Pressurising hilux canopy

Thanks Kev, these are most likely mounted on the roof and I was hoping to avoid any extra height; I currently just get into 2.1 metre clearance carparks. Worth considering though if it can be fitted almost flush.

Have you tried looking at the standard pop up ones then and putting a filter on them instead, just don't don't use it in the rain :)

ATM I can't get into a 2.1m car park and it is a PITA, but the high roof canopy and rack far out way the inconvenience of car parks, I prefer to keep away from them.

G'day Crackles,

I have already run some of the self adhesive Clark Rubber strip around the tailgate gap, but I have found it difficult to positively seal and with the sort of use it gets, keep it in good condition.

The silastic and gladwrap is worth investigating though.

Thanks,
Shep

Thanks for the lengthy suggestion sdr00y. Having either a side or the front window of the canopy open still means I have to stop the vehicle to close it and I have tried the passenger side window without success; still lets dust in.

Perhaps I am being too fussy or there is currently too much flow-through.

Shep

G'Day Ron,
Whats an engine bay blower and how does it work?

No idea what that is Ron, so will check at my local marine shop.

Thanks for the suggestion.

G/day Paul & BM engine bay blowers are usually located... yep in the engine bay of boats with inboard motors, in particular petrol motors, prior to start up the blowers are turned on for a few minutes to evacuate any fumes that may have built up from the last time that the motor was run, even the smallest leak has the potential for a huge explosion, I`m sure you`ve all seen footage of pleasure craft fires, I`m not saying they eliminate all fire risk, just that they would minimise the initial explosion, anyway before getting bogged down in the above I`ll cut to the chase. If Paul were to install one in the back of his rig all he need to do when traversing a dusty track is flick a switch in the cab, the blower provides a positive air pressure in the back keeping the dust out, it goes without saying that you do all the other dust eliminating procedures as well then all the little ones that you miss/can`t get to will be taken care of by the blower; They don`t draw much current, the wiring is as simple as, & a hole to clean air inlet is the only cosmetic change needed. Simple but effective. Good luck. Cheers Ron.

Brilliant Ron, Thanks for that. Sounds like the go.
Mike

Likewise Ron, maybe a computer fan is sufficient, thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers,
