Secure your tub with the NotJust4X4 Electric Roller Shutter—engineered specifically for the RAM 1500 (DS/DT, MY13–MY24).
Whether you're a Melbourne tradie protecting thousands of dollars of tools, a weekend warrior packing for a High Country trip, or just someone who wants their ute to look as tough as it drives—this roller shutter delivers security, convenience, and .
Unlike universal-fit shutters that rattle, leak, or just don't sit right on RAM 1500's distinctive tub shape—ours is purpose-built. No guesswork, no dodgy modifications, and no "she'll be right" moments when the first big Melboune storm hits.
Why RAM 1500 Owners Choose This Roller Shutter
1. Push-Button Convenience (Because You've Got Better Things to Do)
Open and close your tub with the press of a button. The included remote control works from up to 20 metres away—handy when your hands are full of gear, or when you're packing up in the rain at a campsite. A full open or close cycle takes roughly 7–10 seconds. No more wrestling with a stiff manual shutter (especially annoying when you're parked on a slope).
2. Security That Actually Works
Your tub is a valuable space—don't leave it exposed. This roller shutter features aluminium slat construction with a built-in locking mechanism that engages automatically when closed. Combined with your RAM 1500's tub lock, it creates a secure storage space for tools, camping gear, groceries, or that new swag you haven't had a chance to use yet. The shutter sits flush with the tub rails, maintaining the sleek lines of your ute.
3. Built for Australian Conditions (Not a European Rainforest)
We know what Australian weather throws at you. From scorching 40°C days in Perth to sideways rain in Tasmania, this shutter is tested to handle it. The powder-coated aluminium slats resist corrosion, the stainless steel componentry won't seize up, and the rubber sealing system keeps dust and water out of your tub. Whether you're on a dusty Outback track or a muddy job site in Melbourne's outer east, your gear stays protected.
4. RAM 1500 Fitment You Can Trust
The RAM 1500 tub is significantly wider than mid-size utes (approx 1716mm). This is a custom-order shutter—please allow 2-3 weeks lead time.
5. Seamless Integration with Your Existing Setup
Already running a canopy, roof platform, or sports bar? No problem. The NotJust4X4 Electric Roller Shutter features integrated mounting tracks along the top rail, allowing you to fit:
- Aluminium canopies (tub-mount or rail-mount)
- Roof platforms and roof racks (perfect for rooftop tents, kayaks, or ladders)
- Sports bars and roll bars
You don't need to choose between security and extra storage—this shutter gives you both.
6. Smart Safety Features
The shutter includes obstacle detection—if something is in the way (a stray shovel, a curious kelpie, or your own elbow), the shutter automatically stops and reverses. Prevents damage to your gear and keeps fingers safe. Also includes a manual override key, so if your 12V system has an issue, you're not stranded with a stuck tub.

Installation: What to Expect
Option 1: DIY Installation (Approx. 3–5 Hours)
The shutter comes with a detailed installation manual and all required mounting hardware. Basic tools needed: drill, rivet gun, screwdriver, measuring tape. You'll need to drill mounting holes into your tub rails (marked clearly in the template). Note: DIY installation requires careful measuring—measure twice, drill once. If you're not confident, Option 2 is strongly recommended.
Option 2: Professional Installation at NotJust4X4 (Notting Hill, Melbourne)
We're based in Notting Hill, Melbourne, and our experienced team can have your shutter professionally installed and tested in 1–2 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my RAM 1500 if I have a factory tub liner?
A: Yes. The mounting brackets are designed to work with or without a factory tub liner. If your tub liner is very thick (aftermarket), you may need to trim it slightly around the mounting points—we include a trimming guide in the installation manual.
Q: Can I still fit a rooftop tent on top of the shutter?
A: Yes, provided the tent's total weight (plus occupants) doesn't exceed 80kg and is properly distributed across the mounting tracks. Many of our customers run rooftop tents on top of their roller shutter. Just make sure your tent's mounting feet are compatible with our track system (most are).
Q: What happens if someone tries to force the shutter open?
A: The aluminium slats are interlocked and the locking mechanism engages automatically when the shutter is closed. Forcing it would require significant effort and would likely damage the slats—making it very obvious to anyone nearby. Combined with your vehicle's alarm (if fitted), this provides excellent deterrence. That said, we always recommend removing high-value items from your tub if leaving the vehicle unattended for extended periods.
Q: How do I claim warranty if I have a problem?
A: Simple—just call our Melbourne team on 0431 097 888 or email info@notjust4x4.com. We'll troubleshoot over the phone first (often it's just a remote battery or a fuse). If it needs a part, we'll ship it out. If you had it professionally installed, we'll coordinate with the installer. We're not here to make warranty claims difficult.
Q: Does the shutter come with a warranty on the motor?
A: Yes. The electric motor and control box are covered under the same 12-month warranty as the shutter itself. The motor is a high-quality DC unit designed for the cycling demands of daily use. In our experience, motor failure within the first 12 months is extremely rare.
