Awesome set up, refreshing to see a KZfaqr being honest and open with costing and sponsorships aswell. 👍

Looks awesome and nice to see something other than a 79.

I just purchased the EXACT same setup as you for my Navara. I cannot wait!!

Great vid, very informative and finally a video with a real break down on pricing so we can get a better idea for what we'd be up for. Looking forward to its evolution.

Bro that beard is Nek level. And the canopy hahah

Finally got a home for your poor old fridge and now your giving it the flick ! Great vid .

Came up mint mate! Perfect timing for me 😂 just going through the design process now for my new canopy build! My main motivation is reducing weight so that I can have a tinnie on top and still be legal towing the van. And because my import one is absolutely f***ed from our last 6mnths of touring.

Gday Tyler, I was apart of the crew who powder coated your canopy at Hastings valley, awesome to see it on the nav!

Your tray and Ute look great mate! You are a great role model for showing patience and just getting out there and enjoying camping/4 wheeling before worrying about how you look and what your car looks like as a camper /4WDer … You’ve done the hard yards now so it’s time to enjoy the rewards of setting up your Ute and tray exactly as it could be done to work best for you (& look sick at the sametime). Keep up the good work champ.

Just finished my canopy build with everything done 70lt water tank, ladder to the rhino rack lights on the doors with an Anderson plug in canopy with a clear view drop down fridge side. { many more extra's not listed }more than happy with it. Just came back from a trip to Sundown everything worked great . Enjoy your new setup It's so much better than a tub and worth ever cent you have spent.

Ok, american here. Diehard nissan guy, own a D40. Couple things. 1. I love the tray canopy as much as I miss the tub. 2. Losing the receiver is just crazy to me. 3. Where are you going to carry firewood? 4. Just how indifferent will your son be?? Love your work, love your family values, love your style. Be safe, shiny side up rubber side down bud!

The black and white contrast nicely. I dig it.

Seen it in person the other day looks amazing haha

Build looks unreal mate! Can't wait to see future videos out on the tracks with the new setup!

Just when I think I’ve got my setup all thought out, you post this and give me new ideas hahahah, sweet setup mate can’t wait to see what it looks like 100% complete.

Great video Tyler. I'd be putting your food storage and cooker next to the fridge rather than your fire pit. Keep one side for food and cooking, the other as your utility side.

That length canopy with open section at rear is the best of both worlds👍. Good way to keep the weight down by having a permanent fixture and no head board. My 13 yo daughter wants a ute as her first car, this setup would be perfect for me...I mean her in a few years time 👌😊

So how many times did you come out side with a beer, an just smile at your new truck LOL a bloody lot,great work Tyler great work.

I think what many people don't consider with a stand up fridge is the lower efficiency; every time you open the door the cold air flows straight out. The warm air replacing it needs to be cooled. I am amazed that Australian built Trailblazer Fridges by NorCoast Refrigeration are not more widely used. With a 50mm thick lid and 75mm thick walls and floor they are very efficient. Other wise a sweet setup. We are always balancing GVM which you have considered well.

All you viewers, give him a thumbs up if you've watched, help his content keep coming. Just a fan of his great work.

The Nav looks really good with the canopy Tyler mate, I'd go with a 250-300kg GVM upgrade just incase you decide to take a camper trailer on any future videos. What i realy like about your videos is firstly your cheeky navagator/extreme critic 😂 and more importantly your no nonsense honest outlook and narrating of your video's, keep up the great work mate 👍👍

If anyone deserves this beaut tray and canopy it's you Tyler. Happy as Larry for you and the departure angle is great. I do reckon the electrics are good in the car for weight balance. Congrats Tyler.

hi tyler i love the way you do your video so much information keep up the great work you are doing ,

I have found that unpainted ally checker plate tool boxes in the sun on a hot day and you cannot leave your hand on it because they get so hot, I think that an upright fridge that you cannot get an insulated cover for will be working a lot more than your chest fridge ( just something to consider). I had to build my own setup because I could not afford to purchase what I required to meet my needs. your setup is fantastic and I think you will enjoy it very much.

Ooooft this is a good looking setup mate, quality of workmanship in it looks next level too. Awesome stuff 👌🍻

That came out so good, completely transforms the look you must be so stoked with that. A good tweak would be another hinge on the lids of the jerry can holders so you can just open the top and use them to store firewood. Enjoy your trip mate. 👍

Just about to turn the puter off and there's Tyler with his new canopy...beauty !!...hit pause...get cold drink, and enjoy. A mate and I went up to Glasshouse mountains today for a play. That was a fun day. You are gonna love that new exit angle mate. It might be a bit more trouble getting into your rooftop. Ladder all the way now. Glad to hear that Dad's MUX was a reasonably inexpensive fix. No wonder they are so expensive, when you see the amount of work that goes into them. It's good to see you so excited about your new build. The only difference between us and boys is the cost of our toys...lol Looking forward to your next video mate. Happy New year to you and Dad, and all your family.

Nice Canopy. I'd love one. If you ever hang up the boots on 4x4 and camping, you could always pick up an axe and become a Viking, pillaging your way up and down the country on KZfaq - I'd certainly watch that.

I like the alloy canopies aesthetically (I've come around to them, I used to think they were hideous) but I'm a mountain biker and half the reason I have a ute is to throw the bikes in the back without worrying about anything so I could never personally replace the tub with a canopy.

love it .... ultra tidy and light kept it very simple for now and then just add the trundle and boxes later

Hi Tyler, love the new set up. What about a drifta drawer with their built in slide out table(under the drawer) that you can use for a bench as well, same side as the fridge. Then you have all the kitchen gear on one side, (dry food box/bag could go on top) with the water tank tap on same side under the tray. A long alloy tray above the fridge and drawer to put chairs, camera stand etc. Other side could have boxes for spare parts etc and your battery system (if you're getting it out of the cab). 4wd set ups are my favourite🙂. Don't forget the wheel bag/bin you can now have strapped on, enjoy.

Looks absolutely awesome! Perfect setup for what you do. Enjoy! The beard is looking gnarly mate haha

Great work on the setup mate. Great to hear you talk about gvm and weights. Also I love how you’ve kept it simple to start with and will build on it as you go as you live and camp with it. Looking forward to some more vids mate. Keep up the great content. Cheers

Tray and canopy looking great, well done ..your starting to look like Grizzly Adams ,just grow your hair a bit longer and your there.

Thank you for sharing the awesome video mate. I got a fair bit of idea of building canopies for the future. 👍

So cool to see how excited you are about this. It looks great I am using plastic drawes to keep my weight down & and a 65L up right fridge I love the fridge & yes the food moves around a bit but still way better than having to reach into the chest one.

Can't get the smile of your face grizzlzz 😁 so glad to see you so excited cos you've really earnt it mate 👍👌 good onya for being so honest with all the details - very refreshing 👍 can't wait to see more

Awesome. Don't forget to upgrade your insurance. Having said that, insurance is an episode (video) in its own right.

At last someone telling us the cost thanks very much

dunno whats more impressive, the beard or canopy!

Good work Tyler - I drive a Hilux but it’s so refreshing to see.Navara for a change and I’m doing the same setup at the moment. - so much better than tub and ARB canopy with me breaking the rear window $650 for a new one) and being short the tray/canopy height is brilliant for me - John in SA

Looks awesome! So great to see great workmanship on our beautiful Mid North Coast 👍

Exactly what I was going to do, along with a 300mm chassis extension, but changed mind after seeing the short-comings of towing a heavy load up some steep-ish hills. I was convinced tray and canopy would be lighter than my tub and factory canopy. In the end it doesn't matter now. MITS canopy and tray exactly the same was 17k....... Rig looks great......

doing the same atm, get the 85l bushman fridge

Looks awesome TT, I love the short canopy with the weight over the tyres . And the black n white looks fantastic.

The build is looking awesome man can’t wait till you finish it 👍👍

Nice mate! Get a Travel Buddy 12v oven too, it’ll change your life 👍

Looks awesome, well done. So you'll be getting it setup more this week coming then....😁

Love it, great setup mate and love your channel 🤙

Looking good!! 🇿🇦 Love the way the tray and canopy suits the vehicle and can't wait to see the finished product!

Great build, very well made and thought out. Like the powder coat job, lucky Tyler :)

Looks cracking mate especially black on white at the end of the day this is what you do things change looking forward to seeing the end result 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love the white and black mix. Well done. This will most likely change the center of gravity some, so I can't wait to see you take it offroad.

those upright fridges are certainly worth it space saving and storage, just dont throw or sell your old fridge comes in handy as a freezer on long trips away, just my 2 cents

Awesome video. Can't wait to see the battery set-up in the back

Mate after watching so many KZfaq vids with canopies id keep it simple. Put the new fridge in & maybe 2 slide out benches then the rest just get light weight storage. All these extra draws & stuff just take up to much space. Just my opinion. Canopy looks great.

Looking very versatile Tyler, I’m sure you’ll put it through its paces! Safe travels.

Far out what a transformation from stock. Looks sick, can't wait for future vids!

Awesome video. Been a cnc waterjet, laser, press brake operator in nz for about 9 years now.

Unreal, really changes the look of the truck! Looking forward to seeing how it goes out on the tracks. Something to ponder for my truck down the line now haha

Sweet rig ❗️👌🏼 Congratulations mate, looking forward to seeing the end product. Looks like a quality build & liking the modular design . . . 🤔 maybe one day❗️

Good to see the canopy but I am so impressed with the color grading work on this video you have done.

What a great price for what looks like a well made bit of kit. Certainly cheaper than other companies of the same caliber. Can’t wait to see the inside fit out mate, cool video 🤘🏼

Looking purposeful now dude! Gonna be game changer for your trips.

Nice one mate. You’ll love it. Makes the camping experience so much easier and more enjoyable. I went for a wind off Norweld unit myself. I really wanted to retain the actual Ute capability as well. It cost a fortune but it is pretty epic, and came fully kitted out with electrics and drawers etc. Cheers

Thanks for showing things as they really are! Quality video. Liked and subscribed! Sweet ride man 👍

Looking great Tyler, you won't know yourself

Proud of how far you have come mate. Been watching your videos for years now and it's amazing how much your work has grown and what you achieved. So here's to that 🍻🍻🍻. Also, where can I get one of them t-shirts? I wanna get one before you change the logo to a Nav with a Canapy on, lol.

Great build buddy, do yourself a favor and think about putting your drawers on the same side as your fridge. Love your channel buy the way.

Looks sick man. Super stoked for you. Interested to see a stand up fridge. Definitely have to get a travel buddy in there..for your vego pies😉

the beard is getting hektic , bro Nav looks the goods man congrats

Looks awesome looking forward to seeing the full fit out for some inspiration for my own build!!

Looks mint Tyler. Bit outside my price range atm but I liked the price breakdown. Looking forward to new adventures in 2021

That it bloody awesome! Loving the set up so far 👌

Well done Tyler. I was wondering when you were going to upgrade. Personally I would have extended the canopy another 25cm and not had that flat area. A quick fold out table would've done the job and you'd have more storage. Good luck with it and thanks for sharing

Great build / set up buddy , looks freekin awesome .. tc ... keep those bloopers coming :)

Awesome video mate, the breakdown is refreshing to see. Great setup :)

That Santa Claus look - hard to focus at the content and not think at what Santa brought this year :))

Looks awesome Tyler! Stoked to see some footage of it on the trail and in use! Congrats

Damn sum1 is baller now😂😂good stuff Tyler

Top job guy's well done, looks awesome. Can't wait to see it finished. Enjoy the trip.

Looks mint👌🏼 good call to do the upgrade. You won’t know yourself

Mint mate 👌 love how upfront you are about it all, fresh

That is a ripper of a canopy ........ Well Done GWorks

Looks great and very well priced. Thanks for the wakthrough.

Looking great. I'm very happy for you Tyler.

Looks great Tyler! Can see your excitement to get get it out there on the next trip. Looking forward to seeing that vid when ready. Been hearing ur name pop up on some fb groups so keep up the good work and HNY Mate!! Adam.

Thats looking mint mate, Might go similar on my ranger. Cheers Steve

Great vid Tyler. Good to see how to get the canopy designed. Also you said you were trying to keep weight down for GMV. It is actually GVM. lol

I've been waiting for this day! So stoked for you mate.

Nice set up!

Thanks for sharing Tyler, looks great. Happy New Year and safe travels.

Amazing content mate, your channel continues to inspire me and this is why I will be starting one as well. Loved the behind scenes of the canopy getting made. Keep up the great work Regards Sarge

Looks awesome! Congrats on the build!!

Awesome build. I love your chosen dimensions.

Very professional. GWORKS did an excellent job. I guess you kept the tub so you can refit it one day if you change vehicles. Then transfer the tray onto the next 4WD ??

You’ll have to get new t shirts printed now

cool Tyler looks mint mate. Happy New Year. Cheers

Great setup. Looks great 👍🇦🇺😎

Nice to see a focus on weight, so many builds just ignore GVM.
