FORGED X makes an aluminium canopy for the JAC T9 dual cab, sold in Australia from 2024. It is built to the T9 tub. The earlier JAC T6 and T8 use a different tub and take a different canopy.

T9 or T6/T8?
The T9 is JAC's current dual cab, launched here in 2024. The T6 and T8 that came before it have a different tub. Check the badge on the tailgate: the canopy in this guide is for the T9 only.
If you are unsure, send us your VIN and we will confirm the fit.
Solid sides or dog windows on a T9
For a T9 used for work, solid sides keep tools out of sight.
For touring, dog windows give kerbside access and airflow through the tub.
Both options have a glazed lift-up rear door on gas struts, marine-grade 5052 aluminium construction, seals and drainage around every opening for dust and corrugations, and a powder-coated matte black finish.
Weight, payload and roof load on the T9
A FORGED X dual cab canopy weighs from around 60 kg, depending on the vehicle and the side option. Everything you add counts towards your T9's GVM — the canopy, racks, drawers, water, fuel, passengers and gear — so add up the full setup and compare it with the payload on the compliance plate. Keeping the canopy light is what lets many owners stay within their factory GVM.
On the T9 canopy, the roof takes 150 kg on the move and 300 kg when parked — bars and rack included. That covers a rooftop tent: keep tent and bars inside the dynamic rating when driving, and tent, bedding and people inside the static rating at camp.
Fitting a canopy to the T9
The T9 canopy goes on with clamps to the factory tub rail, using the hardware supplied — no cutting, no drilling, and nothing permanent. If you sell the ute, the canopy comes off and the tub is as it was.
We fit canopies at 21 Moss Street, Slacks Creek, in Brisbane, or send them on pallet freight to any state for your own fitter. Seals, struts, glass and mounting hardware are kept on the shelf if you ever need a part.
Racks, tracks and locking
Full-length roof tracks are built into the T9 canopy, so bars, platforms, awnings, recovery boards, solar and light bars bolt on without drilling. Yakima track-mount gear fits directly — no adaptor plates — and other common bolt-in systems fit the same track.
Add the optional central locking kit and one press of the factory key locks the canopy with the cab. It plugs into the existing wiring.
