Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Sorry about the long delay people but I have been very busy with moving and lining up stuff to go to WA. Anyways, I finally cut the zook in half last weekend!! YAY! So now all i have to do is sus out a tray and tidy up the cuts i made and weld the back section on (behind the passenger and driver) so that water doesnt come gushing in!!! Anyways, besides that, I have been looking into doing a roll cage as well...seems like the best protection for me and my missus!!!! Was thinking one hoop over the back of the body (just behind the seats) and then run that down through the tray? Will post some photos asap..will be taking them tomorrow

perhaps a members thread?

When are you comming to WA and were are you going to live drop me a line when you get here so that we can organise to get you out wheelin with us .

Was kinda wondering this myself. I'm figuring he had some problems getting it rego'd??? Klappers, what's the beef mate?

The beef being that I would not have been able to get it reg'od. And I didnt want to touch it more than what I had to. If I had wanted to keep it I would have to have taken out the coils and put back in the leafs (not a big job i know), and to be serious I couldnt be bothered. So I swapped it for a stock 1988 WT SWB ST. But I am stripping all the good bits out of bretts rig. So parts I have off bretts rig are

1. AirLockers front and rear
2. 32" Centipedes
3. 1.6L Vitara motor.

So thats about 4 grands worth of stuff and I am going to swap it all over to the new rig AFTER i get it on the road ....

Also, there was problems with brett hacking up the floor plan and removing the drivers seat rail and welding plates on top of it....To much to have to change to get it on the road

those photos of the yellow car with the black tray is not mine..just going to be running a tray similar to this

That tray is insane, that whole truck is sweet . was wondering where the spare goes though. will your ride be ready for the gymkhana over here in WA in oct ? More here if you havn't heard WWW.4wdgymkhana.com.au Your build up has got me excited bout building my own, decided a while back I wanted a LWB tray back then seein yours got me ichin, but not in the situation to start yet . I'll just have to keep an eye on yours for now. Will be real interested in the tray measurements inthe future though .

rhetts tray looks alot smaller in those pictures then given ... also it looks alot sweeter in real life

Like the flatbed, if my rear keeps rusting away.. I might go this route.

going to go to a metal supplier on the weekend and sus out prices for some RHS and 5mm checker plate And then measure it all up....

Will you be running a full size spare tyre with your tray design?

With your materials for the rear of the cab, myself and others have used 3mm was plenty tuff, and 5mm is that for the tray top?? i think mine was 2.6 or 3mm just think of the wieght factor as its only a sierra remember what u cut off probly made of old coke cans so doesnt wiegh much.

Looks good, i especially love how you didnt remove the fuel lines beforehand lol
