Dust and security is a good point though. a full chequer plate covered structure of the same dimensions would be good, but i'd have to put a sliding window in the side or something. also you wouldn't be able to have such easy acces to the stuff in the tub as you would with the canvas option. Why...

Another photoshop sketch... Well paintbrush actually - dont have photoshop at work... Should look a little something like this... I'm guessing (hoping) around $500 for the frame, and i'll make up the sides myself - Material around $100 maybe...

Thanks for your help everyone, especially Gonzo - very helpful! :) I'll keep you updated on my progress in this thread. I think I will get a simple box frame constructed from either steel (powder coated) or aluminium, whichever is cheaper, and have the top as a chequer plate platform, with...

Just found this pic on the net, this guy has had a similar idea to me.... I still think I want a canvas canopy though... Getting a custom canvas canopy made would be cheaper then getting something like that made up...

G'day, I have been thinking about how I am going to setup my ute for a 6month tour round Australia. I am keenon the rooftop tent, but also will be carrying a Kayak on the roof. Also I want to improve aerodynamics, so I have come up with this idea: I would like to mount the rooftop tent over...

ohhhh... I was just looking at some bighorns this morning - thinking they are a good tire for the price.... I might just have to get some too... Yeah, the EFS kit seems good on the whole, Dont know what shocks I got, but had Heavy Duty leafs whichg initially i found really stiff and a very...

Just had 16x8 +20 offset from King wheels fitted, and is perfectly flush with the arches... 0 offset would boviously stick out quite alot... Cheers...

Hi RustyNav. Got em for $110 each plus $25 per wheel for swaping tire and balancing. From Tires and More in Robina, they ordered them from King Wheels in Brisy. Zordo mentioned you when he did my EFS lift kit at his place come to think of it. Good luck with the wheels - I'm already itching...

Hi Guys, I just had a set of 16x8 +20offset King wheels fitted with my OE bridgestone dueler a/t 265x70 tyres (may as well get some use out of them before the muddies go on) They out about an extra 25mm - perfectly flush with the wheel arches, so still totally road legal. With 32inch muddies on...

cool.... just remember that the tire will stick out further than the rim, my guess is that with -6 offset, (i think that is Patrol offset, 0 offset is apparently Landcruiser, and +10 is Hilux - all for 15" wheels) when you put tires on they will stick out HEAPS... When i tried the 0 offset...

what rubber did you go with on those mate? I just tried on a 15x7 with +10 offset and it was fine - close but fine... also tried 15x7 0 offset also fine. I think i will go with 15x8 +10 offset, with BFG KM2s 32x15.5R15... only problem is there are apparently no more of those tire in that size...

I just trail fitted a 15x7 rim with +10 offset made by infinity wheels, and it fit no problem. I also tried a 15x7 with 0 offset whis was obviously also fine, but stuck out a little bit too far - with a tire on it would have stuck out heaps, so i think i will go with the +10 offset but 8" wide....

anyone managed to get 15" rims to fit a 2010 model with ABS? apparent ABS poses even more of a problem... I have arranged a tire and wheel place to do a trial fit for me on thursday with a few different wheel size and tire combos so we shall see...
