This latest Amarok service body build came together really well and is the sort of setup that works just as good on the worksite as it does heading away for a weekend trip.
For this build, the customer wanted something practical, clean-looking and easy to use every day. We fitted the Amarok with a 1600mm aluminium service body canopy package along with a full range of upgrades including an undertray drawer, undertray toolbox, 40L water tank, canopy spoiler and a complete 12V power system with a slim battery setup.
The end result is a neat and functional touring-ready setup with heaps of usable storage without making the vehicle feel oversized.
1600mm Amarok Canopy Package
The base of this build is the 1600mm aluminium canopy setup designed to suit the Amarok platform.
This size works really well for customers wanting a balanced setup that still gives plenty of storage space while keeping the ute practical for everyday driving. It’s a good option for tradies, campers and anyone chasing a dual-purpose setup.
What’s Included in This Amarok Build?
- 1600mm aluminium service body
- Undertray drawer
- 40L undertray water tank
- Undertray toolboxes
- Rear canopy spoiler
- Full 12V power system
- Slim battery installation
- Waterproof and dust-resistant canopy design
Everything was designed to work together cleanly while keeping storage easy to access.
Undertray Drawer for Easy Access Storage
One of the most useful parts of this build is the large undertray drawer mounted underneath the tray.
The drawer is perfect for storing recovery gear, straps, tools, camping gear or longer items that normally end up rolling around in the canopy.
Instead of climbing inside the canopy every time you need something, the drawer gives quick and easy access from the rear of the vehicle.
For daily use, this makes a massive difference.

40L Undertray Water Tank Setup
We also fitted this setup with a 40L undertray water tank.
Mounting the tank underneath the tray helps free up space inside the canopy while still giving enough water capacity for camping, touring or work use.
It’s handy for things like:
- Washing hands on-site
- Cleaning tools
- Camping trips
- Remote touring
- General outdoor use
Keeping the water tank tucked underneath the tray also keeps the whole setup looking cleaner and more organised.
Extra Storage with an Undertray Toolbox
To add even more practical storage, this Amarok was fitted with an aluminium undertray toolbox.
Having storage outside the canopy makes life a lot easier, especially for items you need regularly during the day.
It’s a great spot for:
- Recovery gear
- Hand tools
- Tie-down straps
- Air fittings
- Electrical accessories
The undertray toolbox helps keep the main canopy area less cluttered while making smaller gear quicker to grab.
Canopy Spoiler Finishes the Look
A rear canopy spoiler was also added to give the build a cleaner and more modern look.
It’s a small detail but it helps tie the canopy into the Amarok body lines really nicely and gives the whole setup a more finished appearance.
A lot of customers are now choosing canopy spoilers because they make service body setups look less boxy and more like a factory-style touring build.
Full 12V Power System with Slim Battery
This Amarok also received a complete 12V power setup paired with a slim battery system.
The slim battery design helps save space inside the canopy while still giving reliable power for touring accessories and everyday use.
The 12V setup can be used for:
- Fridges
- LED camp lighting
- Charging devices
- Compressors
- Worksite power needs
- Camping accessories
A clean electrical setup makes a huge difference for customers using their Amarok for touring or remote travel.
Built to Handle Work and Weekend Trips
One of the best things about this Amarok build is how versatile it is.
During the week, it works perfectly as a practical work ute with organised storage and easy access to tools and gear.
Then on weekends, the same setup is ready for camping, road trips and touring thanks to the water tank, drawer storage and 12V electrical system.
That’s why this style of service body setup has become so popular across Australia.
Why More Amarok Owners Are Choosing Service Body Setups
Compared to a standard tub setup, a proper service body gives you far better storage and usability.
Main Benefits Include:
- Better organisation
- Easier access to tools and gear
- More external storage
- Touring-ready functionality
- Cleaner canopy layout
- Strong lightweight aluminium construction
- Better use of available space
For anyone using their Amarok regularly for work, travel or both, a service body setup makes the vehicle far more practical.
Final Thoughts
This Amarok service body build came together as a super clean and practical setup.
The combination of the 1600mm canopy, undertray drawer, water tank, toolbox and 12V system gives the vehicle heaps of usable storage while still keeping everything compact and easy to use.
Whether it’s for trade work, touring or everyday driving, this setup is built to handle all of it.
