Nice job, Thank you for the pics.
Do you have a close up of the attachment method?
I have the steel for a similar job sitting on the side path, but still looking about.
Any idea of the weight?

that looks awesome mate, good job. Don't suppose you kept the measurements by any chance? Just incase any slack bastard like me wanted to do something similar

Understand if you dont want to give that information up.

Hey mate I was just thinking of doing the same but with a 25x25 stainless tube frame and building the out side out of ally checkerplate. My only concern is on the back of the tray it is rounded slightly where the brake lights are and I would build it square did you find it odd looking being square. I'm keen to hear any input from anyone I also will build it strong enough to mount a rooftop tent to

mate were the vinyl meets the tub near the tail light it is rounded. it looks good.

looks really good. if you don't mind me asking what did the canvas cost to get made up?

 

[scottyD22]

hi mate the vinyl was $700 fitted. eagle canvas at rocklea. they did a really good job.

 

[Joshp82]

awesome thanks. not sure if ill go doors or canvas.

what size is the frame you made? i am tossing up weather to use 40mmx40mm x 3mm alloy box or 25x25x1.6 steel. i suppose what ever is lightest. both should carry the same weight
