do you have any details of close up pics of your new tornea (sp?) cover? looks like a good job, how is it attached at the cab end of the tub?

I have Alu cab and soft canopy and would like a tornea for when they are not on the other thing I need is a way of interchanging between them more easily, fat chance!

The thing I notice when I have the alu cab off is how spritely she is! Like a different car!

Attached to the front was the easy bit ,just used the aluminum strip with the 4 thumb screw bolts it came with, off the existing canopy . Took the canopy off in 1 piece left the cover on the frame..5 minute change over.
Only reason I sewed my own was because a motor trimmer wanted $390 to sew 3 seams on 1.3 mtrs of tonneau cover..and in a former life I was a furniture upholsterer for 25 years probably helps..

Looks good Dawsey. It makes it the most versatile vehicle out there I reckon. (The 130's just tooooo big ;))

I have to make my cover sit up about two inches above the side as the fridge will be in there all the time, so although I want a soft cover, I may have to have a hard lid instead.

Just need a set of Roll Bars to suit :cool:.
Murray's gear is excellent. I've got like his prototype one. Works very well, but I've still got to modify the main arm to suit what I want.
