That looks superb. How do you find the fitting around the top of the tub and how has it been clamped through, is it drilled holes and then bolted?

EDIT: Slightly off topic but have you got air suspension?

Bushteck canopy
I ordered it from South Africa via APB trading Ltd. They fitted it with six bolts and it has a heavy duty rubber seal around the base where it sits on the tub. Can be removed easily undoing 6 bolts once batches unlocked . Weighs 140 kg so weighty.
Yes full VB air suspension x four air bags , self levelling , 3 height settings. Pic shows car park setting.

In case you don't like regular wheel arches, there's an alternative (if you like the look of it). I had to fit arches for it to pass MOT with the 285 tyres I fitted, and I opted to trim them down a bit. Of course, each to their own.

Thank you to Johnnyha and Tissue Box for their recomendations on the bushtech canopy. I have this fitted to the 110 doublecab now; much more secure for the dogs.

The old frame will be for sale shortly if anyone is interested. The canvas also will be thrown in for free if wanted, but it has seen better days and the zip on one side has seperatated from the canvas/pvc.
