the ute a lot of more tippy on side angles?
Abu7929 it’s definitely different to drive off road now. Having a lot of weight on the back makes steep low range hill climbs a bit more difficult. But haven’t noticed it being too tippy at all, but we don’t do much hardcore 4x4. Mainly beach work and Bush campgrounds🤙
How do you find the black canopy when parked up, do you find it gets pretty hot underneath when using the kitchen? Have been told to steer clear of black if can cheers
Jordan Cirulis it’s a fun metal grey and nah, absolutely no dramas with heat
Do you have a alarm if you leave a door opened
Quick one guys, travelling West across the Nullarbor, how much head winds affect your fuel burn as opposed to Easterly trip if you have measured that, and best seasonal time of year for a Westerly trip?
Jesus Justin 😱. U got more gear in there that Captain Kirk had on the starship enterprise 😬😂👍🏻👍🏻
Shadowz Shadowz wicked🤘
Hi guys,
Loving your trip vids. My wife and I are retiring mid next year. Looking at the new 300 series Landcruiser to pull our 21’ Roadstar full off road GT cross country. Really liking some of your equipment. For example, your foldable fire pit, your roof rack with your car topper boat. My question is, where can we source the above equipment for our journeys around this wonderful country.
Cheers,
Ken and Sue Marston
Cheers mate, the boat loader and trailer is from ALMAC TRAILERS AND BOAT LOADERS:
www.almactrailers.com.au/boatloaders.php
Fire pit is from RED ROADS.
Thanks for that guys. Much appreciated. Safe travels.
How much that set you back? Looks awesome!
Very nice,
Hi Buddy, been following you guys since before this build and the new van and you have now been running the canopy for a while over at time some pretty narly ground too. Whats the approx loaded weight of the canopy on the BT and did you give consideration to the weight behind the axle in view of the issue some cabs have had with breaking the back of the chassis. I want ot do the same but am concerned about the behind axle weight on my 2009 DMax ???
Mike Williams cheers mate, the canopy weighs about 550kg. And yep I considered the extra weight so we got a Lovell’s upgraded gvm suspension kit fitted and also braced the chassis👍
@@TripInAVan Thanx
Nice build! What gauge cable to did you run from DCDC charger to cranking battery? I'm running the same charger and same size lithium battery, and getting 40a off idle as well. I was looking through the manual and noticed that theres settings to bump the DCDC charger up to 50a. I ran 6gauge cable so i reckon it'll handle it too!
Hey mate, we have 10mm cable running through to the canopy. I haven't checked the manual for the wire size guide but we run 40 amps no drama's. Not sure if i need any more charging amps going in but i reckon it would handle it.
Hey awesome set up. Is it possible to wind off this canopy or is it part of the tray? Thanks
Dan this one is part of the tray, but you can get the exact same setup as a jack off canopy💪
Holy! Your thumbnail looks like an Autobot halfway through transforming!
Nice rig!
How do I add a surfboard and windsurfer ? Thanks
Mate that looks fantastic! (How do you go with being under GCM weights towing a van??) I have 2017 BT50 and would love this set up, but wondering regarding weights. Do you have GVM upgrade on your BT50?
craig weir Lovell’s upgrade to 7 tonne gcm👍
Trip In A Van yeh good call. How good is that set up!! that’s the best I have seen. Well done to those boys!
Mate looks 👌,,what is the size like length x width x high
Hi mate how much the total costs in the canopy?cheers
How to get that? For strada triton??
Hi.... Its awesome. I love adventure. I have a isuzu D-Max and i want to modify like this in full equipment. How much i need to invest?
