Vehicle fitment considerations

We assess each vehicle before installation so the finished setup works with its factory equipment and your planned accessories.

Toyota HiLux

  • Confirm tray, tub and sports-bar configuration before canopy or drawer selection.
  • Check compatibility with factory camera, central locking and tailgate accessories.
  • Plan lighting mounts and wiring around bullbar, grille and existing electrical accessories.

Ford Ranger

  • Confirm generation, tub length and factory accessory package before ordering.
  • Review clearance for roller shutters, sports bars, roof racks and rear camera systems.
  • Allow for auxiliary battery, towing and trailer wiring when adding drawers or lighting.

Isuzu D-Max

  • Confirm model year, tub configuration and any factory rear-step or tow equipment.
  • Check canopy and drawer mounting points against existing liners and rail systems.
  • Plan LED wiring routes to protect them from heat, movement and water exposure.

Other popular utes

  • Provide your make, model, year, body style and existing accessories for a compatibility check.
  • Tell us how you use the vehicle: work, touring, towing, camping or mixed use.
  • Bring details of any aftermarket electrical, roof-rack or tray modifications to your appointment.

Before you book

Do I need to bring my vehicle in before ordering?

A vehicle inspection is the best way to confirm compatibility, especially where you have existing accessories, electrical upgrades or tray modifications.

Can I combine a canopy, drawers and lighting in one fitment?

Yes. Planning the complete setup together helps us account for access, weight, wiring and future accessories.

What should I bring to my installation appointment?

Bring your vehicle keys, details of existing accessories and any product or configuration decisions you have already made.
