Gear Up for Adventure: Exploring Apex4WD’s Range of 4x4 Parts & Pickup Truck Canopies

At Apex4WD, we’re more than just a parts supplier — we’re overlanders, off-roaders, and adventure seekers ourselves. That’s why every product we stock is designed to perform under the toughest conditions, whether you’re building a weekend camper or a full expedition rig. Here’s a closer look at some of our top 4x4 parts and pickup truck canopies, and how they take your vehicle to the next level.

1. Robust Pickup Truck Canopies for Work & Adventure

A canopy is a cornerstone of any capable 4x4 pickup build. At Apex4WD, we offer heavy-duty, purpose-built canopies that balance ruggedness, utility, and style.

Aluminium “RAID” Canopy from APEX4WD
Crafted from lightweight aluminium, this canopy offers a huge strength-to-weight ratio. With a ~180 kg roof load rating, it’s perfect if you want to mount a roof tent or carry extra gear — without adding excessive mass. Leaving more than enough load capacity in the back for a full touring setup or tradie.
Hardtop Metal Steel Pickup Canopy
We offer this in a large range of options: Hilux, L200, D-Max, Navara, Ranger, Amarok... This canopy offers secure and sealed storage, making it a go-to for tradespeople and overlanders alike.
Canopy Accessories & Add-Ons
We offer a range of options for the pickup truck canopy to suit your needs: Roof Bars, Roof Racks, Kitchen Setups, Side Storage, Lights & More.

Beyond these, we also stock universal tub rack frames and cross bars (see our canopy accessories) so you can customise your canopy for ladders, roof tents, or work gear. These parts demonstrate our commitment to giving you a modular, scalable setup. apex4wd.co.uk

2. Recovery & Off-Road Parts: Build Strength and Resilience

When you’re pushing your 4x4 off the beaten path, the right parts make all the difference. At Apex4WD, our recovery and performance gear includes:

Winches and Recovery Gear: Powerful 12v electric winches and snatch straps to pull you out of mud, sand, or tight spots.
Lift Kits: Boost ground clearance for better approach angles and tackle rugged terrain with confidence.
Protection Equipment: Skid plates, rock sliders, and bumpers help guard your underside and critical components.
Raised Snorkels: Protect your engine’s air intake during water crossings and dusty trails.

These 4x4 parts don’t just look rugged — they’re designed, tested, and used by our team in real-world overland scenarios.

3. Overland & Camping Accessories: Make Your Truck a Home

We know that for many of our customers, the journey is everything. That’s why we’ve curated a range of overland and camping gear tailored to 4x4 lifestyle.

5. Real-World Use Cases

Weekend Overland Trip:
Equip your Hilux with the “RAID” aluminium canopy, mount a roof tent on top, deploy the side awning for a shaded living area, and use the 1300 drawer system for cooking gear and 4x4 recovery equipment.
Tradesperson Build:
Pair the Amarok or D-Max with a steel metal canopy with a sliding drawer system inside. Add a roof rack for ladders or tools, and you’ve built a secure, practical van alternative — with serious off-road capability.
Expedition Vehicle:
Use a lift kit + snorkel + winch, then fit a canopy with cross bars and a roof tent. Throw in the awning, drawers, and lighting, and you’ve got a self-contained overland rig built for remote travel.
