LC79 Tray and Canopy Setup with 1800mm Tray and 1600mm Canopy

If you’re chasing a clean and practical touring setup for a LandCruiser 79 Series, this LC79 Tray and Canopy Setup is a solid example of how to build a capable all-rounder without going over the top.

This build combines an 1800mm aluminium tray with a 1600mm colour-matched canopy, giving the LC79 a modern touring look while still keeping the tough and functional feel the 79 Series is known for. The beige and black combo works really well on this vehicle and gives it a more premium finish compared to a standard canopy setup.

The vehicle shown here has also been fitted with a range of optional touring accessories and upgrades to suit off-road travel, camping and everyday use. Some of the accessories shown are optional extras and may not be included in a standard tray and canopy package.

1800mm Tray Setup

The foundation of this build is the 1800mm aluminium tray with integrated headboard. It gives the vehicle plenty of usable space while still keeping the overall proportions balanced on the LC79 chassis.

Features on this tray setup:

• 1800mm aluminium tray
• Headboard design
• Black powder-coated finish
• Flush-mounted hardware
• Heavy-duty touring layout

The tray setup works nicely with the canopy and still leaves room for additional touring accessories and rear-mounted gear.

1600mm Colour-Matched Canopy

The 1600mm canopy is definitely the standout part of this build. Finished to match the body colour, it gives the LC79 a much cleaner and more integrated look compared to a traditional square canopy.

Features fitted to this canopy:

• Colour-matched panels
• Gullwing side doors
• Lightweight aluminium construction
• Reinforced internal frame
• Premium black hardware
• Large internal storage space

The side-opening doors make access easy whether you’re loading tools, camping gear or touring equipment.

Roof Rack, Ladder and Rear Accessories

This particular LC79 has also been optioned with several touring accessories mounted to the canopy.

Accessories shown on this vehicle:

• Roof rack
• Rear ladder
• Spare wheel carrier
• Jerry can holder

These accessories are fitted externally to the canopy and are designed to improve touring practicality and storage flexibility.

The roof rack is handy for carrying larger gear like swags, recovery boards or lightweight camping equipment, while the ladder gives easier access to roof-mounted gear. The rear spare wheel carrier and jerry can holder also help free up internal tray and canopy space for longer trips.

Please note — these accessories are fitted to this display vehicle and may be optional upgrades depending on your final build and budget.

Under Tray Toolbox

This build has also been fitted with an under tray toolbox for smaller external storage.

Ideal for:

• Recovery gear
• Hand tools
• Air compressor
• Smaller travel accessories

The under tray toolbox is mainly designed for quick-access items and smaller gear. The ladder, spare wheel carrier and jerry can holder shown on this setup are separate rear-mounted accessories.

12V Touring Setup

Inside the canopy, this LC79 has been fitted with a complete 12V power system using a slim battery setup to maximise usable storage space.

12V upgrades fitted to this build:

• Slim battery system
• Touring power setup
• Charging capability
• Space-saving layout

Perfect for running camping gear, fridges, lighting and charging systems during longer trips away.

Like the other accessories shown, the 12V system may be an optional extra depending on the final package selected.

Built for Aussie Touring Conditions

One of the best things about this LC79 Tray and Canopy Setup is that it works equally well as a touring rig, camping setup or work vehicle.

The lightweight aluminium canopy keeps the setup practical without adding unnecessary bulk, while the touring accessories improve storage and usability for longer trips around Australia.

Whether you’re planning remote travel, weekend camping or just want a clean-looking LC79 setup that still works hard, this build is a great example of a balanced tray and canopy package.
