Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Gday,

I'm looking to buy a canopy for my standard 03 (old shape) Hilux. The Luxs have the rear bar system behind the back window that is welded into the rear tray.

If i fit a canopy do i have to cut this bar system off to make the canopy sit flush with the cabin or do the canopies somehow fit over the top of the bar work??

The canopy i'm looking at is off an 02 SR5 Hilux so the tray is the same dimensions, its just the bar work that worries me.

Any ideas would be much appreciated, cheers.

mine was cut off

was a 93 dual cab with a touertop canopy tho

When I had the canopy on my Rodeo I had to remove the bar but it is bolted on Rodeos so no drama to remove it.
I found though that the Flexiglass range had an option to keep the bar as the front wall of the canopy is riveted in so you could have it positioned to suit.
My canopy was an ARB plastic canopy though so you have to remove the bar to fit these ones.

I'd say you will have to remove yours too as I didn't think SR5 Hiluxs had the bar to begin with.

it gets cut off, even on new hilux's

my tjm tourertop just went around the bar, so it didnt have to be removed..

It will depend on the brand. I would also double check that the SR5 canopy will fit the non SR5 tray as they are different.

it depends how it was ordered there are the ones that conceal the head board and the ones you have to cut off best way to tell is to sit it on and see if it sits on the tub properly.
