Can anyone here advise the cost of installing solid canopy for the 4WD?

Considering getting D-Max so need to estimate overall budget for the new
toy.

Many thanks in advance.

most of the four wheel drive shoppe sells he at a price range of 3K++. if
u dun mind driving to sawadeeland, u can get it at about 2K++ at hatyai
4X4 shoppe. much more cheaper there. beside that, u can also get ur roof
rack n so on.

Thank you Fastlane for prompt reply.

Yes some time ago did hear sawadeeland selling half the price 1500-2000
something like that.

Sound like many 4WD shops just across the boarder. Any regular
sawadeeland visitors can give more tips? Just across Bkt Kayu Hitam or
have to drive further? Never drive to sawadeeland b4.

bro gotoy,
poison...poison....hehheheheh..

guys,
anyway, u can check out the thread mention by gotoy. as mention in the
thread, they dun keep stock for everything, most of it is ordered from
bangkok. so certain parts need a couple of days in advance to order.they
do have websites which u can email them to order or u can call them.its
much cheaper and u save more. imagine going there n save 1K for the
canopy, means that u can use the 1K saved for a bodylift. its fast too.
jalopy goes in at lunch comes out at 7pm with a 3" body lift..hehehhe.

Be aware that on your way back from Hatyai, you are under some risk, no
matter how remote, of a JPJ check and finding that you have an illegal
extension to your car. I only heaved a sigh of relief after I had my
PUSPAKOM inspection and the JPJ endorsement in my registration card that
the canopy is approved.
