OK- steel tray is on the cards.

[Maseface]

Im really interested in a steel tray for my thai 2010 rx.

What are the best brands to look at?
How much would i be looking at roughly?
Would like one with removable sides and tailgate.

Put a steel tray on my 2013 ST about 3 weeks ago. Picked it up from gumtree for $2500. Was going to make one but for that price I dint think I could have. Extremly we'll made and heavy. Also came with the cage and canvas top. I think this way is very versatile, can remove the cage and still carry large items.

Oh and it's built by DC Thomas in Terang,VIC. Guy said it cost him $5200 just for the tray 4 years ago.

That was a good buy.
Expect anywhere from $3500 as a minimum up to about $5000.

does anyone know what the chassis width is for the tray. in the process of building mine and haven't take the tub off yet.

I done my time working at Obieco Industries in Tamworth, NSW. They make a great tray, have more cross-members under the floor compared to most.
As for chassis width, take the tub off and start from the mounts up if you don't have a jig.
