I like the empties sitting casually in the new tray and on the hydraulic press...my kind of workshop Darmo!!

by **darmo** on Wed, 05 May 2010 5:04 +0000

He he. Yeah only one or two. and only after the jobs done for the night.

Cheers Bassman. Ah by the way are you a member of the Suothern Highland 4WD club? My Mrs parents got me a mebership for my birthday? Maybe we can do a trip one weekend?

Hey Guys,

Some more progress on the tray. The canopy frame is not complete. 50X50 bar join it from front to rear and then 3 25X50 rails across for support and strength. now i just gotta get it mounted on the Ute and take it down the road for a sandblast and powder coat. Hoping to do that next week.

Cheers, Darmo

Thanks Quinny. Took me a while to build about 3 months of nights after work. And getting favors from mates wasn't a quick process.

But New Hilux and chatting with guys helped me decided on a good multipurpose setup.
