Fitting the custom drawers in the back was only the first step to making packing as easy as possible in the back. The next step was to replace the standard fibreglass canopy with an aluminium canopy.

After looking at different models, it was decided to fit an Alu-Cab with flaps on both sides, as well as a full-length flap at the back. With all three flaps open everything on the inside is within arm's length. This comes in especially handy at border posts and road blocks where officials want to have a quick look at your vehicle's contents, or simply when you want to take out something small from the back at a picnic spot on the roadside.

All the flaps of the aluminium canopy can lock, providing even more protection to the valuables inside. The canopy was designed with a roof rack on top, and in the next post we look at the rooftop tent. Keep following the progress on the Hilux Transformation page.
