- We bought a new camping set up, a canopy with a roof top tent and we needed to get rid of the tub on the ute and have a tray so we built our own!

“should be easy but it won’t be’” story of every job I do haha
Brayden Moore Glad we’re not the only ones! 😂
I reckon every project manager I’ve worked with should get this tattooed on the back of their hand.
This needs to be on a tshirt 👌🏻
Luke Taranto Haha one day we might make some merch and that’ll be our logo 😂👌🏼
I said the same thing when I went to pull the tub off my Hilux to build a tray onto, bugger me dead it was actually rather easy
Fark mate you did a brilliant job . Well done . Great camera work as well fantastic 👊🏻
William John Thanks a lot William! 👍🏼
well done, love that massive shed.
psy06 Thanks heaps!! Haha yeah it’s pretty handy.
great Job i find Trays one of the easy jobs to make i also custom made my own canopy with wind up jacks.i had a full size double bed in one side and all the kitchen and electronics the other side which i wired my self.
Mate you sound like a top bloke! I so wish I had your skill set and knowledge to pull stuff like that off! Awesome job! Hats off
Michael Allen Thank you so much mate, that’s a huge compliment 👍🏼
And the Aussie Score again👏👏👏
Looking at your job I’m proud to be Australian
well done mate👍
Thanks heaps mate! 👍🏼
Great job, well done, a very professional custom end result, cheers mate.
Murray Ball Thanks a lot mate, really appreciate it 👍🏼
Great to see Aussies doin it the Aussie way !
Nice rig and great fully useable tray build.
Well done.
Cheers from Penrith guys!
👍🦘🇦🇺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇦🇺🦘👍
Thanks mate!! Appreciate it 👍🏼
Nothing Aussie about it people all round the world stick metal together in a shed ?
@@keithy363
Well Keithy is it a crime to have some pride in your country?
I watched a lot of Americans and Europeans building stuff which i quite like to watch and when i saw this AUSSIE made stuff i thought it was good!
It was a comment i made as a proud AUSSIE!! that's all!!!
That's a mad build! Great work 👍
Alan Arnold Thanks a lot mate! 👍🏼
Loved it mate. I hope that one day we will have a shed like that on our property. It is just a bushland at the moment. loved they way you both worked on it. God Bless you both.
qubad malik Thanks mate, really appreciate it! 👍🏼 Haha yes we love our shed, hope you get yours!
I'm jealous of your shed! Turned out great.
jim Thanks mate! 👍🏼
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SKETCH WHEEL STANDS I HAVE EVER SEEN
That's a fair comment mate, they're pretty sketchy 😂
I'm planning on doing it on my D22 Navara, thanx for the inspiration mate, cheers😁👍
Wayne Jakamarra Thanks heaps mate! All the best with yours 😁
Very neat and clean build. Absolutely love the farm setup and little shed and lawn and farmhouse. Got a Ford 5000 tractor on the farm as well. Good job mate sure it will work brilliantly. Just leave ample space between the cab and the rear, the chassis flexes quite a bit during off-road conditions and you don't want the cab and the rear connecting. Keep the wiring to and from the rear simplified to a single Anderson plug and for controls get a quick release plug you can grab from any auto-electric shop, that way if you ever need to remove it for upgrades or maintenance you simply unplug everything and remove it.
Thanks mate! The 5000 is almost the most used tractor on the farm, it's great.
Thanks for the dust tips! Had me beat were all the dust was coming from.
No worries mate! It got us too but glad we found where it was coming from and glad we could help you.
You get such great satisfaction in making things yourself. Can't wait to make my own custom tray soon.
You sure do, all the best with yours!
@@nodaysthesame cheers mate.
Nice work. Makes me homesick for the country 😎👌🍺
Thanks mate!
Top job and seems like genuine folk definitely subbing for more of this
Thanks a lot Jack! There's more to come don't worry!
Awesome work guys 🤙🤙
Loved it! Great job! Here in Texas, we call these “ flatbeds”.
Looks sick man, good job!!! If they weren’t so expensive I’d make one myself
Thank you mate!
Good to see the tru Aussie out there👍
Thanks mate! 👍🏼
Great job. I want that shed but I don't think it'll fit on my suburban block. I'm in Perth and the rules may be different over there, but I've had to have mine weighed, inspected and licence changed from ute to flat top. Need the tare weight as low as possible to meet load restrictions under GVM. Keeps it legal and covered by insurance. I wasn't aware until finished and fitted out, so to meet regs and minimum tare I removed everything, weighed and started again. Pain.
I dont know whether to read this in a Scottish accent or an aussie accent, since you never said wich Perth you're from haha
Nice job bud that just goes to show what a bit of time and effort can do
Thanks heaps mate! 👍🏼
Awesome work!
Thanks heaps! 👍🏼
Nice work all round!!
Killa Watt Garage Thanks mate!! 👍🏼
Great video guys. 👍
Mark Green Thanks Mark! 👍🏼
Real nice effort there Phil&Georgia. I’m also dreaming of a nice bandsaw too which is at the top of my Wishlist.! Cheers Kids. I tips me hat to yas.”....
Sarge 690 Thanks so much mate! Really appreciate the support 👍🏼
Damnnn thats sick! Im keen to make my own tray one day, 17 right now

occyman Thanks mate!
Love it 👍🏻
Hamo Ormond Thanks mate!
Great job
Nice work!
Thanks mate! 👍🏼
Great vid guys! You've convinced me to start my tray build. I'm thinking I'll do a removable headboard but the rest pretty much like yours
4BoltClevo Thanks a lot mate! Sounds like a good plan! 👍🏼
Well done bloke. Lots of room for rum.
Phill Sanders Thanks mate!! Yep definitely 👍🏼
Congratulations Phil, well done for the design and the hard work. One thing troubles me, when you have to change a tyre, I think the cable to the reversing camera could be in the way.
My Dad built a tray by himself self he came home every day after work and done a bit
Great job quick tip when laying out any thing gates frames etc use the square of your steel welding table top sheet and f clamps can save time
And if you ever get any spare cash buy a half decent metal bandsaw you will save a shitload on grinding and cut off blades
Cheers Penola SA
Iain Hetherington Thanks! A bandsaw is on the wishlist.
Nice video looks good!
Thanks mate! 👍🏼
A AWESOME JOB FROM KENTUCKY USA
Thanks mate! Appreciate it, love the US!
Well done mate, good advice from a bloke that's not a wanker 👍👍
Garry Boyd Thanks mate, really appreciate it 👍🏼
@@nodaysthesame got my sub for your efforts! Pretty sure your my first too 😂😂
Garry Boyd Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍🏼
Looks a quality tray, good job mate👍 $2200 for just the hardware, can't imagine how expensive a custom one would cost if you bought it
Thanks mate! Yeah they can be crazy expensive.
Omg cool
Very nice
Great job.
Thanks John!
@@nodaysthesame If you a doing the tour and want to experience real winter camping in the Snowies, I'm always there with lots of tips of my own. You can get hooked on snow camping (well, camping where it often snows anyway)! Keep up the good work.
@@johnkennedy486 Wow sounds amazing!! We camped at Blue Waterholes last year in the Kosciuszko National Park and it snowed overnight so it was a great experience. Thanks so much for the support!
Came out pretty good, been thinking of doing this for awhile, what wall thickness did you go for with the painted RHS? 2mm?
Ejay Thanks mate! Yeah 2mm 👍🏼
Awesome stuff thanks for sharing. Got some talent there for sure. I grew up on a farm & have done a fair bit of welding but you look like you might be a boiler maker by trade right?
I just got a new tray & canopy for my Hilux today & so I’ll have to remove the tub as well. So thought I’d check out what others have done to remove it.
No I’m just farmer who will give anything ago and learn as I go.
Hey Mate,
Top job!! Looks awesome!
What size box tube did you use?
Cheers
Jimi
Scoot 8181 Hey, thanks heaps! Used 25 x 50 x 2. And the headboard was 50 x 50 x 2.
Great job guys. Well done.
Any idea what it weighs?
Thanks mate! Yeah it’s 60kgs heavier than what the tub was.
So I'm looking at making my own tray for my Ute but I'm wondering how you got the positioning of the chassis mount rails and how you connected it to the chassis.
Like a gloooovve 👍🏼
I love to do that to my Hilux, great job. I find it silly that there hole things in the back of the cab.
AssaultWolf Thanks mate! Yeah they’re really silly.
I'm pretty sure those are there so that when you shut the doors, you don't pop windows or ears or something due to air pressure. Some do have slightly better designs with less dust invasion though.
And to get fresh air into the cab there has to be SOME where for the stale air to exhaust. Might be important on a long trip so you have fresh oxygen to breathe as cabs get better and better sealed...
But some sort of labyrinth to keep dust out would be good.
Great video. How many hours do you think you put into the build?
Stevo M Thanks mate! 👍🏼 it took about 2 weeks all up but had work in between.
Good video!
Just wondering what light and blinkers are on the back?
Thanks mate! Sorry I don’t know the brand, we just got them from our local auto shop.
your only as good as ur tools.. well done!
Silent alluminati Thanks a lot mate! 👍🏼
good job what gauge RHS tubing did you use looks great
Breaking Toast Thanks mate! 👍🏼 Used 2mm tubing.
What sizes of steel did you use, looking to do this for my Colorado
Hey mate, awesome build! Any chance of getting the measurements for the headboard and width of the runners that are bolted to the chassis. Cheers
Hey mate! Thanks heaps. If you go to our Instagram page @nodaysthesame_ we have a photo of the plans in the highlights 👍🏼
Neat.
Thanks mate!
Hey mate what paint did you use and how is it wearing cheers
Hey mate nice job on the tray I'm looking into building my own 07 hilux just wondering if I could use you drawing as a base
Thanks mate! 👍🏼Yeah no worries, we can email you the photo of the plans if you like?
@@nodaysthesame yer mate that would be great thanks Buff_964@hotmail.com is my email thanks again
Hey 👋 you said you get dust problems with recycling air con.i have the same Ute.tho I haven’t had that problem.
Luke Friend Hey mate, that’s good to know.. it only happens to us when we’re on a super dusty road (bull dust).
Great work and realization😎 you have a detailed plan please I would like to make the same tray on my Hilux
Hey mate, if you head to our Instagram @nodaysthesame_ we’ve got the Ute tray plans in a stories highlight for you to screenshot 👍🏼
Actually we were able to add it onto our UA-cam page too 👍🏼
👍🔥👌
Just wondering what size RHS you guys used for the tray frame and what the overall dimensions were. Looking to do one similar. Cheers
Hey mate, the RHS size was 25 x 50 x 2 for the tray, headboard was 50 x 50 x 2 and overall dimensions for the tray was 1860 x 1860.
How many litres of paint did you end up using I’m in the middle of making my tray and just wanting to get a rough idea of how many litres of paint I’ll need to get cheers
Tyler Bode Hey mate I think it was about 2 litres.
Very well done
Down south Adventure bro’s Thanks mate!! 👍🏼
Is there a way to get a look at how you built your draw? Cheers
Hey mate, we have another video coming out soon with all that in detail stay tuned! ☺️
Hey wondering how much was it to build that tray. I've been looking at either building one myself or buying one is there much of a difference 🤔
Hey mate, it was about $2200 all up 👍🏼
What did you do about the fuel filler pipe mate?, I just added a bit of plate onto the chassis to hold it but it sits right behind the cab. Wouldn’t mind seeing what you did for yours, would like to change mine.
Hey mate I welded a bracket to the tray, what’s your email address and we can send a photo if you want?
Sure mate thanks, aaronbuit@hotmail.com
@@stated05 Have just emailed you, sorry for the delay!!
I dont have your welding skills but do you reckon I could put a 2000 Triton tray (dual cab) onto a 2005 Rodeo (dual cab)
I don’t see why not mate, just gotta change the mounts underneath!
Was the steel on ya base 40mm by 80mm
Hey mate, it was 25 x 50.
What size steel u use for headboard and rough estimate of price
Hey mate. Headboard size is 50 x 50 x 2 and we spent about $2000 all up on the tray.
What thickness wall did you go on your square tube?
Cameron Heading Hey mate, it’s 2mm 👍🏼
@@nodaysthesame ah cool, I went 3mm on mine because I want sure if 2mm would be strong enough for the Rooftop Tent with the missus and I
Hey mate what was the program that you used for the design?
Hey mate, the program is called SketchUp 👍🏼
can you guys please send me the tray plans
Did he just move the car backwards by the tyre ? First I’ve seen that 😂
I'm glad someone else noticed! I was surprised while I was filming him doing it haha.
Yep. For when you dont wanna scratch your paint with dirty hands
Hey mate, awesome job. Can I ask how you mounted the tray to the chassis? did you weld a bracket to the tray and bolt it on? did you use all 6 chassis mounts or only the 4 back ones? I'm at this point with my tray currently and not sure where to go from here
any photos would be great
Cheers!
It always amazes me when people just build stuff from scratch, I can barely hang up bathroom blinds straight 🙄
Thanks mate! 😂
hey mate where did you get your plans from?
Hey mate, I drew them up on SketchUp 👍🏼
What website did you use to design the tray?
william A Hey William, we used a program called SketchUp which is free 👍🏼
im interested in the tray you built great by the way any chance you can send me the tray plans. cheers mate
No worries Paul, can you send us your email address or maybe get in contact through our Instagram page and we can send a photo of the plans as that's all we have. Lost the actual file on our computer not long ago unfortunately.
@@nodaysthesame charmaindavis@bigpomd.com
@@pauldavis9027 Hi Paul, just sent the email! Sorry for the delay.
@@nodaysthesame Hey Hoss, I just wanted to say, "Great job on the build! It turned out nicely." I was also wondering if you could tell me the name of the program y'all used to get the plans drawn up? I heard it mentioned that the plans were free, so I wanted to try my hand at it. Thanks a ton! If you want to email me any information for it, I would greatly appreciate it. My email is weslymanley@gmail.com. Much appreciated!
@@weslymanley8953 Thanks heaps for the support 👍🏼Yeah no worries it's called Sketchup and when we were using it it was free but now that we look it up it seems to have a subscription price on there so not sure. Can email the plans if you like 👍🏼
Have you a link to Sketchup please. I can only find Sketchup viewer. Thanks guys.
No worries, here's a link. When we downloaded it, it was completely free as a program on our computer but now it looks like you can only use the free version online which isn't too bad. www.sketchup.com/plans-and-pricing#for-personal
How many hours did that take you
TheDangerBuck It pretty much took 2 weeks all up but had work in between.
why didn't you get it galvanised and then paint over the top of it, like most boat trailers?
It warps the checker plate
Because galvanized is harder to weld. And the paint doesn't stick to it as good.. plus it's more expensive.
Hey mate, what’s the size of your tray? Many thanks
Hey mate, all over it’s 1860 x 1860.
Couldn’t get it factory with a tray?
Paul Hart We didn’t want a tray 5 years ago when we bought it.
How many bolts to remove the wellside 4X big ones?
Hey mate, had to google what a wellside is haha we call it a tub here in Australia but the answer is 6 bolts! 👍🏼
@@nodaysthesame haha I’m in nz, but yep cheers I’m missing 2 thanks for the help
My wife is a kiwi she should have known that one haha! Good luck and hope you find them! 😂
@@nodaysthesame should be easy to source at an engeering parts place
Any chance of getting the plan to make a tray?
Yeah no worries mate, what’s your email and we’ll send the photo of our plans?
That seems like a lot of overhang, hope you don't snap the chassis.
Nah mate it's no worries.
Whats ya mesurements on the tray ?
Hey mate, overall it’s 1860 x 1860.
I rekon you'd fit about 40 bottles of rum in that draw.
Im Straya 🍻
