Thanks iClick,

The finished result with the tray is excellent, although I wouldn't want it any higher. I think if I had wider tyres I would rule out putting the spare under the tray.
I'll get some photos of the mounts for you shortly.

Thanks Alan

Yeah the tray was done by Dubbo City Welding. Their work is excellent IMO and the powder coating job has to be seen to be believed!

I aksed them for the same headboard as yours, but the rest of the tray is slightly different. I think mine sits slightly lower according to them.

Its driving great so far...with a total of 54km on the clock!

Cheers

That looks mint! I've always liked the HCPU and thought traybacks tended to look a bit ungainly, but the proportions on that are spot-on. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks! I deliberated for a long time over the tray length, 1.8m looks too short, 2.0m looks a tad too long, so I settled on 1.9m and im very happy with it. The only thing that could've made it absolutely perfect (IMO) is if it sat an inch or two lower. But then I'd have to put the spare in the tray, which I didn't want.

Hi I notice later on you changed your tyres to XZL's?

Did you do this via the dealer or did you change them yourself?

Hi Alex,
I organised and paid for the XZL's myself, but the dealer took it to the tyre shop for me during pre-delivery.

iClick, here are the photos of the tray mounts that you wanted.

Just a couple of small jobs on the 130 today.

1. Made a radiator screen with Cyclone aluminium flywire
2. Unbolted the brackets between the back seats and the back wall of the cab to give them a fraction more recline. Got about an inch more recline...a small but worthwhile amount.
