Half height aluminium canopy

[jeepstertim]

I have a 15,000km trip planned for next year so not increasing the drag of my 4 wheel brick should help maintain MPG. To that end I'm looking to keep the RTT at or just below the line of the cab while having a canopy that allows me to maximise the space in the bed and keep my belongs secure as I travel through the Gulf, Turkey, Greece, Balkans and Europe.

Work started last week using a local firm and should be complete this week. Designed with a target weight of between 60-100kg, the all aluminium canopy will have 3 doors. I'll post some pics of the completed unit later.

I’m jealous!! I wanted something similar and ended up going with a custom made soft top over my half height bed rack.

But this is epic!!

The cost of labour is cheaper here so I have been quoted $1600 for it all finished.

I've added a couple more photos of the canopy progress and a must for any coffee loving SUV owner. The team here are very talented, the coffee was delicious!
