The RAM 1500 TRX doesn't need help going fast. It needs to be complemented with capability.

This Utemaster TrailCore tray and canopy was built from the ground up around the TRX platform. The vehicle was 3D scanned before the setup was CAD designed, laser cut, welded and powder coated, with every factory camera, sensor and radar system retained and relocated.

The rest of the build includes 37-inch Maxxis RAZRs, bronze ROH Black Rock wheels, an ADD front bumper, rear airbags and a complete touring fit-out inside the canopy.

We are absolutely over the moon to see Catch a Fish featured in this awesome video by Utemaster, Stabicraft and StabiX!

We honestly cannot tell you how proud and grateful we are to work with such incredible New Zealand-made products and brands.

For us, our gear isn’t just about looking good, it has to work hard. We operate in some of New Zealand’s most spectacular and demanding environments, so strength, reliability, smart design and practicality really matter to us.

In this video, the team from Stabicraft and StabiX visit the Utemaster factory in the Waikato to see exactly how Utemaster’s ute trays, canopies, hard lids and storage systems are designed, engineered and built from the ground up. From robotic welding and manufacturing to the final finishing touches, it is pretty amazing to see how much thought and craftsmanship goes into every setup.

And then, of course, seeing our own Catch a Fish setup make an appearance makes us just a little bit extra proud!

Our Stabicraft gets us safely out on the lakes, while our Utemaster setup helps us transport all the gear needed to make our fishing adventures happen. We genuinely love working with equipment that is purpose-built, tough and made for real adventure.

A huge thank you to the teams at Utemaster , Stabicraft and . We feel incredibly lucky to be associated with such innovative Kiwi brands.

Definitely worth watching the full factory tour! See link in comments!

We had the Stabicraft team through our Waikato factory recently.

Paul, Dan and Doug build boats. We build ute trays, aluminium canopies, hard lids and storage systems. Different environments, same goal: build it tough, build it consistent, get it out the door to you.

The full tour covers our robotic welding, CNC extrusion setup, powder coating line, 3-day dispatch guarantee, and the locking system we design and make in-house.

If you use your ute for work, touring, fishing, towing or secure storage, this is the manufacturing detail behind the finished gear. 12 minutes, worth the watch if you want to see how it's built.

Two Kiwi manufacturers. One builds boats, one builds ute gear. Same obsession with getting it right.

Took the Stabicraft team through our Waikato factory - robotic welding, CNC extrusion, and the locking system we design and make in-house.

Full factory tour on our YouTube channel if you want the whole thing.

South Island, done right.

A couple of our team members were lucky enough to take Braden Currie's Ineos Grenadier for a spin and experience the kind of trip this setup was built for.

Where the only traffic is sheep on the road, the coffee comes from the back, and lunch is by the river.

It’s one thing to build gear for people who work hard and chase adventure. It’s another thing to sit in the driver’s seat of a customer’s vehicle and experience it for yourself.

Massive thanks to Braden for trusting us with the keys.

Built For What Matters.

Metal doesn't automatically mean secure.

Cheap metal canopies can look okay from the outside, but weak locks, exposed key barrels and easy access points can still leave your tools vulnerable.

The Centurion Canopy is designed differently.
✓ Bandit-Proof locking connected to your factory key fob
✓ No exposed key barrels
✓ Windowless side doors
✓ Heavy-duty construction built around keeping your gear protected

Because when your tools are your livelihood.
