Timmys Tourer, The BT. Toolangi trip pics

[QueenslandeR]

looking good timmmahhhhhh. do your rhino racks and the racks on the tray line up?

[UAV]

Nah they are different heights. I did this because it would look stupid if I took the roof racks off and the bars were 200mm above the cab. Also it will look better when I get the canvas canopy if it follows a similar height/line to the cab. I will remove the rear rhino rack and get an arb trade rack (2200x1250) that I can bolt on and off the tray bars and I will lift it up a bit to suit the rhino racks.

When is yours ready?

[QueenslandeR]

hmmm who said i was getting one mine wont look as fancy as yours, just colourcoded, ladder racks, rear boxes, alloy checkerplate capping on top of sides and racks. then fab up a bracket to bolt through the triangle on the bullbar that will hold my front rack for planks . when are those flash toolboxes off the drawings going on?

[UAV]

You wrote in you shed profile you dork!!! The boxes will get done later. Probably when I get the scrub bars done.

[UAV]

And im interested in what you do with you bbar as I'm looking to do the same for planks/timber.

[mattz]

Well done Tim.
It looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[QueenslandeR]

silly sheds, tell all your secrets. will put some pics up for ya when i do the front, its just a sandwich plate over the triangle with 3 locating bolts so it cant move, then some rhs welded to that with another piece of rhs thats slides into that holding the rack.

Nice work, best tray I've seen by far You'll need to start retailing those

[UAV]

Some new pics as promised.












Modified towbar, 15mm plate using original towbar and mounts

[tassie_ml]

looks great Tim. Great idea with the tow bar and putting the recovery eyes on there, how much higher do you reckon it sits now ?

[SEJ GLX-R]

Looking good Tim.

How's the paint now?

[UAV]

Tas, the towbar sits about 250mm higher than standard and my car with the 33s is 100mm higher than standard. So overall about 350mm higher

SEJ, the paint is pretty much spot on now, really happy with it. And i just fitted a rubber ute mat in it to protect the floor and stop stuff sliding around.

Looks the goods Tim nice job this could get the MOWF over to a tray instead of a tub on the next one....

[kwyjibo]

unbelievable! why do u guys do this to me... i was so set on the styleside with a quarter chop/custom rear bar and the half height canvas canopy(for the tent on top) i feel so torn... what am i gonna do

seriously looks awesome, fantastic job

[Mooons]

Very nice Tim looks sweet

[ratstriton]

Top stuff Tim look's great.
Just need the bullbar to finish it of.
Do you think you have gained much more wait with the steel tray?

[salt36]

Very nice mate

That would solve all my storage issues

Hey as Rats asked, much weight gain ? compared to the tub?

[UAV]

Now with it all finished it weights about the same as the factory tub the guy reckons. This is based on them lifting the tub off and the tray on. It would be pretty close to being the same as the factory tub is pretty heavy.

Looks good Tim. Spotted you driving down the road this morning and it looks just as good if not better going down the road.

Here are some pics of my tray finished - canvas work gets done today, so pics to follow tonight for you UAV.

[UAV]

looking good ml, whats the canvas costing you to get done?

[UAV]

Picked up an arb roof rack today. Got it off eBay for $400 and its basically new.

sorry for the crappy phone pics...

[UAV]

Still need to sort some mounts. Cable ties will do for now haha.

[ML-VR08]

$770 has 4 lift up windows on the side, plus 2 lift up flyscreen mesh ones (front only) and tinted front and rear windows. front and rear dust flaps (to reduce canopy squeezing in) its easier to show u the pics tomoz. Fella couldnt get it done today - too many ppl asking what canvas they need for various shit!!!

But will be done by mid morning tomoz....
