Smart! :thumbup:

You might want to consider bracing that canopy internally to support the rack that's on top. A few rougher trails and you might start getting cracks in the glass fibre, especially on the upper corners at the lid. :think:

Enjoy! ;-)
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Welcome Steve, use the finishing around the door sills, which is metal enclosed in rubber, under the feet of the roof racks. Cut it a bit longer than the length of the feet of the roof rack, which will prevent your roof racks from working through the roof sills

@Andy + @Edge - thanks for that advice - I will definitely look into it.

@Edge - could you give me some more info about "the finishing around the door sills" - I just don't quite get what you mean. Is this a product that I can buy somewhere ?
