Pix's homemade steel tray

[Pix]

Hey guys,

This tray has been in the works for a couple of months, but because work keeps sending me away it's just dragging out. I've got it to the point where I just have to paint it and wire up the lights, so I hope by the end of the week it'll be good to go.

Let me know what you think and I'll throw up some more pics when it's done.

Tray fitted last night, got held up a bit when a massive thunderstorm flooded my garage, but got it on anyway. Now I just have to remove rear step and fit mud flaps.

leave the rear step it looks good in photos or is that just the way im looking at it

 

[ljacko78]

can't agree with John - take the old bar off

 

[scooba_285]

what are the measurements of the tray?

Looks bloody awesome. I agree with removing the old bar.
You will just have to be careful with loading up the back of the tray with to much weight. Last thing you want is a bent chassis.
Here is a lovely example.

In what spare time I had I connected my reverse lights and added some propeller plate in between the lights. Might mount the number plate there when I remember to get lights for it. So the step stays for a couple of days. Getting my mate to bend up mud guards out of stainless.

I'm thinking about fitting mud guards, number plate holder and then selling tray, whats it worth you think?

I've been unable to go 4wding due to everything being closed because of the heavy rain and flooding, so I decided it was time to finish the tray. I finished wheel guards and mounted them, changed my tail lights, mounted and wired new reverse lights (narva driving lights), wired and fitted work light (LED ebay special), and wired and fitter my 2nd battery under the tray. I also repainted my massive tool box and found a way to mount it for when I can go camping, but thinking of changing the mounts around.

Anyone know where to get cheap aux diesel tanks from? Want to put on under the tray for longer range.

 

[ljacko78]

looks like its finished up now Pix. Like it!

I need a better work lamp, prefer led, needs to be brighter than the one I have. Wondering what others are using and how good they are???

Got one of these tanks fitted under my custom tray, works well.
