tinny on hilux, how big?

troyza,
Been on a trip up the tip of the Cape where one of the party had a Dual Cab Hilux with a 12 ft tinny upside down on top and no problem. The frame used to stick out over the cab. Ensure that your frame is strong enough. I will try and find out what size box steel it was made out of. The back seat sounds like a good storage area. No fuel though.
Cheers,

Cheers bros,
Thatd be bloody great, ide be up for the 12ft just thought itd be to high and wide up there, but good shade on the cab, is that your trailer, no worries with that behind ya out bush?

troyza,
Yes the frame was made from 25 x 25 box and went to the Cape and back.
Cheers,
Bros.

I carried a Stacer Seasprite 3.50 and a 15hp Merc in the back of the tray. The boat was supported by only the racks I made up for the tray and was positioned fairly evenly on them. As a result there is a bit of overhang on the rear. I did this because I didn't want the boat resting on a roof rack on the cab. The tub and cab move independantly.
I made a stand that bolted to the back of the tub and the floor for the motor. I thought it better that it was upright.
I pulled the rear seat out and cut a ply base out to go in it's place. I mounted my fridge to this.
This is what I did with my dual cab for my cape trip.
