My brother has a 98 hilux traytop and just baught a second hand tub and canopy for it. He wants me to help fit it this weekend. Neither of us have done it before and I havn't had a chance to have a look at it.
Just wondering if anyone here has done it? Any parts we'll need to fit the tub and for the petrol filler, etc?
Any advice appreciated. I can't see it till saturday and don't want to spend all weekend messing around with it.
Thanks
Andrew

Depends if it's SC, DC or XC.
My recomendation would be to do a body lift at the same time if its intended in the future, as it's a pain in the arse if you have to disconnect it all and raise it later, especially the fuel filler hose. If a lift is in the pipeline but not being done now then i would attach with an extended filler hose and breather now so it just slides longer at the time of lift.
If no lift planned, fairly simple, 8 bolt down points i think, connect lights, fuel hoses and that should be about it. Make sure it's in line with and true to the cab before tightening it all up.
Enjoy

looks great - how much did you get the new tub for?
thinking of bobbing mine and am wondering if i should get a new one to bob and have the std one there when selling the car or use the existing one and change it forever. Any thoughts???
