Thread: 110 Tray or Tub back

If you are putting a tray on, I did this some time ago & here is the link.
I find the tray is very versatile & accessable, plus it can take an embankment swipe & survive.
Here is the thread.

G'day,

While tubs are good, I was of the opinion that tray backs (flat decks here in NZ) were better. Now having had a tray back for some two years and numerous heavy loads off road later, I am thinking the centre of gravity should be lower if intending to carry heavy loads off road. I am thinking of rebuilding a tray to have the robustness of the steel framed tray back but lowered to have small wheel wells thus lowering the CoG a bit. I figure in some of the situations I found myself in 100mm - 150mm lower would make the difference between getting real concerned (me and the laundry lady know what I mean ) or simply driving through and going with the rolling.

Consider it carefully relating back to what you carry (weight and bulk) and where you carry it (fully articulating suspension or mild etc).

Cheers,

Phil
