Thread: Opinions on rear lighting on 130 tray

Yeah change the reverse to round

Thanks Weeds
Just needed confirmation
Might even throw on the old incandescent while waiting for the led to arrive

If the slimline one throw good light than maybe mount them up under the tray with a separate switch so they don't stand out too much but you can flick them on when needed.

I do like to classic look of round lights

Hi,
I put 2 led work lights at the back of mine for reverse. The give almost as much light as the headlamp low beam.
I crossed them over to give more spread to each side.
Cheers.

I wouldn't bother, if it ain't broke....

Soon I'll be replacing my rectangular original lights on my acquired Toyota tray

I have the Wipac LED kit here, but went with the orange and red covers. I just thought they looked a bit more original.

Anyway, I think yours look fine, but I'm with Weeds - I'd prefer round reverse lights.

Very interested in your tray mounts. I've currently got steel sheet folded into c channel, high enough to fit 255/85/R16 spares underneath. I'm about to reconfigure it to hopefully have a slide out tray, inside an air-tight 'cavity' with the tray mounted on top. Weight and strength are always the concerns, but with a bit of luck I'll overcome them.

Would love to see some more photos, particularly of the purlin tray rails and their chassis mounts if you can.

Steve, I was going gong to install something like these on the 130 to replace the square OE one. LED Autolamps was the brand, I think it was 109mm in diameter?

So tray is a triple M standard ally panels that clip together with steel angle around the periphery. When I bought ute off another member it had two longitudinal zed purlins 150x50x2.6 - front mounts were onto rangie engine mounts rear was hard bolted to rear cross member. Rails were about 900mm apart and a pair of 265/75 could slide in down the middle

I changed up the tray rails to Al structural channel as seen in picture
Kept front mount flexible but made up an M16 bolt post to the rear chassis member

Will post some pics below
