MATTY’S HILUX

Matty came to us with his Toyota Hilux already fitted with a factory tray. Being a diesel mechanic, he wanted a custom canopy that would maximise storage for his tools. We built a canopy specifically to fit his existing headboard with custom racks and compartments for efficient organisation, all while maintaining the clean, factory look of the tray and headboard. Another example of a fully custom, work-ready build designed for daily use and maximum functionality.

The Build

  • 1400mm Canopy shape matched to the factory headboard

  • 10 custom-designed drawers for storage and visibility

  • Tradie style roof rack

  • Gates cut down to suit canopy and latches (no loss of factory functionality)

  • Powdercoat colour match on canopy doors

The Electrical

  • Battery mounted behind drawers to maximise space

  • Victron 30A DC-DC charger

  • Victron 15A MPPT solar charger

  • 125W Victron solar panel

  • 1000W Victron MultiPlus inverter/charger

  • Victron Bluetooth battery monitor

  • Hardkorr orange and white lights with 3-way switch

  • Central locking on tray boxes and canopy integrated with factory remote

  • Engel drawer fridge/freezer
