That hasn't stopped me from dreaming though. I love the look of the tubs on the Tritons but have seen some very cool trays of late which has got me thinking. What would I want in a tray. Got some ideas together and have wacked together some dodgy MS Paint sketches.
Each of the 3 trays would incorperate the following.
- Headboard tubing would be pressure tested and act as a compressed air tank
- Headboard would have an integrated aux fuel tank that gravity feeds to the main tank.
- Hatch under the floor to house a compressor and water pump
- water tank between chassis rails
- Jack Off Camping Box
- Recessed tie down points in the tray floor for when the camp box is removed.
I aslo wanted it to look like a comp tray but to be useful for touring. So its a mix of tube and box section. Main deck area is the same size as an ML tub with the added angle bit bring it near the MN tub length. Anyway I have 3 ideas down on paper at present
Tray 1
Tray 2:
Only difference is the rear wheel arch design. Tubing runs to the rear of the tray. Mesh or a tool box could be added here.
Tray 3:
Tray 3 is a little more standard as it looses the spare holder. As such there would be no spare when the camp box is removed so if I went this way I would swap out the current roof rack for the one attached below.
Camp box
Roof rack if going tray 3.
Centre has 2 22inch light bars, sides have 9inch bars at an angle. The cage aslo goes above the tyre to allow timber / kayak etc to be strapped on on the odd occasion.
These probably will never happen for me but has been a bit of fun thinking and designing.
Thoughts?

Or if you do your dream custom build can I please be the first in line to buy this one? Lol.
