Things to Consider for Turning Your 4WD into a Mobile Adventure Vehicle
If you are a car lover, you know how it feels like having a 4WD right under your belt. Forget about the plush of sitting in a four-wheeler and its insanely built-up structure. Its drive is also so sleek and smooth that you feel like sliding on the road. I mean… wao! 4WD is always particular of its own accord. But what if I tell you that you can take this wao factor to the next level? You might be thinking, what can be the next level than gliding a four-wheeler on the road with comfy vibes? But there is!
Besides giving the ultimate driving experience, it can also become your best mobile adventure home. What you have to do is cover its open area with affordable dual cab canopies or shells and go for a rugged-ragged camping experience. Instead of booking a five-star resort, take your adventurous trip to the next level by experiencing 4 x 4 camping.
Here are given some tips to consider while choosing the canopy for the ultimate experience:
Consider the Way You Use the Car
If you are going to invest in a Ute canopy, make sure that it is worth investing. What if, after a couple of days, you feel that the canopy design doesn’t go well with your space using style? You will have to remove it and switch to another one. Nothing is more painful than surviving with a poorly setup canopy that you don’t want to keep but also can’t change because it isn’t an easy feat. So isn’t it better to choose your very first canopy after giving a deep thought based on what kind of experience you actually want instead of splurging uselessly on a wrong pick?
Choose the Right Type of Canopy
Canopies come in different materials and styles, so choosing the type of canopy is itself a whole new experience. The range of canopies that you will encounter after entering the market can actually overwhelm you. There are aluminum, metal, canvas, fiberglass, and wooden canopies, and every type has its own pros and cons. So do some research, ask for a recommendation, and find out what kind of material will go well with your requirements before fixing your deal.
Check Your Budget
As already mentioned, buying a cab canopy means that you are going to splurge a good chunk of your fortune. But the cost of canopy varies based on the material you select. For example, a fiberglass canopy can go to $1000 – $3000. But a metal canopy can even go above $6000. So you know what I mean when I say that you should also check your budget first before selecting the type of canopy you want to set up.
But if you don’t want to splurge so much on a canopy, you have another option: you can go with a second-hand, used canopy. But again, it might not give you the type of experience you want: a new, lush canopy that goes compliments the plush of 4WD.
If you ask my personal opinion, I will recommend you to pre-plan your budgeting, especially for buying a cab canopy and buy the best canopy available. After all, you can’t waste the looks of you four wheeler – no?
