Our latest build for a client looking to upgrade from his alloy tray to a fully decked out SE tray and removable canopy.
His kit now includes onboard air & water, 12v 200ah lithium, digital display, solar, inverter, fridge, oven, shitloads of storage and even a TV in the RTT.
Some might say people are going soft with setups like this but this blokes traveling with a family and wasn’t keen on a caravan so good for him and we were happy to oblige.
Details on our website soon.

Definitely had a few rubber necks and dropped jaws today carting this thing around on the trailer.
This is our next portal axle build on the way back to our shop to begin the massive transformation that awaits.
A long time in the making and a lot of forward planning with this build as we have a handful of new features which we can’t wait to show you so stay tuned!

New camera, new excuse to take more photos of the SE-BOSS although I am getting sick of seeing it so clean. Won’t be long and we’ll be back out on the tracks!

A couple of naughty pics of the SE-BOSS build.
At Shannons Engineering we know these rigs are expensive and deserve only the best in protection from bush scratches, stone chips and life in general.
We're now offering all our new LC79 touring vehicles the ultimate in vehicle paint protection using Xpel paint protection film, a self-healing clear gloss, full vehicle wrap which includes a 10 year warranty. Topped off with a Gyeon Quartz ceramic coating to keep your paintwork in top condition.
.
For more info head over @australiandetailingservices and their website or ask us about including it into your build spec sheet and we’ll take care of the rest.

The naughty new look on the SE-BOSS build. 👹
We’ve added some blacked out projector headlights from @micks_hid_projector_retrofits, a high-mount tow bar and rear winch completing the exterior for the time being.

The HZJ75 is back to life on the farm and revelling in it.
The response from the owner has been nothing but praise and gratitude for the work our team provided and can’t thank us enough.
She might be an older model, but this workhorse will live a long and happy life doing exactly what it was built for.

Great to see Patrick out there living his best life. Gotta give credit to the man, traveling solo to some of Australia’s most remote places. Hit up @patches_of_aus and follow his journey.

The new look of the SE-BOSS.
#rig #staunch #70series #79series #se #seboss #shannons_engineering
I love my job. Working on these rigs and seeing them finished give us great satisfaction and we’re all extremely proud of the work we produce.
All hand made to order, quality over quantity and supporting Aussie businesses along the way.

About us
We live and breathe camping, touring & 4wding. Our passion is high detail, high end custom ute trays and canopies built to order from a mixture of Australian steel & aluminium.
Our trays and canopies are built by hand to the highest standard possible. We are always thinking ahead and finding ways to improve our products with innovative computer aided design and new technology through products we endorse.
At Shannons Engineering, no two jobs are the same. Our customer base varies, as do their needs. We can offer you a complete package from trays, canopies, touring set-ups, 4wd suspension, power management, bull bars tow bars, wheels tyres and accessories. Just ask us.
Our History
Established in 2004, We ran a successful business doing custom metal fabrication, working in stainless steel, aluminium and steel, we have been the most versatile metal shop working with builders, architects, homeowners, landscapers, tradesman, councils, and even the ADF.
Challenging every job that came through the door has given us a great satisfaction and knowledge using a wide skill set and a vast variety of materials but the time had come to reinvent ourselves & follow our dreams and become a household name in custom ute trays and canopy scene.
Since then, we made the choice to give up the daily grind of general fabrication and follow dreams making high-end custom ute trays. Building ute trays led us to making canopies and now, we have become predominantly full touring vehicle builders of the all popular, 79 Series Toyota LandCruiser and with each build better than the last we look forward the future and where this vision will take us.
