Updated: Mar 14

Exciting news ahead in 2024! Embarking on a project to enhance your Toyota Rugged X dual cab Hi-Lux for remote outback and Man from Snowy River country hunting adventures is a thrilling journey.


Stay tuned as we explore the best accessories to make life comfortable in the rugged terrains. Here's a sneak peek at what's to come:


  1. Roof Top Tent Selection: We'll guide you through the process of choosing the ideal roof top tent that balances comfort and durability, ensuring a good night's sleep under the outback stars. I opted for an Australia Made CampKing Roof Top Tent - new post coming to showcase why and set up it on the MRT Canopy.

  2. GVM Suspension Upgrade: A critical aspect for tackling diverse terrains, we'll delve into the world of Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) suspension upgrades to optimize your Hi-Lux's performance, stability, and load-carrying capacity.

  3. MRT Explorer Canopy Rear Storage Solutions: MRT Explorer for most efficient organisation is key during remote journeys. We'll explore rear storage options, including fridge/freezer setups, maximising space for essentials while keeping them easily accessible.

  4. Fridge/Freezer Selection: We'll guide you through selecting the perfect fridge/freezer for your needs, considering size, power efficiency, and suitability for the challenging conditions of the outback. ARB, Trailblazer units coming in more detail...
