Nope - by the time that I got rid of it there wasnt a straight panel worth keeping. Very easy to do the body modification though (it would take me about 1/2 day to do it again).

I still have the tray. You can have it if you are keen.

What sort of $ could you do the ute chop for? How strong is it afterwards

Thanks for the tray offer, would like a few more pics if possible.

Dont really want to do the chop although I could do it. Im only into the 4wd modification game as a hobby in my spare time and I seem to be struggling to find much of that.

Strength is easy to gain cause you can put as much steel into the rear wall as you want.

Ive got heaps of pics although not many details so I might email them to you and take a few detailed pics of the tray itself (it got built in storage compartments across the rear) The tray is just sitting outside going to waste ATM.
