Considering what a OEM soft top setup costs for a 73 series, I don't even want to know what that OEM canopy setup costs.
Really love the look of that canopy!

Are these metal or aluminum? Would not fit on a 75 without a lot of work, right? If you was to use a one off of a 79.Shoot Alex if only I would have seen this tread before, one of my suppliers offered me 3 of these new take offs from hzj79’s I thought no one was gonna want these in the US
I believe the bows are steel. Last I looked the OEM tarpaulin alone was north of 3 grand. The 75 and 79 boxes are very similar.
Bows are steel.
The current bows are a close fit for a 75 series. Modifications had to be done to the box to accept the 79 bows.
Shipping alone was over $500.

So then, in summary, a tarpaulin, bows, shipping and modifications would likely be around 5 grand.
Cool costs money. How cool does one want to be?

Yup. Those are the ones.
The bows and supporting bracketry had to be chopped in half and then reconstructed here in the states via welder.

Those things ROCK!
I am in touch with http://www.CustomBuiltCanvasCanopies.co.za
Prices range from ca. $600-$2000 for canvas and frame. Shipping from SA will be expensive.
Here's what they've built:

Ooooh, I like those a lot.
Not to mention the V8 under the canvas.

Nice. Not OEM, but really sweet. Great price point as well.
@beno and @joekatana I'd like one of those "NO Kalashnikov's" stickers on those ICRC humanitarian vehicle 79's. Is there a Toyota PN for that?
Yup. 74577-0AK47

Does this configuration not use the factory headache bar?
It does retain the factory rack.
The canvas is not supported by the rack however. The bows are taller.
I personally like the one that has a lower profile.
