Really nice setup mate! Alot of the things we have done the same which is funny to see. Looking forward to seeing more content and have now liked and subscribed 👍
Really impressed with your set up mate. I’m about to embark on the same journey. I’m also in Cairns and would love to shout you a beer one day and yarn about the pros and cons. I’m trying to choose between CGI, Norweld (seems expensive and doesn’t have the modular fit) and the Mitsalloy…probably my favoured option to date. Well done mate, good set up.
Cheers mate! Yeah sounds good mate, you can msg me on our Instagram or Facebook also if you have any other questions, the mits is the best thing I’ve ever spent money on. So good!
Nice build. I’ve had my mits tray n canopy since Christmas and absolutely love it. Looks like we’ve gone very similar in set ups. Pinnacle did all my work. Putting the water tank you mentioned and gas hot water system in soon. Have subscribed 👍
Thanks! Yeah they’re a pos 15 offset, rims are boss vapours. 17x9 rim with 265/70 R17 tyres. I find the pos 15 to sit perfect and keeps it legal also👍🏼
Hey mate, question on the 12v panel. I've got myself a MITS canopy and about to wire up the 12v, my plan was to run all the wires behind the panel as much as possible but one thing I didn't factor in was the unistrut channels. Did you drill holes through that with grommets to run cables through? I'm thinking that's the way to go but also wondering if you went that route how you manage with taking the panel on and off with the cables going through the holes?
Gday mate. Just watching your video and notice the hinges on your canopy. Iv just built my own canopy but I’m interested in your hinges. Is there anyways I could get a closer look at them? Cheers
Thanks for the run through. Just wondering what diesel lockable cap you have on your fuel cap. We have just had a tray fitted and am finding it hard to find a lockable fuel cap. Would appreciate your info on the brand you went for.
Really nice set up. I keep looking lately at yours and others rigs and it is doing my head in a bit. I've just ordered a Rugged X but with a Ute Master Lid. The thing that bugs me most is that I can't fit a bull bar on it, as the one that it comes with can't be replaced apparently. Not sure if anyone has any ideas on that? Also the more I watch presentations like yours makes me think that the canopy is the way to go. I have a big caravan that I use my 200 with, but I hope to get back to basics and do more track camping in the traditional sense and use the Lux. Can you give a rough idea of the cost of the canopy? Although I am over west so that probably rubs me out anyway.
Thanks! Yeah I’ve heard you can’t change the front bar on the rugged x… yeah we love having a canopy! Tray and canopy was around 20k but there’s definitely cheaper ones around, I just liked the look and strength of the mits alloy.
Awesome build, convinced me to go an upright fridge. Got a couple of questions for you as I'm looking to gets a Mits on a Hilux soon. What did you do with the tub after it was removed? Was thinking most people would trailer it home and sell. What was main reason you went an SR5 over an SR?
Thank you! Yeah we love our upright so much, best decision we made (after the mits) for sure! I just left the tub with pinnacle 4x4 who fitted my tray, looked at selling and they were going for $200 so wasn’t worth trying to get it back to cairns to sell. Main reason for SR5 was the extra comforts, preferred the dash and interior, the led headlights etc, just think they look better and hold their value a bit more I guess, not sure of the differences on the latest models though
A fantastic review and a brilliant setup. Love the Hilux and the Mits Alloy tray and canopy. It's all fabulous, apart from the Kings awning, which is an insult to the rest of a high quality build. Maybe you could blank out the Kings logo with a little duct tape 😂You have yourself a new subscriber. Thanks for the review.
If i have car fully loaded the most i could legally tow is about 2.3T which sucks.. however mine is a 2019 model and GCM is only 5650KG. The new 2021 models are 5850KG i believe. Also the GVM upgrade i got only increases the GVM. I kind of wish i went the Lovells kit GVM/GCM upgrade as it increases GVM to 3500KG and GCM to 6500KG. I have heard they may be passing a law to legally upgrade GCM's so kinda hoping that happens... I still like the old fashioned rule of thumb in that you shouldn't tow anything heavier than the car itself.. the fact all these dual cabs are coming out with 3.5T "towing capacity" blows my mind...
@@daysoffdownunder3221 yeah right i waz also thinking about eventually getting a boat topper putting motor in back seat with two kids plus towing a hybird van for 4 didnt want to half to get a landcruiser for more feul rego insurance cost for doin long stints travln thanks for your input
@@daysoffdownunder3221 Cheers bro for the answer. I'm thinking of roof bar (a bit more side light inline with driver, weight off the front) but yeah, don't want reflection. I've same colour Hilux.
Hey mate, it’s held up good so far but haven’t done a proper cape trip in yet. If I did it again I’d go powdercoat black tray and canopy and doors 2 pac colour coded.. I do like the raw with the silver though..
@@daysoffdownunder3221 I don’t know about an actual mod bud I can’t imagine it would take much to drop headliner and make some stainless plates ? Have you seen Tyler’s vid for n the rhino
@@kromey111 nah our Hilux is a 2019 plated so only 3000kg gvm standard. Then upgrade brings it to 3465kg. By the time us 3 are in the car and and loaded right up to go away we are only 100-150 under the 3465 so it’s most definitely worth it
Awesome set up, would of cost an arm and leg. Shame you built it on the old N80 and didn't hold off to get yourself the new facelift with the higher torque and kW
Thanks mate. Yeah but all worth it and will last us a long time. Meh, wasn’t worried about the facelift, I’ll tune it to have much more power than the facelift anyways👍🏼
Nice rig but damm those things are terrible on fuel like to know other people's thoughts and yes I have driven one its my work Ute not my personal car.
Seriously, does everything these days have to be ‘Super Super’ this or that? Thoroughly over the butchering of the English language. The Hilux looks great, it’s definitely the type of SUV I would buy if the $$ ever flows my way.
Hi mate, great vid , i have a ome 2" lift on my 2021 hilux just wondering if you had to do any modifications to get them to fit without scubbing ?? cheers rims look great
Thanks mate. Only had to heat and bend the front plastic mudflaps a tiny bit to get them not to scrub. The 17x9 pos 15 offset sits perfectly flush with outer guards👍🏼
The colour combo on the bull bar looks amazing.
Thanks mate, wanted something a little different and we’re stoked with how it turned out👌🏼
That table is absolutely brilliant engineering.
Pretty insane hey! Such a good idea
Gee that is one of the most well executed Hilux’s I’ve ever seen.
Thanks mate🤙🏼
Ripper of a rig mate! You were absolutely spot on in that you have done it once and done it right!
Thanks mate!
awesome build mate, I just picked my 21 hilux up this week and you've given me plenty of ideas
Thanks! Glad you like it and good luck with your build!
Awesome mate!!! Keen to learn more about that roof top tent mate! Looks slick and tidy
Thanks Mitch! Tent vid should be up in next few weeks, been filming parts of it this morning👍🏼
Nice car mate. Keep up the good content
Cheers mate
Great video mate, Mits do a great tray and canopy.
Thanks Shane! yeah they sure do, we are so stoked with ours!! worth every cent!
nice rig
What a sick build - wow 😳 maybe some day
Thanks! We love it 👌🏼
Really, really nice Hilux. Great setup also. All the best.
Thank you, we’re so stoked with how it’s turned out!
I've got the same car and bullbar should of watch your videos earlier, the 2 colour tone on bullbar is amazing
Yeah I’m so glad I did it, came up a treat👌🏼
👍
great set up....exactly how I'd like to set my 2018 Hilux up. keep the videos coming. cheers
Thank you, we love it so far!
Good on you mate thanks for the tips, I'm in Darwin I will be doing the same with my new Hilux.
No worries mate, glad you enjoyed, good luck with your build 👍🏼👌🏼
wow, amazing build. Well done
Thanks!
Mate good job well researched!
Thanks mate🤟🏼
Nice build mate , well thought out :)
Cheers mate, plenty of research went into it that’s for sure
Nice toy mate👍👍
Cheers mate🤟🏼
Just found your channel. Very nice set up. Hopefully you will be posting again soon.
Thank you, glad you like the channel and setup :) we will be posting again soon, been a hectic few months renovating and with our little one
Such an awesome build mate, you should be bloody proud of how it all turned out 👌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks bud! 🙌🏼
Really nice setup mate! Alot of the things we have done the same which is funny to see. Looking forward to seeing more content and have now liked and subscribed 👍
Thanks mate! Oh really Haha, What rig you got? Cheers man, trying to get on top of some editing this week and get some more content up🤟🏼
Wonder if the trundle lid being side opening could double as a table or something 🤔
We just use it as a bench top, works well👍🏼
Still can't believe I now finally own one.
It's so stock I can almost hear her cry.
Haha! Time to add some extras🤟🏼
Great set up!
Thanks!
how much were the rims
the lux looks mint
Around $300 a rim. Cheers mate🤟🏼

@@daysoffdownunder3221 thanks for that info mate. I thought that might have been the case, good to know I'm on the right track!
Nice build, looks like you put a lot of thought into it.
Interested why you didn’t stick with Redarc for you inverter?
Cheers.
Thanks man, sure did! The same size redarc inverter is $1700 compared to $329 for the renogy one, it’s been awesome so far
Gday mate. Just watching your video and notice the hinges on your canopy. Iv just built my own canopy but I’m interested in your hinges. Is there anyways I could get a closer look at them? Cheers
Hey mate, they’re called aluminium waterproof hinges I’m pretty sure. Msg us on Instagram and I’ll send you some closer photos of it

No worries, glad you enjoyed! It’s a Tridon TFL237 from super cheap auto
Appreciate you reply.

Do you get much reflection on the bonnet from the roof light bar? Sweet build too, well thought out.
Cheers mate! Yeah I do get a little bit of reflection, I need to slot the brackets a little to angle it up a bit and will be sweet

@@bravoaussie yeah definitely wouldn’t go double row then, one of the thinner ones be better for no reflection as you can angle it a lot easier
Hi mate loving the setup,does the rhino platform and light cause much noise
Thanks mate! Nah with the light bar it’s actually quieter than without, fills the gap nicely and reduces the noise so much, can’t even hear it now
@@daysoffdownunder3221 hey mate how did you run the wiring for the light bar back to the cab? Awesome build and vids keep up the great work 👍

hey mate how has the raw milled ally held up as far as colour and marks? trying to decide on raw, 2-pac or black powder. Cheers
Hey mate, it’s held up good so far but haven’t done a proper cape trip in yet. If I did it again I’d go powdercoat black tray and canopy and doors 2 pac colour coded.. I do like the raw with the silver though..
nice setup ...How much cost you for canopy n tray
Hi Joel is your canopy mill finish - if so how has it aged?
Hi Julie, yeah I believe it is mill. It’s aged great compared to other ones I’ve seen around… such a nice finish and great quality product 🙌🏼
Any dramas with your rhino rack? Did you change the fixing to bolt through with spreader plates?
Nah no dramas so far. No I haven’t changed it. Is there an actual mod you can do to do that? I don’t trust the pop rivets..
@@daysoffdownunder3221 I don’t know about an actual mod bud I can’t imagine it would take much to drop headliner and make some stainless plates ? Have you seen Tyler’s vid for n the rhino

What magnet UHF did you use mate..?
It’s just a cabin crew magnet base from supercheap and stuck the metal plate on back of uhf, works a treat
I recommend unichip and not a flash tune , as the tuner owns you .

How much does she weigh man
Around 3T mate
I don't understand what is best mod stock lockers?
It’s a stocklock transmission lock up kit, locks the torque converter in at 80km to prevent the hunting of gears, so much smoother
