Now we can click on them and see them even bigger.
Thanks

Shane thanks it is designed to be secured using the bolts that hold the tie-down hooks so is very easy to remove but equally is extremely strong and offers a very flexible platform for our use at least. It is the culmination, like our first D4, of around 20+ years of 4WD travel and experience. Built here in SA it is an easy fit into any D3 or D4 I would suspect.

Tie-down points are M6 nutserts so making the base platform even more flexible as all you need to do is place the nutserts to fit whatever you are carrying and as you can see from ours it is flexible allowing for almost anything to be carried with no real modifications

Top work. It'd allow for easier access to the spare wheel winder too I imagine?

Back to an earlier part of the most meandering thread ever - if companies can produce track versions of sports cars, with different brakes, wheels and tyres, body kits etc, and Jeep produce Trail Hawk versions of most of their offerings with varying degrees of increased bushability, even Ford's stripped down mining-fleet edition Ranger why can't all companies do likewise? I reckon a Camel Trophy RRS with standard rear e-diff lock, respectable all terrains (tickle up the suspension calibration if clearance is an issue) some bash plates and sliders maybe... roof platform... even perhaps a discreet winch, second battery... etc...would have some serious cachet?

Stuart with the tray fully extended it is a very simple process of taking off the rubber seal, inserting the winder and lowering the spare. So one less thing to worry about. We spend a lot of time researching this before we firmed up the design and for our needs is perfect and I suspect would suit many other D3 and D4 owners.

As we tow and Ultimate camper we really have no need for a full blown rear storage system and with the 2nd row seats folded flat more than enough storage for an extended, 4 month, trip to the Kimberley and the rest of WA

Whats up with the rear lights going so far down the side?
