Sorry if yeah getting sick of my questions but figure this is the place with the knowledge.
I have a rodeo single cab ute ...... I am looking at placing a sliding tray under my tray ... which will give approx 1800 x 850 x 180 high with will slide out to give (guessing 1500). I want to use this space for
tools recovery gear etc etc etc) with the top to be used as a cooking top or what ever.
Does anyone have something similar or what are the pro's and con's of this?
Next.
Tyre carriers I have my tyre secured behind the passenger
seat in the tray was toying with the idea off something like the Kaymar carriers external of the tray as i'm looking at a 2nd tyre, doing this allows me to sleep in the back if I want. The rest of the space will be taken up with fridge stove shelfs etc etc.
Pro's and Con's again.
I must admit the weight on the rear is a concern to me, would this be a major issue?
Thanks
Brian

Have a look at my Rig. Table consists of two pieces of 30 mm Box Tubing welded beneath the tray and a wooden top with two pieves of 25 mm Box Tubing to slide beneath the tray.
We carry it inside the tray as we have ample room.
I built a small tray out of wire mesh that fits beneath the main tray above the spare tyre. In this I carry an axe, shovel and two fold up chairs. Theres a gap of approx 200mm I can access from the rear.
If you wanted a longer table, you could get a length of Stainless Steel, make up lugs to fit in where your tray sides attach to your Ute. This could be held up by a length of small chain. You may be able to leave it permanently attached or remove it inside.
It's all really up to your imagination.
Good luck
With regards.
Wiskers.
