I have this exact make and looking for more or less this exact canopy but was wondering what the final price would have been discluding all interior draws and appliances, would help me a lot as ARB cant give me a rough price!!
Hi, great looking set up. I am looking at a very similar set up on my Ranger, was wondering if you have had the vehicle weighed and how it went with Axel weights
Hi, we had the GVM upgrade done before we picked the car up (pre registration) HOWEVER, there was a mix up in communication between ARB and the Dealership and the Bull bar was installed by accident. We wanted the bar installed after registration as to not add extra stamp duty. Fortunately Ford and ARB admitted the mix up and paid half each for the extra cost. Hope this makes sense 😁👍
@@escapetoeverywhereaustralia Thank you for the reply, so my next question is, do Ford make slap on a cost for the fitting of the GVM upgrade from ARB? Sorry for the questions but I’m just doing some homework of my own before I invest in the Ranger. I also am hearing there is some sort of vibration/shudder in the driveline especially on take off, how’s yours? Cheers guys.
@@kman6482 We did the GVM upgrade pre rego as that will make the car legitimately legal in every state and territory we visit. You can do it post rego, but we were advised to perform this before rego. We do have a tailshaft vibration, but since the canopy has been fitted and we are now packed and ready for touring it's no longer an issue. There are a lot of good next gen groups on Facebook and they are really informative. We are extremely pleased with our vehicle. There are problems with every manufacturer . This is our experience. Just do your research and follow your instincts. 👍
@@kman6482 Also, Ford do not add an extra cost, but be aware, anything you add to your vehicle as in ARB accessories before the first registration, means you will pay a bit more in stamp duty
Hi, we don't have any scratch protection on this at the moment, we are however going to look at a clear adhesive wrap to put on in the near future. Cheers 👍
Aw. Your new rig and canopy is fully sick. Love it. That rig is looking so good. Jealousy alert. ❤
Congrats guys. So happy for you both.

Looks great guys what did the battery system set you back?
Hi, we purchased the system from Battery World. The system was 5k and the lithium battery 2k.
Thanks for commenting 👍

Hi
We had a GVM upgrade done to the Ranger pre registration.
We haven't had it weighed.
Thanks for your comment 👍
That has to be one of the best looking canopy’s I have seen. Can I ask how long is the tray/deck part and the canopy section?
Hi Chenoa, Thanks. We're loving it too
The tray is 1700mm
The canopy 1495 mm
Cheers

Hi guys, so when you had the lift and bar done, did ARB do the job or did Ford?

Also did this void your warranty?
@@thomasdowning1993 Ford won't cover anything that goes wrong with the canopy or rear sensors. However the vehicle itself is fully covered.
How is it protected from bush/ scrub scratches?? Cheers, r

How are the cross traffic sensors working?
Hi Tim
We've had absolutely no problems at all 👍
Looks good … where is room for a suitcase
There is room on the right hand side, above the large drawers.
26 k is crazy price
You get what you pay for in life. I could pay 7k and get rubbish.
