Can I remove draws and an ARB canopy and how?

[Benny Sangas]

I'm currently in the market for my first 4wd and I am looking at a Hilux, however it has a canopy and draws. I understand that these are valuable but I just need a free open tub, is there a way I can take the canopy and drawers out seeing as there is a batwing awning in the way??
Any help or advice would be appreciated Cheers.

My ARB drawers were fairly easy to remove. I think they are partially designed around being quick to install for commercial reasons. It was take out few panels with Allen key, access to other bolts available, undo a few more, then 4 bolts olding the frame to the tub. The last 4 were a bit more of a challenge. Got my daughter to help. It's a 2 or 3 beer job.

Thanks a lot for that
