Mine is a genuine Toyota (EGR) canopy so if you have another brand, the mounts required may differ. I'll start with the Pioneer platform. If you have the same canopy, you will need the internal support kit from Toyota. After lots of measuring, I chose the 42100B which is 1528x1236mm. Any wider on the EGR canopy and the lift up side glass will hit. The original bars are similar to a Rhino Rack Vortex but unfortunately, the fixings that come with are not compatible with the bars on the Pioneer platform. I ended up purchasing 2 sets of EGR-HD kits from Rhino Rack which allow the platform to bolt straight on to the EGR posts.
The next part is the Rhino Rack roof rails RTS543. Fairly easy to mount and very good instructions. It said not to use a hand riveter, so I purchased a rivet attachment from Total Tools that goes in your drill. Now that is a great piece of kit! The legs I chose for my application are the RLTP type and are extremely low profile. I'm waiting of the vortex adaptors and the wedges for these feet. I put the 3m straight edge on and its very close to level at the moment but I'll wait for the adaptors and wedges before looking at spacers. I would have preferred the quick release legs, but they would have been too high.

Any pics of the inside of the tub? I can't decide whether to have the platfrom on the cab or canopy. Also have the genuine canopy on mine.
