Hats off mate that thing looks mad in the flesh, I new I should of got a ute. bangcomputer.gif

Now you just need some fat 10's on the back...

Bring the G6 down the workshop Dizzl... Ill see what I can do ;)

That tray does look awesome in the flesh. Is it much lighter than the tub? it was funny being behind you last night, looked like it bounced off of the road a few times! Love the exhaust position too!

Apparently my taillights are blinding... Did you notice that also?

At the moment its definately lighter. Still gotta put the bars and boxes and finish off the underneath. That will weigh it down a bit more. but yer, the back end can bounce out pretty easily. its good fun when it does it when u want it to. :buttrock:

Blinding indeed! The first time I nearly had to throw my hands up in front of my face! I noticed it even more when I saw you and henz near albert park on my way home. People definitely won't miss you, but you might still get rear-ended because of the brightness!

Pull every 2nd bulb out. It was like a light show in the city when you got then all going.

Probably wouldn't be to bad if I you just saw them in traffic, but all night jeez. Swear there burnt into my eyelids.

Sounds like a good idea. I also just remembered noticing that your number plate LED strip wasn't lit up, I'm guessing you know that already though.

Ok. After looking at it I saw 3 things I'd change if it was mine...

It needs a headboard behind the cab IMO. If you ever put anything on there then you'll need to protect the cab from damage.

I'd also do away with the bolts holding the floor down and use something flush fitting like a decent rivet.

A few tie down points would also be handy, but I guess it all depends if you actually plan on carrying anything on it.

The headboard will be a folded piece that attaches to the inside of the ladder bars when they are on.

The bolts are to be replaced with stainless counter sunk screws.

And the tie downs are going to be a bolt on polished stainless rail running underneath up both sides.

Also the whole underneath part will be completely re cut now I have chosen the layout for the taillights. They will no longer be removeable panels so no screws around them anymore. Also the numberplate will be brought out further.

Also the rear mudflaps will be brought forward about 20mm.

I would like to drop the tray about 40mm but the muffler is in the way.

Cheers for your input mate, hope u see it when the changes are made :)

Reading about this car on the forums I wish I went to the night cruise to check it out. Permanent tail lights sounds better, no screws. Will look neater n will stop little runts fiddling with them while your not at the car lol. Chosen a material for the headboard-checker plate, stainles, colored? N how big are the tubes for the racks going to be? Match the exhaust?? Haha
