Aeroklas Injecta canopy by TJM

• RRP: $3999

The Aeroklas Injecta canopy for the Ford Ranger is formed using Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM), which is claimed to provide a stronger, more flexible canopy than traditional single-shell ABS or fibreglass canopies. This process, which removes potential joins and weak areas from each canopy, infuses the Injecta with exceptional impact resistance and the ability to reshape it after an impact.

The Injecta’s combination of high-quality materials and superior manufacturing processes come together to form a strong and functional ute canopy. Boasting a roof-rack dynamic load rating of 120kg (350kg static), the Injecta allows you to carry more inside and out.

After the Injecta canopy’s tough shell is formed, it’s robotically painted to OEM standards with added UV protection to ensure its finish matches your vehicle, both in colour and durability. Other features include a drop-down front window and dual lift-up side windows that are key lockable, central locking at the rear door using the standard OEM fob and easy installation with the C-Clamp mounting system.

An LED interior light and an LED brake light are standard features and a canopy vent is available as an optional extra. TJM offers a four-year warranty on the canopy shell and paint and, a one-year warranty on componentry excluding glass.

Bendix expands brake-drum range

• RRP: POA

Bendix has applied its knowledge in the design and manufacture of disc-brake rotors to the drum-brake category, with the recent launch of its new brake-drum range. The range fills a niche in the Bendix parts catalogue and targets utility vehicles and their wagon derivatives including selected Rodeo, Colorado, Navara, D-MAX, and Great Wall V200 and V240 models.

Featuring high-quality metallurgy, Bendix brake drums deliver strong braking performance and low-noise operation along with a confident and consistent pedal feel. Bendix says they’re best paired with Bendix Brake Shoes, although the drums are compatible with most brand brake shoes.

Bendix Brake Drums offer an ‘E+ Original Equipment Fit’ that’s designed to be a direct replacement for OE drums and meet or exceed all OE specifications.

Ironman 4x4 Frontier winches

• 9500lb wire: $779

• 12,000lb synthetic: $999

The new Frontier winch range from Ironman 4x4 features a waterproof rating with a built-in breather, three-stage planetary gears, dual-function wireless and wired remote, and a five-year warranty.

To ensure that you have the safest and most appropriate winch, the Frontier winch is available in both 9500 and 12,000lb models, with synthetic and wire rope options. With an IP68 rating, the winch can be submerged to one metre for up to 30 minutes without water getting into the mechanics, so you can drive through rivers to your heart’s content knowing that your winch will be just fine.

A one-way breather allows air from inside the winch to escape when a hot winch gets cold. There’s a science to it, but the simple fact is this little feature will save the seals on your winch and stop water from getting inside, even when a little mistreated. Having a wireless remote adds great practicality and safety to a recovery, until you forget to charge it, at which point you can plug it in.

DMW compact kitchen/pantry MKII

• RRP: $1950

The DMW compact kitchen/pantry has been designed for travel enthusiasts looking for a compact, sturdy and practical camp kitchen and pantry set-up. An evolution of the first iteration of the DMW kitchen/pantry, the MKII is smaller and lighter, so it takes up less room in a vehicle canopy.

The unit still has a fold-down table that can be accessed without opening the slide-out stove, and the slides can be opened and closed with one hand. There is ample storage space in the pantry for herbs and spices, oil, spreads, paper towels and other pantry items, with three shelves, two of which are adjustable. The drop-down slide-out bench for the stove is designed for use with a Coleman PEAK1 two-burner stove.

The table height is adjustable, and the kitchen can be adjusted along the length of the rails to allow for canopy door clearance. If needed, the drop-down bench and drop-down slide-out stove shelf can be swapped to the opposite side.

Built tough with a durable textured black powder coat with DMW orange accents, kitchen/pantry is 800mm long, 610mm high and 410mm wide (which includes the rubber bumper) when closed. Dimensions when open with the cooker and table folded down are 1900mm (L), 610mm (H) and 1240mm (W).
