I greatly enjoyed your speed of speech and how you never said "ahh" or "umm" like with most 4wd info videos I've been watching. Thanks for the efficient and detailed info.
At 4:19 you can see a pretty good set up but do you think you’d be able to do that but with a chest fridge and still be able to slide in a table at the rear wall of the canopy?
man i was super keen on a mits canopy and still think they are the best option but ended up buying a trojan just because the adelaide dealer took too long to get back to me when i was looking
Absolutely! All the trays in the video are exactly the same length (1765mm). You can take the tray from the vehicle you have now, e.g Hilux, and transfer it over to another vehicle, like a Ranger, Dmax etc with what we call a transfer kit. This contains the vehicle specific mounts for the new vehicle along with all the required wiring harnesses, sensor mounts etc. Taking the package from vehicle to vehicle is the best way to take advanatge of the lifetime manufacturing warranty.
Looking at all of those twin cabs the rear Axel and wheels are close behind the cab wall. That makes loading even a 1500 length canopy critical. Things like rear mount spare tire is questionable. Steering safety is affected. Why don't the vehicle manufacturers supply the twin cab with say a 300mm longer chassis/ wheelbase.
Hi Andrew, we are sorry we can't help with your Raptor build. There are a few factors at play, namely GVM. If we can assist in the future please let us know
Good one. They all look good. And based from various feedback I've heard & read, also well made. 👍 Quick question... Do you do, or would you consider doing a double stack drawer system with an upright fridge setup for a 4WD wagon (80 Series)? I want an aluminium drawer setup. But so far all the 4WD drawer system makers near me that I've found (Central Coast, NSW), only work with wood. I'm trying to reduce weight that I carry on my 4WD. And with an aluminium drawer setup and ditching the chest fridge and fridge slide with an upright one, will save a lot of weight. Please advise. Cheers.
@@mitsalloy Thanks for responding. I think you should seriously consider it. It could be another revenue stream for you guys. No one really does alloy drawers, in NSW. IMO alloy drawers will become more sought after, as more 4WD owners try to reduce the weight they carry. Weight reduction as a priority is starting to take off.
Hi Ryan, we do the 1765mm tray for all dual cab utes. We understand that some people prefer short lengths, but we need to strike a balance between weight distribution, overhand and storage capacity. We don't produce other sizes for dual cabs, as all of our engineering and testing has been based around the 1765mm length.
How much roughly is the best hilux tray and canopy setup with open storage but one bushman fridge spot and one same size dog box rest open? Ladder, jerry and wheel on back. Elec setup for fridge and roiftop tent solar? Powdercoated graphite (2019 hilux sr5 rogue)
Hi Grant, Thanks for your comment. We only sell our canopies to be fitted to a MITS Tray. We do this for a number of reasons. Mainly, we offer a lifetime warranty with all our canopies and trays. We can do this because we have conducted the R&D and testing on our platforms and the structures of both products have been designed to work in conjunctions with one another. Mounting to different suppliers trays is not something we do. Also, our canopy mounting methods use propietry bushes, and these are designed to integrate with tray structure on our MITS Trays.
I plan on coming over from NZ soon and buying a fully set up second hand rig to do what I've called "The Ozzie Block" . A twelve-month adventure around your amazing country. Can anybody point me in the right direction.
If I got the base model canopy and tray can I later buy the wheel carrier, ladder, jerry, can holder, under water tank or do I have to get that when ordering. in other words what can't I get after buying a tray and canopy. can I put a roof top tent on a 1000 canopy and ladder racks?
Hi, you definitely can do those accessories you mentioned at a later date. All canopy accessories, including rear wall layouts. internal canopy options (i.e things that can be bolted in), roof racks, tray accessories like sideboards and a ladder rack, can all be done later. Out of those, the only one we would recommend doing at the start is the under tray tank as it requires a shorter under tray drawer (800mm, not 1500mm).
For anyone who has watched the final episode on 4wd 27 of the Kimberley series you know that Shaun rolls over imagine if that was you with your half dog half living canopy your poor dogs would roll over inside.

Love the mitsalloy canopies but man Canopies really are at the point now where they are virtually unattainable without finance. Its essentially a second small car.
I really do like the innovation of mits but for what you pay it blows me away they skimp out on very old and cheap looking tail lights. It’s a huge let down in my opinion.

It would be cool to see you guys do a set up for wagons as i like your innervation with the canopys
Hi Jamie, thanks for your comment and feedback. Perhaps in the future
No air intakes for cooling fridge and electronics in summer.
Great video Harry love it...
Thanks Shanon!
Awesome video, well done lads
Thanks Aaron!

Really good video
You guys really make some great products.
It'd be nice if you just gave rough prices. I don't wanna fill out a massive questionnaire just to get a ball park figure.
You don't have to! All of our prices are listed on the website
Great video. Well explained.
Thanks Simon & Liz!
I might of missed this information, but are the canopies easily removed so as to have just the flatbed for everyday use?
Great presentation 🙂
I now know where I'll be going
Thanks for the insight
🍻
Thanks Scott! Looking forward to it!
How do I get this done for the 2023 Raider in South Africa?
man i was super keen on a mits canopy and still think they are the best option but ended up buying a trojan just because the adelaide dealer took too long to get back to me when i was looking
Hi Benny, thanks for your feedback. We have passed this on to the team in S.A
Hi how’s the Trojan canopy treating you?
Is it a removable one?
How much weight did it add?
What are the dynamic load ratings of the canopies? Would I be able to load a 300kg tinny on top?
Are the trays easily removed an fitted to say a different vehicle if u upgraded from 1 brand to another???
Absolutely! All the trays in the video are exactly the same length (1765mm).

Why don't the vehicle manufacturers supply the twin cab with say a 300mm longer chassis/ wheelbase.
There is considerations for turning radius and breakover angle.
Do you do a 2100mm canopy for a 300mm chassis extension on a new Hilux?
Can we shipping it to overseas ?
Unfortunate that your not doing anything for the next gen raptor tray and half canopy would suit me just perfect

I'd be interested to know the answer to this one. I could be interested if you offer them.

Would custom tray lengths be an option I would prefer 1600 long personally

Do you have to use a MITS tray or can just the canopy be fitted to say a 79 heavy duty steel tray?

Thanks for your comment. We deliver our trays with these tail lights and rarely receive negative feedback. We will take it on board. Thank you
Do they improve departure angle for off road?
Amarok ?
