Cheers mate.

Nice work. I did a similar thing with 3mm aluminium. Used a hacksaw to scribe a line then bent it. Worked well. Was looking for a faster way and came across your video..

Longer handle on your bender would help too. 😉

Where you driving throught salt or fresh water?

very cool just what i was looking for. tks

What mods have you done to the triton?

Nice work, Helpful hints. I'm working on doors on side boxes underneath a Lance camper. I put the hinge on the bottom to give myself a table surface to work on. My doors are flush mount to the box surface so the water/ dust seal is across the top and sides. Still trying to figure out the seals.

Hi there, great video! You answered so many of my questions as you went, you have a very clear style of presentation. I'd love to see an update?! Any new projects on the go? Version 2? Updates to original design? I'm designing my dream camper (with no skill in fabrication) and I'm learning so much and looking for 5he easiest and most fool proof methods i can find! Looking forward to seeing more info from you, and all the best!

Sorry overkill!

Squirt some wd40 along the mark before hitting it with the router...it'll sail along much easier...and the chips won't fly around so much..

I'm very pleased I found this video thank you very much stay safe

Get a cold cut saw, you’ll be amazed

Great video thanks. Any idea if these can be bolted on to any cross bar or are they only compatible with Rola cross bars? I was looking for something to attach to my HSP Rolla cover cross bars but they don't make a platform yet.

Hi mate, that's a nice tray build and cool channel. Can you tell me did you do much sanding / degreasing on the duragal steel frame before using the adhesion primer? And how the raptor coating is holding up ?

Very good video mate, but I am not sure why you would want a swing are on that back panel. Swing arms are used to swing the tyre away from tailgates/doors or things that open. It looks like this tyre is just against a flat side or you canopy. Am i missing something?

Awesome ingenuity! I have a MQ Triton as well fitted with an ARB Ascent Canopy, but my roof racks are over the cab and this is the first video I could find with a 270 degree awning centrally mounted. Very keen to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

Wicked!

Hi Derek, you successfully found an aluminium supplier, are they local in Albany?

Splendid documentary young man

put a lot of thought into your project name I see

Did you consider using 50x50 T6061 aluminum extrusion like from 80/20 or somewhere similar?

Hi there again, congratulations on finishing the build. You should both be proud of the result. Yes, there are some issues that you have openly identified, and some areas that you could refine, but that is life, right. Those that never start a project for fear of failing, lose out on the benefits of what can be learned. I am sure your next version will be even better. I'm on my 7th 4wd build, but this is my first canopy build (just started last week), same as you, new to welding, always having fabricated using wood, carpet and aluminium, so this will be a challenge, as was yours. I thank you for the insight that has helped me know I am on the right track. Looking forward to more of your content... Go well, Cass.

I have been designing a canopy the last few years, and finally, on 4wd number 7, am about to get started building. Surprisingly similar to yours, but somewhat more 'complicated'. I just started welding and came across your site just yesterday. Interestingly, your site has been great, actually showing I managed to foresee most of the issues that you have shown, which gives me some confidence I am on the right lines. My design also has a vertical lift, and to control the alignment of the roof as it lifts, it is easiest to use some 'scissor-lift' mechanism, with two fixed points, two dynamic on rollers. These can be acquired from caravan outlets (with springs to provide lifting force), although I will make my own, just from two joined bits of aluminium, with the gas-struts doing the lifting rather than the springs, which means they can be lighter weight aluminium. Thanks for your site. Great job... Cass.

I am not aware of your plans to enclose the top, But, if you use a sturdy fabric, you may only need 4 gas struts of appropriate strength in the corners to raise the top. As long as you are able to find sufficient length, the canvas which will be taut when the roof is up, should provide some stability. The front struts should point opposite to the rear ones as you mentioned , what are your thoughts on this?....Gerry

Hey what time of the year was this ?

I see this video is 2 years old now? How did it work? Would you do it again or make any changes…? ✌🏻🇿🇦

This is very clever. Great idea. If I may add my 10c…. My concern would be the metal on rubber wear. Maybe glue a plastic cap cover on top of the bolt and thread. As I say, very clever. I was actually UA-caming ideas when I saw your blog. I was thinking about using epoxy and football boot studs on a cheap set of tracks. I just can’t justify the cost of Maxtrax.

hey mate did you think about adding handles ( ie. length of pipie ) to bender to give you more leverage when bending

This is the first video I have seen that shows the channel on the ostrich wing 270 degree awning. And what you found with the bolts eating out the channel is my major concern as I have been looking at buying this awning. Second of all the aluminium spacers that comes with the awning are they also mounted to the channel at the hinge end with what size screw bolts I can't find anything about the size. To me this bears the most load and it seems to have to small the hardware for this point. Does these screw bolts bolt into the channel or the handle bracket ?

你用的是50-50方管吗？多厚哦

I just fit the Titan to my Triton, loving it so far!

Is that just a router bit for wood?

工欲善其事 必先利其器 你巳經做得到了🐝

You’re a man of many talents, well done!

Hi thanks. When u say you sleep under the awning, is that in swags or with just the awning walls? Any chance you can show how you use the awning space please as I’m looking into option.

How well do they hold up when the canopy is decked out and weighs 500kg or more?

Hi i know this video is over a year old but how easy was it to plumb in to the main tank on the triton? .

Love the channel and the ideas behind it, from one youtube creator to another, great channel and I have just subscribed :)

Well done mate. Good lateral thinking.

That spot up in hill camping looks awesome 🤙🏻🍻🏕🔥

Loved watching the build, giving me inspiration to do my own tray build. Well done 👍

I have used a folding tent pole to tension rain fly

Why didn’t you just cut the old hinges off? Easy job with a grinder

How has the Rola Titan tray hold up in the past year? Cheers

Looks awesome 👏

👍 👍 👍👍👍👍👍😍 😍 😍 😍😍😍 😍😍 😍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 💕

Did you fabricate the drawer system yourself? That slide out is a dream.

對我嚟講是大工程！以前你阿爸淨係識得木工而家你金工都搞掂埋喇！
