    Notice any change in fuel economy?

    I noticed a loss of 50km out of a tank of highway driving when I added a flexiglass canopy to my hilux sr5

    No, the fuel economy is unchanged even with the drawer system fitted.

    Hi Transporter,
    Can you give us an update, what else have you done since the last post?
    I recently purchased a used 2018 V6 Sportline, the first owner ARB canopy and tub liner fitted. I would be keen to learn from your list of modifications.
    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    I’ve fitted an ARB deluxe bullbar while ago. The Safari snorkel still waiting to be fitted, hopefully during Easter holidays.
    I can’t recommend the plastic canopy and certainly won’t buy again. They creak all the time and the roof load is not as good as on the stainless steel ones.

    I have the arb canopy, but with the rhino rack flat roof rack. Either internal roof rack bracing and load support brackets, it makes no noises and has carried some fairly substantial loads. Perhaps ask ARB about these.
    I have had mine on for 75,000klms. One thing that has happened on the rear door, the left catches no longer latches. (I think it’s just needs adjustment and last week the electronic release button no longer undoes the rear door catch. I do a lot of off road driving, I presume it’s a loose connection, however I can still hear it actuating
