That's not bad price for tapered under tray boxes my were 800+gst and yours are power coated, witch makes it a really good price
So much more labor and waist with taper boxes
You can buy cheep ones but you do get what you pay for,
Mine have been sunk under water and everything inside stayed dry, a must for all underbody boxes,

Considering the manufacturers would be getting the materials way cheaper than the average person, the last normal tray I built similar to the one above would have been lucky to hit 1k in materials including lights etc! 6k is just offensive!

Steady on! If your referring to me, I work at a stockist not a corporate store and besides I don't set the prices I just fit the stuff! We have never fitted one of those trays, we always send people to the local fab shops.

I know where TOYZX works, they have been honest with me and he would probably remember me whinging and complaining about a product I purchased which wasn't right, they tried hard to fix the issue and I was hardly the most forgiving customer at the time. I also know the fab shops they send people to, and they are the figures I have used in my examples, $2800 odd to $3000 odd. They are good solid trays.

Cheers mate! Yes all 3inch, I have a good mate that owns a local exhaust shop so he's great with all that stuff. Theres no mandrel bender in town so we drew up the headboards and got them made by bendcraft in albury. Everything else because of the tight bends is all single pre-bent sections welded together.

The whole thing is basically exhaust tube. Its all 2mm thick as most exhaust tube over 2inch is 2mm thick. Weight wise its a tad heavier than the stock tub tho not much.

As your doing them in 1 price have you thought about engineering the rear hoop to comply with rops, when combined with certain bull bars, you would have to use a HT grade of steel like rt350 or the like,
Just throwing it out there
