Atta-boy!
Tell us about your custom canopy. Looks good on your truck. I see you've got some worklights and a rack.

I'm reluctantly thinking about eventually ditching my Bakflip because it now leaks like a seive, and a canopy might be the way to go.

Looks good there Matt........a fine win.

Thank you for the votes! JD, I can send you a full size resolution pic of whichever you think is the best pic (I personally like the truck beside Harrison Lake) for the calendar. Those are just reduced versions.

Nothing major to say about the canopy, its a complete POS but it doesn't leak. It came with my previous '93 Ranger, I think it was originally off an '01 sport or something it says on the tag, but the back of it has an odd flair to it (a touch too wide). All that's really custom about it is four 35w work lights installed behind the canoe racks for night lighting when I'm camping and two interior lights for camping as well. Windows are blacked right out and there's a crank up RV roof vent. I camp a ton in that truck so having the extra vent makes a huge difference in the summer, and its nice being able to see at night.

I'm trying to find either a flatdeck and go that route (because of their strength), or a contractor's canopy. My roommate has a Gemtop on his '07 Ranger and its a sweet setup, the side storage shelving and flip-up sides are super handy. It would make for a way sweeter camping setup, but a flatdeck would be far handier for working with (hauling the quad, scrap, garbage, ect) and I can always pop a tent up on the deck if need be. Decisions decisions.. LR
