    Great video, I have that on the back of my canopy, do which sometime we sleep inside the truck. Do you know if with the whale tail has a way to open from inside and not make lockable from the outside when we are inside? Cheers!

    Have a look at the Vector 3 from Industrilås. Comes with and without central locking. No need for padlock do lock the handle in place.

    Have seen whales handles ripped off with a bar through the lock shackle. A further improvement is using a shrouded lock 👍

    Did mrt give these to you to test out? Cant seem to find them on their website. Was one of the only things i didnt like when i got the explorer package!

      Yep this particular kit I've been testing out for MRT and I believe they'll be making them available soon 🙂

    Did you use your existing central locking actuators or did you need new actuators with the whale tails?

    Always look forward to your content. I noticed on your last video that you’ve added a hard rock awning to your set up. I’ve just put one on my vehicle but having real difficulty getting it to open! I’ve tried twisting the locks on the side every which way but cannot get the awning to slide out. Any advice would be appreciated. I’d also love to see a review on the awning in the near future. 😉👍🏻

      Good spot! We've been testing it out over the last couple of months with the plans to do a proper review/run through once we've tested it properly - hoping to have something out in the next month. 🙂

      @@explorebound Cheers mate! I would really appreciate any advice on opening it tho? I do believe I have a faulty product and @OutbackEquipment are horrendous to get hold of. Is yours tricky to open? I pop out the side tabs and nothing happens! Had mates look at it with no success either.
      Any tips as to how you open it would be greatly appreciated ;)

      @@paintandpinotinperth7868 Oh that's frustrating! When mine was a bit stuck one time I popped a small flat head screwdriver into one of the sides and sort of levered that side out, once it clicked out I was able to grab it and resume setup as per normal but not ideal.

      @@explorebound That’s interesting to know. Ironically I finally got mine to open after taking it off my rack in preparation for collection! Now I’m not sure whether to keep it or exchange it. But all seems ok so far. I’m looking forward to seeing your review on it. I’ve heard a few complaints about it rattling so I’d love to know your thoughts. I haven’t done any big corrugations since I’ve had it. Thanks so much for the reply you legend! 👍🏻

    Can the Whale Tail lock replace the T lock that i have on my tool box now

    Great Video, I have same canopy, want to swap t-bar for whale tail locks, which ones did you get, I have the MRT central locking as well. Great canopies 😀

    • @explorebound
      @explorebound  ปีที่แล้ว

      These particular locks were from MRT so were a direct swap for the factory T locks (including the keyless entry), I believe they'll be available to the public soon so will pop a link here when I have one. 🙂

    Are they a MRT product,
    and how is the fitment into the Tlock cutout.

    • @explorebound
      @explorebound  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah the new ones are from MRT and fit the old T lock cutouts perfectly. The way they mount to the canopy door is a bit different than the T locks (they essentially clamp through the door), so the kit came with blanking plates to cover the factory T lock screw holes for a neater finish.
