Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Has anyone built one, and did they have any trouble getting it passed in NSW, if so what went wrong .As mine is going under the grinder at Xmas ,but before i chop it i'm building the tray.Is it possible to stick the spare wheel under the tray as i only run 235/75/15s .And making it a tilt tray if it's plausible . Or do you think i should try to swap the body for a tray back cabin,anyone got one and yes mine is a long wheel base
Thanks in advance

why are you cutting up your lwb? What do you think you will gain from cutting it up and going to a tube tray? I can't see any point myself but if there is a purpose I guess go for it. Personally I would just be putting the tyre in the back and perhaps bobbing the overhang

DO NOT CHOP IT

steve's (oozook) zook has a tube tray also timmy (redzook) did

as for fitting tyre under it should be easy i got my spare 31' under my tray (its a standard zook ute)

you could make it like chris's zook style side ute, so theres seperation between you and the stuff you carry

Don't tube it...
Cut it here..



Lwbases are a rare commodity these days.
If you must have a tube tray... chop up a SWB.

Thats why i asked if anyone wants a lwb body for a cab from a tray back

but what are you hoping to achieve with this mod?

Time for a change. its either that or sell it and get a bike. And i like the looks of a tube tray.

whoops. double post.

I chopped my LWB and its soooooo much more practical for carrying stuff. I can fit heaps on. my tray is 1500 x 1500. Its soft top and I have a windjammer from MUcanvas.

I cant fit my spare under my tray as I have kept it fairly low, should have made it fit when I made the tray but im not about to change it now. It would look better as a tube tray but Im happy with what it is, just need a rollbar and headboard.

I much prefer the soft top LWB trayback idea compared to a hardtop trayback which are limiting in leg room.

you could always copy mine that i had made



for more info on it check out my buildup

Please, please, please dont cut it. I cut mine off in 2002. Now i regret it. Somuch so that i made my own ute back to try and fix my mistakes. Pic of my tube tray, (just dont look at my spare wheel placement) and what I have done now.

don't be shy to cut up a LWB, i actually think they look better with a decent tray, but don't chop a shorty, they look shite!

Just have to work out what sort of look i want.And then see if the engineer, will let me do it
