The Ultimate MRT Canopy Setup! Full walkthrough and 8 month review

MRT Canopy review of the setup on the back of my 2022 Isuzu Dmax! After putting my MRT tray and canopy setup through its paces over the past 6-8 months, I thought it was about time I put together a thorough run-through of all the specs and features as it's been requested quite a bit.

You both can be proud of what you've got there guys. Just an awesome setup.

Great comprehensive review. Looks like a cracking good canopy. Well done.

I've just spent the last 8 hours binge watching your videos 😅 I'm hooked! My boyfriend just started a 3 on 1 off fifo gig and I now know what I'll be doing whilst hes away (decking out his Hilux canopy). Love how your videos are easy to understand but also very informative and explain honest pros and cons. Keep up the great work, you have a new fan 😊

After watching this, we ordered one .Great presentation and review. Thanks.

Great walkthrough mate! Looks like an amazing setup :)

[michealedwards]

As always, very well presented and awesome build, cheers.

Thanks Daniel - you’re definitely a kid in a lollie shop now - it’s such a voyage of discovery and after 18 mths trialling the setup I can now permanently install everything- after receiving an outrageous quote for the fit out like you I’ve decided to continue doing my own and putting the money saved towards a good electronic setup - I’m using a 1600mm lift off ETB (VIC] canopy (internal and underfloor tube bracing) and still working through the latch to tray fixing design after replacing them with better ones from Bunnings - the 1800mm aluminium tray allows 200mm for fitting jerry can holder and mountain bike carrier and now I’m a drawer slide expert 👨🏼‍🎓

Hey Daniel, great review and videos. Any chance you could do a review on how the canopy is going after a couple of years at the wear points like hinges, water seals, door handles and locks etc and welded joins as these canopies remain fairly young since first coming out and there aren’t really videos from people owning a couple of years.

Very Happy with our similar canopy but added 4 extra clamps after our last CSR trip to ensure it stayed put in severe corrugations

[chriscuppywhitehead]

Thanks for the information. It's definitely a brand I'd consider alot more now as I've grown to trust your word. 👌

With the cooker you could turn it upside-down and mount to the roof (might need a strap to retain the cooker cover). Split the roof and hinge at the base of the end (L shape frame) so that you can flip the roof down so the cooker now sits upright but lower than the base of the draw. This lowers the cook top height as well as gives you additional bench space (the floor of where the cooker currently sits) also at a lower height (the base of the draw)

In a very strange coincidence, I clicked away from the MRT 'explorer package' site and went to Youtube to se served this video as my first recommend-o with it being only a few hours old.

Looks like good value. Other's are upwards of $30K plus.

For your ladder i suggest get some foam and padd it up where it rubs the door I did that zero rubbing now

[louiskudlak]

Great video, very informative and professional, great product, one thing I will say is how much the 4wd scene & 4wd products & accessories has exploded over recent years, only way I could afford your canopy set up is to put it on my mortgage, don't know how some people afford those accessories especially with family/children, looks awesome though

[jakewaze]

Great videos videos mate, keep it up.
I think I just cut you off at the car wash too, apologies about that 👍

[stonie]

Would love to see what kind of stuff you take for a weekend trip away

[andrewpeene]

Awesome run-down of your canopy 👍
Just curious how much does the canopy weigh with all your gear on ? And do you know what your dry weight was before installing all your items

[JRCadventures]

Another great video mate. Making me want to get a canopy

[josiededman]

Awesome video, very informative. Im sold!
