Built for the Land Cruiser 79

The Land Cruiser 79 is used across South Africa for everything from farming and hunting to touring, safari, overlanding and remote-area work.

The Alu-Cab Explorer Canopy converts the open load bin into a more secure enclosed storage area while providing a platform for additional equipment.

It can be configured around the way you use your vehicle, whether that means carrying tools during the week or camping and touring on weekends.

The Explorer Canopy uses an aluminium construction designed to provide strength while keeping unnecessary weight down.

This makes it particularly suitable for Land Cruiser builds where additional equipment can quickly increase the overall vehicle weight.

The canopy can form the foundation for a complete load-bin build incorporating drawers, cupboards, fridge systems, recovery equipment and other touring accessories.

The Explorer Canopy features integrated roof rails, providing a convenient mounting platform for compatible roof-mounted equipment.

Depending on the final vehicle setup, these can be used as part of a system incorporating:

• Roof racks
• Load bars
• Rooftop tents
• Awnings
• Camping equipment
• Other roof-mounted accessories

Always consider the combined weight of the canopy and roof-mounted equipment against the vehicle’s applicable payload and roof-load limitations.

Three internal LED lights are integrated into the Explorer Canopy.

This provides useful illumination when accessing equipment inside the canopy, particularly at night or when camping away from mains power.

The Explorer Canopy features a full rear window, providing visibility through the rear of the canopy while maintaining an enclosed load area.

The rear access design allows convenient access to equipment stored inside the load bin.

Canopy Load Rating
