    tray size on a 130

    greetings all, chasing advice. I'm putting a tray on a 130 C/C. I have the options to mod a steel landcruiser tray or build from new. My question is, what size trays can/do go on these utes? are they standard size or longer???

    Appreciate any input as I know nothing about landrovers....actually I failed the first random question at registration.....there ya go.

    Ours is a modified Ex-fisheries steel tray with alloy bed, of a pootrol, cruiser or something else, works well as is light with strength of steel around the sides

    Ours is 1.8 mtrs long. Some put longer ones on but hey, these fenders are long enough as the are

    Can post pics if requested

    Mine measures a shade under 1800mm wide and 1950mm long.

    The overhang at the rear is fine for touring and just OK for most 4wd'ing as long as I watch my lines.

    I will shorten it up 300mm when I build up a slide camper for it.

    Legally I think you are allowed 60% of your wheelbase behind the rear axle, never worked it out but I was told it would be around 2.7m on a crew cab which would look ridiculous on a 130.
    I have a 2.5m tray on a 130 crew cab that has had a 700mm chassis extension, good for everything. . . . except turning around

    I would go a custom job, both my 130 work utes are fitted with steel trays, 2650mm long which give a 350mm overhang past the rear cross member, I have a land cruiser tray top and the mounting system is quite different, factor in a re spray and fabrication of mounting brackets and I think a custom tray is the better option.
