A bit more storage room in the d22 would come in handy when taking the misses and the young fella out camping.

Thought about canopys and different tray setups for a while...
but was struggling to come up with something that would do everything.

Wasnt real keen on a canopy as i like an open ute.
Didnt want to spend a heap on a tray to find it wasnt quite what i wanted.

So i decided a removable "tub rack" would be the best compromise, and not cost a whole so it wont matter if it doesnt get a lot of use.

Anyway this is what ive come up with.
Just needs some paint and bolting up.

Good work Ben!, you had something knocked off a while ago didn't you?, I guess if you could somehow chain your gear down and make a cover to keep it away from theiving eyes that would be good.
 
Yeah, my roofbasket was unbolted and taken from the truck earlier this year.
I dont park the truck on the street any more and i now have a cctv system.
Some nights i sit on my porch with a 12 gauge while having a cigar just for my own amusement
 
i am thinking on making up something simular but i will use the front chrome bar and fit a rear chrome bar then attatch a basket . your is a good idea Ben but theres not much space under to get into the tub to pull something out .
 
100mm below the main racks and 130mm below the mesh platform.
Not heaps of room but enough to access things well enough.

I want to keep it low so its not sitting up creating extra wind drag like things do on the roof basket.
I will probably strap a decent size space case or 2 on it which will sit below the height of the roof basket.

A 3/4 length basket or tradesman rack etc will sit a foot or so over the cab.
Should go well ontop of chrome the bars.
 
thought i'd post an update on the tub rack.

its been pretty useful so far, can carry a heap of gear, done plenty of rough stuff with it too and not a drama.
