Unless you go longer than the chassis i dont think you have much choice or keep it no wider than the body. I guess you are trying to keep it functional as opposed to just somewhere to keep a spare and maybe a swag ?

What do you guys think about this front mount? I know it will take a load form above but i am not sure about the side ways strength I was thinking of putting a X between the 2 mounts but i have a feeling that if i rest the tray on something hard enough i will tear the factory mount off not mine... :x

I started the lower section this arvo but i cant do much more until i get the long range tank in place...

This is how it's mounted to the rear. I uses the same bolt holes as the tow bar would.

BTW bolt are temp and only used for sizing
That bender has done a nice job on the rhs.
I screw 1 pcs up yesterday but it was because i was really tired and i am going t o change the lower section of the tray on the RHS as it's on 2mm thick not 3 and i can see those lower bits copping it big time off roadQuote:

I am happy with that! For those playing at home from the center of the hub to the bottom of the tray i have a little over 720mm.
This was going to be my extra air tank but it failed horribly... leaks internal :x
Looks good anyway...
