Thread: LWB Tub Canvas, where and how much?

The easy way
- ring four wheels drives and get your credit card out, big moolah

The hard way
- beg borrow or scrounge a set of hood sticks, find someone with a canvas tilt and have one made up to match or get onto the UK ebay and find one there for roughly the same cost once freight is factored in.

to attach it to a truck cab requires some specialist bits. Have a look at the four wheel drives download series parts pdf to get a better idea.

If you want to make it a LWB ute, I may have a canvas for a workshop type army ser 2/3 going for $150.00.
I thought it had sold and would need to see if the guy still wants it.

I converted my full length top to a 3/4 top when I went to a truck cab. Originally, about fifteen years ago it had cost me $600 from 4x4 motors (now in Mountain Highway I believe). The fittings to go on the back of the cab cost me $150 S/H from Four Wheel Drives about six years ago.

i reckon if you asked me real nice, once im on the ground in brisvagas, and i get unpacked I'll have a look in my box o junk and might have one thats up to the task in there.

Hey Clarkie
Mate have a look at the current army rear ends,they are wicked,much better than the old hoops canvas setup.
Copy the barwork and get a canvas shop to make the cover
There were some pics a while back,Im sure somebody has some to post.

Does anyone have pix of the army ones??????

PLEASE....................

Paddock has them, but i dont know what i need........

i know i need a 3/4 and you can get them for defender, but it has ones for Cab and ones for Body???? what is the difference???

Hood sticks i guess i can use the Series ones.

Clips for the ropes i will buy genuine if i can get them.... might have to get a uk bloke to get them... and ship here

i would like a version like the s3 ones where i can open the back window and just reach for a beer........

mmmmmmm

might have to get a quote for a local canvas maker.

Ohh why do we do things outside the circle???

Clarkie

Ok, these are the people you need to look at / talk to. cheaper than getting anything in australia generally.

Of you are having a hard top over the cab area, this is what you want I believe.



It connects to a rail around the window on the back of the cab so that you can open the window and reach in.

If you look down the left side you will see a link to the 90/110 section, that is whre you need to look in canopies. I'm not sure that the hood sticks are the same, but these guys have everything you need. call / e-mail them
