Q: Is the tray standard size or is it a couple of hundred mm longer?.

Take delivery of mine on 13/2 and reading your build thread has not made the wait any easier.
keep up the good work.

um I'm not quite sure if it's standard I just built it so it comes upto the tow bar & it's a bit narrower than a standard tray I think .
measures up 1800mm wide and 1600mm long

Perfect size IMO. Truck looks great by the way… I must say I pissed myself laughing with where they put your tracks on your roof! What wankers!!! Thats the fail of the yr pic I reckon!

Originally was going to have it the width of the car but thought I need a little protection so I found out how far out side rails would come so I matched it

I'll make up some side rails soon .

Oh definitely fail of the year without a doubt

looks sweet mate! well done with the tray!

you forgot to mention where you got your flares from? I'm looking at getting some, and I'm hesitant to buy off eBay from Thailand.

cheers!

Oh oops I'll go back and edit the post

ARB flares .

Hey cooksey , it's a pioneer deck (comes with bolt on extras) which I STILL haven't received . the ETA given was 23rd of January :/

do you know if you can mount awnings like the foxwing to these it look s like the go

Yeah you are able to , there's bolt on awning attachments , I'll have them on soon , but I'm not getting the fox wing because of my tray , They look awesome though !
if you get one post a picture up so I can have a look

yay about time the rail come in !



I like the look of it , BUT it has a loud whistle now

soo hopefully when I mount a lightbar it'll deflect the wind !

after a period of not doing anything to the rig , ive gone and bought myself high lift jack holder & jack , and also an 2mX3m Tigerz11 awning .





have a I mentioned that brackets from rhinorack are steep ! although I still paid ! haha .

Who did the roof rack the first time? I'm in Traralgon, would be good to know who not to go to..
How much was the snorkel too?

Late reply sorry didn't even notice ! the local TJM store I won't mention name exactly but you should know being local lol .
hope yours went well !

Ahh yes. I had work done to my car there one time.
They did extra work, and charged me without asking first. THEN when I got my car back I noticed that they had backed it into something. Broken tail light, broken side mirror, and dented a few panels.

I ended up with a denso snorkel and fitting it myself.

Lost my front LED Light bar it rattled off luckily my mrs had bought two ! Winning .
Checked the problem the pre inserted nut wasn't a nylock nut and didn't come with spring washers I should of checked that first but I was too excited to get it on !

i added a rubber washer on my lightbar to absorb the vibrations and not rattle loose!

Build up is coming along nicely mate

Last night my daughter & girlfriend wanted to go for a spin before I took her home to her mothers , we got a bit carried away in the pines ...





Tree and ditch stopped us , mate come and pulled me out backwards & then ...



The tyre come off haha .
Jacked her up changed the wheel . Thankfully the only damage was to my guard where the Bullbar flexed into and bent it a little .
Well I didn't get a 4X4 to drive to the city haha

Building a camper trailer has really been taking its time while I am renovating a house , so a small mod has been made for our trip to SA .

^^^ is that the old alloy front hoop of the sports bar?
