4X4 Hard Covers and Canopies: Mitsubishi Triton

Mitsubishi Triton Canopies and Hard Covers

Hi guys, great to see you all back again.... This is my second blog and I am slowly finding time here and there to sit down here and keep doing a little blogging for our amazing followers out there who have been asking to learn a little more about our great range of 4X4 hard covers and canopies. Now I have decided to throw together these blogs aimed at individual products based around each make and model one at a time because I have had some Toyota Hilux fans mention that there was a Nissan Navara sharing their hero's page..... Now now guys, cant we all just get along? oh well..... You are all probably right anyways, I run a Nissan D40 and I don't want to share a page with the Hilux boys anyways, its bad enough I am constantly pulling them out of the mud and sand traps but to share a blog as well???? BBBUUURRRRNNNNN (thanks to all my Hilux owning mates that have reefed my D40 out of the traps on more than one occasion on the quiet as well :-) )

Mitsubishi Triton owners, its your time to shine boys and girls out there who own one of these great 4x4 dual cabs. All jokes aside guys and girls it doesn't matter what we drive, all vehicles have there positive and negative features and we all choose our vehicle to fit our lifestyle and personal preferences, so it all comes down to what floats your boat. Having said this we here at Australian Ute Canopies have some absolute pearls here for all of you Mitsubishi Triton dual cab owners out there that will I am sure only go towards enhancing the visual appeal and add some great practicality to your Triton.

Australian Ute Canopies offers Triton drivers 3 exciting choices to enhance your rides, the sports canopy (starbox) , sports hard lid (fullbox) and the standard canopy. They all look sensational and like I said they are all mega practical and will all completely transform the visual aesthetics of your Triton.

The sports canopy or starbox as they are called are all hand made multi-layered strong and lightweight fiberglass structures. Both the starbox sports canopy and the standard canopy share the same product features:

Interior light
Inner carpet lining
Rear window demister
3rd Brake light
C-clamp fitting
Keyed locking
Perfect seal

The interior light is a small but powerful little LED light that comes standard to all of these great canopies and also is a standard feature within all of the hard covers (fullbox) products as well. A very handy little feature that will save you a lot of pain at night trying to rifle through your tray looking for something and possibly save the box of band aides getting pulled out if your tray looks anything like my tray.
Inner carpet lining is a great feature, you probably would not even stop and take the time to think about this either guys but the carpet lining inside of your canopy not only looks great and just finishes your canopy off looking smart and tidy but it actually reduces the road noise in your 4x4 dual cabs hey. Yep, its true and hardly anyone even takes notice of this but yeah guys adding one of these carpet lined canopies will in fact reduce your road noise inside the cab as well as looking great and providing a practical and great looking storage hub to your vehicle.
Rear window demisters are yet another simple yet so incredibly practicle idea that really makes a massive difference to the driver. Everyone knows that as soon as you wack a canopy on your tray the immediate realisation that hits you is that you have just reduced your visiblility through the rear window of your ute, so does it not just stand to reason that the bit of visibility that you do have you need to protect? Well now you can guys, all sports canopies and standard canopies come standard with demisters in the rear glass window to give you the best crack at maximum visibility when you really need it. Yet another fantastic feature that people really dont stop and give a second thought prior the purchase of their canopy.
I love this one guys, 3rd brake light nice and high with mega bright LED's for the whole world to see. You would have to be blind Freddy to miss these bad boys when you fire them up, they truly take your driving safety to a whole new level and they are yet another standard feature of these beautiful custom hand made canopies and yes even the sports hard covers have these as standard issue as well. Just another reason why these canopies and hard covers are right up there with quality and practicality plus they just simply look so unbelievably amazing.
C-Clamp fitting guys.... This is probably my absolute favorite feature of these beautiful canopies and hard covers. The C-Clamp system eliminates any cutting or hacking into your tray people, you simply get a mate to help you lift your canopy into place and just walk around the tray and check shes where you want her all nice and lined up then simply pop the lid and go for a crawl inside and pop 4 of these specially designed clams in place and tighten her up and that's it.... your done.... This is a magic idea that is starting to be copied by other manufacturers now days simply because it works, and after all imitation is the highest form of flattery so it shows that we have a great system that works and in turn makes these canopies and hard covers a DIY project which in turn will save you hundreds on having a 4x4 shop to install it for you.
Keyed locking comes standard on all sports canopies, standard canopies and sports hard covers. The locking mechanism is tucked away neatly within the fiberglass shell construction and incorporated heavy duty components that will keep going and going. The units have a key chamber built into the handles and are of very sturdy construction. Locking your covers and canopies is one of the biggest reasons why people opt for these additions, turning your tray space into dry and secure storage space within the confines of your vehicle creates a greater use of your vehicle and if you are a tradesman or anyone who relies on this feature to generate your income you will know exactly what I am talking about.
Every single product comes with the rubber kits pre-installed from factory which will save you hours and hours of endless headaches and give you a perfect weather seal. Completely ready to go straight out of the box, all you have to do is of course give the landing surface of your tray a good clean removing any dirt and grime built up to act like a sand paper to the paint work on your tray. There is no tray on any vehicle anywhere in the world that does not have considerable movement out the back, have a look while you are driving around and it will probably blow you away as to how much movement is going on back there, don't stress out though because they are designed this way and it is perfectly normal behavior and I am just bringing it to your attention to highlight the importance that a little 2 minute clean around the top of your tray will make to the life of your paint work.

So there you have it guys, our sports hard covers, sports canopies and standard canopies all share some pretty impressive features that we know will add amazing practicality to your Mitsubishi Triton's and you only have to take a look at the pictures below to see how we will make you guys look absolutely red hot.
