when we built my tray we kept it nice and low, actually dropped the tray bottom level about 3" from stock. Also built it so I could use it for camping. A esky fits on each wheel covering with tie down points. A spare wheel fits at the back with two 20l jerry cans in front. I fill the tray part with my camping boxes and on top I fit a canvas bag with my clothes, tent, sleeping bag etc
choppin'

My thoughts are to not chop it.
You said in your first post that the back is getting cancerous and you wanna chop that off. After doing the exact same thing my advice is to fix the rust.
Want some extra tyre clearance? Chop the guards out.
Want a better departure? Replace rear bumper with tube, cut the quaters, and put tail lights in the tailgate
The amount of time & effort chopping just doesn't justify the end result IMO. Not to say that doing a chop will be hard, it's just when I put the two options side by side the tray option is not the 1st one i'd go with.
Not that I think you're gonna listen anyway. Damn whippersnappers

Thats a cool flat bed! The owner is on this board isn't he?

I think his mate was on the board but not him personally
If I chop I'll probably go something along these lines cause it is pretty easy, looks bling and decently practical

Bling should of been on top of your priorities

Yeah I know his mate was on the board but I think he once posted saying it was his. Anywho bigsteve what is the link to those pic's?
I agree that a flat bed may lift the cog but i'm sure if you fill the guts with heavy stuff then it's no different to what grimbo has done. eg; fuel cell, hand winch, spare, hi lift etc..

Jake are you whether proofing the rear at all?
Tim, that is really cool.
Could do with some fill in under the tray IMO.
