FROM the outset of our Ranger build, replacing the cargo tub with a full service body canopy was always in the plans. We did the same with our PX Ranger build a few years ago and found the addition of the canopy makes the vehicle much more usable and versatile for the sort of overlanding we do.
QUALITY
A Trig Point canopy stack waiting for the next stage in the high-quality build process.
One of the very first full replacement canopies we saw for the new-model Ranger came from Victorian business, Trig Point. This was at the Melbourne 4x4 show, just weeks after the launch of the then-new Ford. Adorned in stunning Sedona Orange, the Trig Point canopy looked impressive and went straight on our project wish list.
STRENGTH
Easy to see how sturdy and robust the base frames are.
We’d also seen Trig Point canopies on other vehicles, none more so than the Offroad Images 79 Series LandCruiser when photographer Michael Ellem is out on our photo shoots. Mick couldn’t be happier with his Trig Point and, experiencing it first-hand, the functionality and quality of the canopy further enforced our belief that this was the product for our Ranger.
We also checked out the canopy on the neat extra-cab Patrol owned by Trig Point’s managing director, Murray Brookes, when we featured it in the magazine recently.
PAINT JOB
Trig Point's paint facility is well-equipped for a professional finish.
