Hi Joe. Is that a fibreglass canopy? If it is, I am glad to see it can take the weight of the roof-top tent!
Hey Johan yes it’s fiberglass but it doesn’t take the weight of the roof top tent. There is internal bars that penetrate through the canopy to support the roof top tent. Check out my article on canopy roof racks.
Hey Joe, I am thinking about installing a long rang fuel tank in my Hilux. The upside being greater flexibility in where to purchase fuel and greater range. The downside being slightly less clearance and driving about with a perpetually half full tank when not using the Hilux on long range camping trips. I have looked through your site and you don’t mention anything about long range tanks. What are your thoughts on their value?
Hey Nicholas I wrote a bit about my long range tank about 2/3 down this page:

It’s a good thing. Saves you money since you fuel up at major centers and allows you to confidently go further into remote areas. When tackling really remote offroad tracks you need extra fuel anyway. Long range tank is better than jerry cans.
