It's been a little while but here's a bit of an update...

The big girl has undergone a fair few mods since I last updated with a list of never ending engine problems, that's all sweet now thank Christ.. After that episode the front diff was removed and repaired because it was playing up like a second hand lawn mower, installed diff, gearbox and transfer case breathers, knocked up some sideboards, had a canvas canopy built, made a false floor to suit the canopy, fitted an Arb awning + fire extinguisher and some other miscellaneous gear, fitted some 265/75 MTZ's, Longrange fuel tank and other shit I can't think of for the life of me... I'm currently in weipa with a couple of mates on our way to cape york and having an absolute blast.. Here's some photos of the ute progress and some front the trip so far..

Thanks bud, I haven't had alot of dust in the canopy itself but under the false floor there is a bit, I actually pulled out the tubs under the floor this morning and have everything a once over and any surplus dust that had made its way up into the canopy area itself.. I was talking to a guy before I left home and he recommended having a couple of flaps at the front to pressurise the canopy so dust can not force it's way in. Definitely something ill look at when I get home, but that's not for another 5 and a half weeks lol

Mate so envious of ur canopy set up!! Pretty well exactly wat I want! Can I ask wat the canvas set u back? And the cost of the steel? (Pm me if u like) and also wats the measurement between top of false floor to canopy ceiling? Does it feel too chlostrophobic? Sorry to bombard u but got so many unanswered queeries! :D
