Alpha Canopies in Brissy???

Postby broke on Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:00 +0000

Hey all, I'm wanting to put an Alpha Canopy on my 06 DC Hilux. Can't find anyone in Brisbane that does it, even on Google.

Can somebody help me?

Cheers in advance....Daniel

Bluey's Ute world sells them. Although if you are going to Sydney anytime, I think the sydney Bluey's store is slightly cheaper...
Although the guys in the sydney store were quite rude when I got mine fitted, they are well aware that they are the only ones who retail those canopies and customers can't go to another shop, otherwise I would have !

Thanks fellas, but from what I can gather the closest store to me in Toowoomba is Sydney. I was hoping there was one in Brissy as those canopies look pretty good.

I've got an alpha canopy on my lux, but if i was going through it again i would be spending the extra and getting a carryboy. There just seems to be a few quality issues, and it has just developed a substantial water leak from around the rear window. And as Rich said the guys at Bluey's at Blacktown aren't the most helpful people around.

Thanks Mick, I just like the rounded shape more than anything else.

Let us know how the fexiglass looks/ costs. I will be in the market for one soon but unsure which brand is best for the money. I also want to get a roof top tent so probably need to fit internal bars but dunno.
