Tray advice

Hi everyone,
I am going to purchase a new extra cab 4x4 Hilux to fit an Intrepid slide on camper onto it.
I was going to get the factory fitted alloy tray (alloy for weight saving) but thought that maybe I'd be better off getting an aftermarket alloy tray with a slide out drawer and a couple of undertray ute boxes.
Can anyone recommend a tray supply/manufacturing company in Victoria?
Also, if anyone has any advice re the purchase then that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Rudy

If no-one has any info, you can always do a quick google search and even ship one from elsewhere, just remember to factor in freight costs.

Just had a thought, check out ARB as well, maybe Supercheap Auto, AutoOne, those sorta mobs as well.

You are on the right track with an aluminium tray - steel one from toyota is 308kg and a drawer will be easily over 50kg.

just a suggestion - talk to the camper supplier, they should be able to tell you what works well with there product and might even supply and install the tray

I'm doing my best (unsuccessfully) to ignore this AND the myriad of other negativities our "little-blue-ball-home" is experiencing. I guess at some point ... Probably when Arnie starts wearing undersized leather chaps and carrying a pump-action 12 guage ... I'll probably ask the girls if they're ready to go bush.
