- I make a roof tray for the ute which turns out really well.
Cutting List:
2 pieces of 50x50 x 5mm angle for the sides
6 pieces of 25x38 x 1.2mm rectangular steel tube for the middle
4 pieces of 40x40 x 3mm square tube for the feet
4 pieces of 80 x 40 x 3mm flat steel for the feet
Fasteners:
4 x 60mm M8 Stainless bolts
4 x M8 Stainless nylock nuts
8 x Stainless washers (as large as possible to spread load from inside canopy)

Jointing compound for the stainless bolts? Never too late.
I like the design - very neat. Why steel though instead of aluminium? It's different stuff to weld (go TIG instead of MIG+Spool Gun) but not too difficult and reasonably forgiving.
Hey mate, been binge watching your channel. What camera do you use for videos?
Hi mate I use a Panasonic GH5 usually with a 12-35mm lens
the luxy looks great mate
Love all the welding and grinding in front of all them fuel cans haha
I like the added risk when working
The old Nathan Cameron squint and weld, love it
Learned from the best
Been looking for a video like this for ages, cheers mate🤙🏽
You are welcome sir
Awesome video! It’s a very similar set up to what I’m planing on doing on my Fj45
great vid mate. keep em up, very underrated
Thank you!
hey mate have you put in rear speakers?
Love your work mate, looks good 💪🏼
Says he can't fab, then pulls this out of his arse 👍
This was really helpful. I may be 11 but dream of owning an n70
There’s plenty of them out there, should be a few cheap ones by the time you have your licence!
Love your vids. May be 11 but dream of owning an n70 when I grow up.
Nice work mate looks sick and good video nice transitions 🤙🏻
Thanks mate! Appreciate it
YES! everytime I'm thinking of fabricating something for my lux you go ahead and post a video doing something new 😂
Glad I could give you some new ideas! Haha
love the build mate, wondering if it would be strong enough to chuck a rooftop tent up there? Got an n70 of my own coming soon, your vids are awesome in planning out potential mods.
Cheers mate, with this specific canopy I personally wouldn’t trust a rooftop on it. I’d be going for something with more internal bracing
@@RyvalCreative fair enough, thats what i was thinking haha
good your uploading anyway love your vids mate :)
Thanks mate!
mate love the roof rack. How much did it cost you? I am after one similar to the utemaster cantilever Rack
From memory I think the angle was about $50-60 and the tube was about $100 all up but steel prices have risen a fair bit recently so would probably be a bit more now
@@RyvalCreative Thanks mate much appreciated
How many kms does the Luxy have on it now?
About 120k now, still got plenty left in it!
