No one will notice mate, i did it on my old 45 and cut down the tray at the same time.....looked farkin sick. You can use 5mm U channel for a rear bumper as well.

Mine is the same. You can still fit a decent size tray on without affecting your departure angle. As long as you keep it tidy, no one will notice.

Cut it just behing the spring shackle perch leaving just enough rail to weld a rear bar back on. I use a Hilux Xtra cab tray.

Cut it square and weld the new bar, or the old one back on. You can make the tray whatever length you like.
