Yes
There's clearly a lot of material cost and work that goes into them. A bit on the costly side for me though
do you mean something like this
Huntcamp
Yup exactly so, might give those guys a call
@gimp these guys do nice work Shelyron Fabrication, Aluminium Toolbox Drawers, Stainless Steel Welding Services, Aluminum Boat Repair Welding, Sheet Metal Fabrication, Boat Ladder, and Stainless Steel Animal Cages in Rangiora
No idea on pricing but I saw a 70 series cruiser the other day that they had built a deck/canopy for and it looked very nice!
There are manufacturers everywhere over here. Very common for the touring/overlanding set. I’d think some must ship to nz. Pricing often includes a new custom tray that fits/matches up to the canopy and jacks the price up. Also quite a few cheaper aluminium canopies manufactured in China that you add your own internals too. These are 5-6k

Don't be afraid to look into the second hand market, a lot of good quality gear in good condition but it just needs to be found which takes internet research and phone time.
Shelyron do some very nice stuff. We've had quite a few done for customers.
Ex work colleague imported his from Oz for around half the price of anything manufactured locally
We use UteMaster at work
Very good units
Central Custom Engineering in Alexandra do excellent work from their well-equipped workshop, standard production items as well as custom-built units. I get a range of parts made on their CNC water jet unit, good quality and reasonable prices.
That is absolute insanity, for the price of a fully kitted out 1998 patrol holy shit, how do they justify thatQuote:

I'll second this. Know the guys well & work is top quality. They'll cut you a custom logo of your choice for the deck unit if you want to go all out.Quote:

Every Christmas holiday I get two motorbikes in the back and puzzle piece a lot of stuff in for the family haul that I simply couldn’t do with a custom tray. Cost me 3k instead of 30k too… wowee
@Mohawk .308 around the $7000 i've been told.
