building tray for d22

[pseretis01]

Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum as I just bought myself my first 4x4, 2008 Dual Cab d22 Navara ST-R. I work in the building industry so the tub is not practicle for me, hence welding up a custom tray. Can someone guide me in the right direction, I need to get the measurements of where the holes for the bolts go exactly, and what size steel people used for there tray.
If someone could send me a list of material required and sizes that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again guys, great forum
Peter

Welcome to the forum. There are a couple of build threads about that may help you a bit - try a search & see what turns up.

First build the tray top then sit it where u want it (height etc) then make mounts (i used 6x50mm angle and 8mm flat bar) and tack them on, then take it off and weld them on properly, thats how i did it anyway

When i did mine i had two cars which made it easy...
sorry i never made list or took note of the measurements.
check out my garage if you need some ideas. made mine to fit work canopy.

don't the 4 door's have a problem with cracking the rails (being the tray has all the weight on the rear 1/3 of the rails) I seen pic's of them snapped clean off due to over load and load position ! ! - be careful on your mounts positions !!!!

I'v had nothing like that and I have close to a tonne on the back 90% of the time.
