The Custom Ute Tray of My DREAMS 

Looks bloody good mate! Glad you got some inspiration from my build, so cool to see! Nice work!

Absolutely loved this build video! I've been watching tons of flatbed build videos because I'm planning a build myself and this has been the best one I've watched, gave me lots of great ideas, especially love the nut rivets idea!

Great guide here...very excited to build one. Yours turned out spectacularly!!!

Wow. Amazing transformation. Love it!! 👏🏻👏🏻

love it Mate. what i love about theese custom bed Builds is they fix a need. youre building it so it fits your needs.

Awesome job mate...Well played , well played indeed...Got me fired up to do one for my ute...:)

so good!! looks great!!! the way you used those channel locks made me scowl. when you just go with it is the best!

I amazes me to see the creativity and skill that people have. From a Californian, bloody nice build mate!

That came up awesome mate. Has certainly given me some ideas for when I have to build my new one

Great build video! turned out good.

Great work mate! 👏

This is a top video!! good clear informative narration, The man deserves a Tui.

Your welds are superb. Well done Josh. X

i loved this great job and great video, have a blessed day.

Well done mate!!

Nice I enjoy watching your work...

Great job with the build! Love watching other guys sit there and stare at a project trying to figure out how they actually want to do something 😆. I am pretty jealous as an american that everyone else can buy hilux's and we cant. Had one as a company truck while working overseas and loved it.

bloody awesome mate👌

HELLS YEAH this is what I’ve been waiting for

Wow respect for the dedication, looks much better this way.

Good video mate... building one myself, so thats how I found yours... asking your nan what she thinks, was a crack up.

That was an awesome build! Well thought out and executed. I wish you had plans as I have the same ute and i would copy that no problem 😏👍. Oh an easy way to put the sides on is stand them on the edge and slide them onto the pins ! Cheers and thanks for sharing your build. 🇭🇲👍🦘🐨👍🇭🇲

Blessing to have those trucks readily available. Tough here in the USA

Good job. Came out nice. You should show a little of the rest of the truck.... I like the sound of its Diesel engine.

That is a work of art.

GOOD WORK from the USA and GOD BLESS

Amazing!

Yeah i know it's a year on from this build but i just found it. Great job. Just a hint with the sides If you stand them up on the tray you can slide them straight onto the hinge pins welded to the tray. Saves holding them out and balancing them to get them on. Love ya work Cheers from Sydney's western suburbs mate. 🇭🇲👍🦘🍺🍺🍺🍺🦘👍🇭🇲

Really nice work!

Well done

Finally a new Scriv video!!!

Greetings from Chicago....nice work. Sydney great town....Great country Australia 🇦🇺....

Very well done.

Great to see you back man,,,;-)

Awesome work.

Looks OEM kudos from Atlanta, USA !!!

Nice work man the new tray looks awesome!

I literally have seen countless build videos and this is the by far the most simple and straight forward build I have seen. If I was ever to build a tray for myself this is the the blueprint I would use. High side flaps have given me an idea about how to stow away more stuff in tray. Totally loved this video mate, also for the reason that you used gasless welder and used it very effectively. I hope that you get to use this and enjoy it for many moons to come.

Its very nice ..well done.

Really great build, I'm definitely gonna steal your way of doing the tie rail with the cutouts and the pipe when I make my own. The high sides are a good idea too. Looks great, my only problem is with ally for the tread is it just gets beat up way too easy and it flexes and bends with a bit of weight. I used to drive a flatbed Hino with a full ally tray and that thing would bend til it was touching the tyres if the weight was too much to 1 side, not to mention all the scratches, holes, etc, just securing a steel load can permanently scar those things. You may get issues with rust due to galvanic corrosion as well (dissimilar metals fastened together without a sacrificial anode.) Still thats a mad build props to you.

best tray build ive seen. now i wanna build one

Great job on the tray build mate.

Really awesome job mate well done ... feel like doing one for a duel cab 😂

Great vid man fun tidy good music. Jack knifed me crappy 6/4 short drawbar horrible trailer into the side of my 03 Rodeo duel cab today and said f this im ditching the tub back and the awful canopy asap for a basic flat bed with timber floor no way near your build just rough to get going cheap for my self employed recent venture so cheers i came here for ideas stoaked. Not sure if you have ever watched Ronald Finger but you would be our Aussie version and worth the big subs!

Bringing those tail lights into the 22nd Century.

Thats super cool

i would have fipped the hinge pins the other direction for more security but all and all love the build. definitely trying to do this build at home here in montana

Hooks, loops....to strap items down in the tray or bed as we call it in the U.S., perhaps? Looks great 👍

Awesome!

Looks great job well done I like the truck is diesel too we dont have that option here in the US in small trucks of that size

Damn that looks good.

Finally another upload! Love your vids

I dig your tail lights and reverse lights.

One thing when mounting sideboards, after you’ve installed one side take that side and mount it on the other side. That way when your putting them back on they’re actually universal. Also I went through the catalogue at the auto parts store and used a 90 degree fuel hose and a piece of exhaust pipe for the diesel filler, cost me an extra $10 but it’s legal and piece of mind. Also hi flow fuel every time now.

nice build

felicitaciones bro, excelente idea, diseño y ejecucion, un abrazo y te mandare fotos cuando te la copie jejejejeje

Nice one mate🤙

right on

You may want to add support for the tool boxes because they have a tendency to rip out from top from having weight inside them.

Thinking about doing this to my rig here in the US, and out of all the channels I’ve watched not ounce has anyone given praise to gassless welding. I don’t do gas mig welding because of the actual cost of a 100lbs bottle plus the cost of refilling it, and if you think about if flux core wire will do just fine, in fact my whole rig is built without using gas. Almost ten years and nothing has broke apart even with hauling 3500lbs loads rather frequently.

No flicker!!!! 👹👹👹

Man, that tow bar surly sticks out now with that shorter tray. You'll be gouging a few layers of skin off your shin bones until you get use to it being there. Nice one 👍

The flickering is because the flasher is wrong You need a LED flasher The one you have is for incandescent bulbs Nice build 👍👍

You could prolly fashion up something to cover the tray and use it as a sleeping platform for when you go camping.

que buen trabajo. un saludo desde mexico hermano

The old tray has a crush point in the center so if you get rear ended hard enough it bends up in a V rather then slicing off the cab.. thats what the holes are for

Great Job on your Tray! I to wish you had measured drawings. I have a Toyota Tacoma and think your Tray, what we call a flat bed here, would look Great on it. Some day I want to put one on it. For now I have a 5 foot truck bed on it which is very limiting.

Класс👍👍👍 Просто нет слов👏👏👏 Ты очень талантливый парень🤝 Продолжай в том же духе☝

Buddy get yourself some led resistors to sort that flickering issue. Stupidcheap will have some in stock. 👍

That 3 of me. 😂 Story of my life.

My first thought when you started cutting the steel was “that’s not gonna stay straight” then 2 minutes later you said it had bowed haha

What size steel did you use around tray and what size pipe looks good going to have ago my self looks awesome

Hey mate great vid great job on the tray, what did you use to paint it like primer and how many coats Cheers

Nice build! An inspiration! Whats the width of the tray?

Hey mate do you think you would be able to mock up some plans for it because I have and n60 and want a tray like that now.

Are you able to stuff your tires all the way or do they rub the tray before the bump stops?

How has the silicone handled the vibration of the deck?

The LED lights flickering has to do with the voltage regulator built into the circuit board. Some lights with have a kind of dead zone at specific voltages.

Looks great mate I’d be careful with the rad hoses as filler pipe as the diesel will eventually eat away at the rubber and will leak or put shit all in ya fuel tank.

nice

nice vwork,

Do you have trouble with the tail lights? as i have them and the LEDs are slowly dyeing

Did you have any problems with chassis flex?

Do you remember what latches you used for the bedsides and tailgate?

Are you using 50x100 for the sides?

Hey mate, just wondering around how much this sort of thing cost you. looking at making one for my Ln106 and trying to figure out a budget

Well done! Do you carry a spare tire with ya?

Looks great mate. Not to pull ya leg but is the headboard square on the drivers side

what paint did you use?

fuck yeah DRZ baby! thats a thumbs up already

where did you get the boxes?

What do you figure this cost in materials? Im looking to build something similar.

ابدعت

What cad program is that ?

Flicker is caused by the computer looking for a higher load for the light, leds have small load, you need a high watt resistor or look up decoder kit for led automotive lights, that will fix the issue aamazon have them for like 7.00 us

Holy shit mate. SCRIV HYPE!

Great work! I have been looking at what others have done with their DIY flatbeds to give me ideas, and your build has done just that. Have you since figured out the reverse light flickering issues?

@Scrivscribe That radiator hose is NOT fuel safe my man. The diesel will eat it away, and contaminate your fuel system, and plug up all your filters, and maybe lift pump. Get real fuel hose rated for diesel.

Very nice but should of done it longer flush with the towbar.

What is the sizes of the steal used
