I recently had a TJM canopy fitted, as per
http://www.tjm.com.au/en-oceania/produc ... eries=1837Specs:
* Material: Fibreglass
* Thickness: 5mm
* Smooth, high gloss exterior Finish
* Sliding Front Window
* Size: Dual & Extra Cab Available
* Roof Height: Midline
* Brake Light: Yes (???)
* UV Resistant: Yes
* Roof Rack Mounts: Pad reinforcing 300 x 300mm x 1.3mm, AS 1235; 2000 100kg rated
* Glass: Tempered safety glass
* Security: Rear door & side lift-up window- double pozi catch-latch & locking handles
* Water Barrier: Customised rubber seal with encapsulated foam core provides impenetrable water barrier
Two of the winning factors for me were the TJM canopy doesn't need the top lip of my existing tub liner cut off for installation, and there's a sliding window at the front of the canopy that can act as a vent. I opted for a sliding driver's side window and a lift-up passenger side window for versatility.
I've tacked a Bluetooth temperature sensor with a high temperature alarm to the ceiling, as we take the dogs on roadtrips with us semi-regularly. Depending on the canopy temperature with the vent window & slide-out window both open, I might fit an evaporative fan to keep dogs cool. For safety I used to tie the dogs to the headboard with chest harnesses, but now that the headboard's been removed I'll fit a removable cable across the tub that the dogs could use as a runner, rather than give them free reign to the entire tub, especially if we store some shopping or an esky near the tailgate!
I might paint or contact-cover the interior as it came unpainted.
Total cost (incl some additional labour to massage out the majority of a large ding in the tub 1/4) came to $3400.
