Bill,

Thanks mate.
I like the look of your canopy. What brand is it and if you dont mind me asking how much did it set you back??

Croc

Nah !!!!

Mine looks better than sandmans ;-) Check with ARB, you can have sliding or liftup windows.

Mine only looks like a Colorado.

Malcolm

Like Malcolm's, mine is also an ARB brand canopy.
I chose the standard height model as I didn't need extra height in the canopy and lift up windows on both sides to allow greater flexibility with access.
The standard height model allows me access to underground car parking, low bridges, etc.

I also selected an integral steel frame underneath the canopy to increase the load carrying capacity "on top" should I need it.

Bill.

Malcolm and Sandman,

Thanks for the info, I like the look of them cause they match the height of the cab, less wind drag and all that. I like the idea of side access as well.
Can I ask you blokes if you have 16" tyres and what pressure's you run, tyre placard say's 200kpa front and 280kpa rear. front seems a bit soft.

Mine are standard issue: 245/70R16

When I first drove the vehicle, it was like riding on a crowbar. Each tyre was about 100kpa over inflated. I let them down to what the decal says and it now rides quite well.

I know what you mean, mine were way up too. I dropped them down and get a much better ride, but a mate I know who owns a tyre joint said to run them at 38-40psi all round for better fuel economy.

Daza,

Thanks for the feedback, I could not imagine them getting an easy time in that situation, so that sounds good.
