Thread: Flash alloy ute trays and canopies

What options are available in NZ? M2 overland a)don't make something that will fit my Lux (not long enough) and b) cost THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

Yes

There's clearly a lot of material cost and work that goes into them. A bit on the costly side for me though

do you mean something like this
Huntcamp

Yup exactly so, might give those guys a call

@gimp these guys do nice work Shelyron Fabrication, Aluminium Toolbox Drawers, Stainless Steel Welding Services, Aluminum Boat Repair Welding, Sheet Metal Fabrication, Boat Ladder, and Stainless Steel Animal Cages in Rangiora
No idea on pricing but I saw a 70 series cruiser the other day that they had built a deck/canopy for and it looked very nice!

There are manufacturers everywhere over here. Very common for the touring/overlanding set. I’d think some must ship to nz. Pricing often includes a new custom tray that fits/matches up to the canopy and jacks the price up. Also quite a few cheaper aluminium canopies manufactured in China that you add your own internals too. These are 5-6k

Don't be afraid to look into the second hand market, a lot of good quality gear in good condition but it just needs to be found which takes internet research and phone time.

Shelyron do some very nice stuff. We've had quite a few done for customers.

Ex work colleague imported his from Oz for around half the price of anything manufactured locally

We use UteMaster at work
Very good units

Central Custom Engineering in Alexandra do excellent work from their well-equipped workshop, standard production items as well as custom-built units. I get a range of parts made on their CNC water jet unit, good quality and reasonable prices.

That is absolute insanity, for the price of a fully kitted out 1998 patrol holy shit, how do they justify that

Arrow fabrication Dunedin do a lot of ute work https://www.facebook.com/ArrowFab/ Alex has a lot of experience in a wide range of alloy fab work boat building etc.
