Finally after nearly 12 months of trying different systems, I have finally got almost what I wanted in a work vehicle. (2012 130)
Typical payload consists of:
400l diesel
100l water
combined 100l of oils and fluids
large air compressor with rattle guns/drills etc
about 150kg of tools
spares for earthmoving equipment.
chains, straps etc
Ive also got 240v to the rear via an inverter, LED work lights,
and room for the dog.
The false floor has lids over the wheel arches and the frame is made of 50x50 4mm square tube and was designed to carry a ton on the top of the false floor. Cost was nearly identical to a custom steel tray, but I like the look of the HCPU tub and no one knows there is 400l of deisel onboard. GVM is about 3300kg which still gives me a couple of hundred kgs up my sleeve. The only thing left to do is go to a 265/75/16 on a blindo wheel to improve the stability on dirt roads, as the skinny michelins dont cut it unless you have 70psi in them.
