In this video we tackle the exciting project of fabricating a steel tray for Coal! firstly I measured out how long and wide i wanted the tray and then continued with the cutting list seen in the video! I highly recommend doing that as the steel shop was happy to supply cut and deliver the steel for only $550 and they left me with the offcuts witch has helped for the rest of the tray! I genuinely enjoyed this project and how the patrol is coming along! hope you guys enjoy the video and cheers for watching!

We got a copyright strike on this video so the music has been replaced with UA-cam’s music! Hope it dosnt annoy you guys to much as it’s not perfectly cut in! Thanks guys!
Im building my tray this weekend so youve uploaded this at the perfect time. Cheers for video mate, got alot out of it
Love the safety - closing the eyes is top notch 😂🤣
Brilliant skills boys!
Sunnies on his head, still closes eyes haha love it. Keep it up lads, you're my inspiration to make mine
This thing is looking mint! Can't wait to see it rolling around the coast.
I’m so keen to get it on the road!
Oh I’ve been waiting for this, watched all the other build episodes in about 24 hours
Wow that’s crazy! Thanks for watching legend!
This is genuinely the best lookin GQ I’ve seen. Just everything is working together so well mate unreal effort
Thanks mate!!
the amount of detail put into this is impressive! love ya vids bro
Thanks legend!!
What a weapon, I am pretty much at the same stage with my custom dmax tray, but mines still on axle stands in the shed. Watching this makes me keen as to see mine and yours finished. Top effort mate. 🤙
The outcome is mint! So glad you took your friend’s advice to redo a couple of those 😂. Anyway, I’m jealous.
Good on ya mate! I’m a fabricator by trade you blokes have done a great job for non trade!
Wow! Thanks mate, means a lot coming from a fabricator! Your job is much more involved than it looks!
@@RoamLyfe thanks mate! I really enjoy my job!
This is a pretty good video! It shows all the little detailed things you are doing. As a boilermaker/sheet metal fabricator, all looks good but the welds haha. Sorry to say! Couple tips, always push the mig, don't drag it, and you guys need a fair bit more amps, leave the wire speed as it is. A fair few welds are very cold and some of them will not hold at all. But other than that, keep it up! You'll keep getting better with practice! Depending on where you guys are, I'm on the Sunshine Coast, maybe I can help set that welder right for yas!
Awesome! The main goal for the day was to just get it to hold together and put it on the Ute! Final welds will be done off the Ute again! And what I will do is go around and grind back all the crap welds and re do them! We are also on the Sunshine Coast, but I wouldn’t expect you to do that!! I can play around with it untill it’s nice and hot!!
Love it! 👌👌👌 Patrols coming along great !
Thanks boys! Gonna have to come visit when it’s finished!
The tray looks so mint mate, have done a beautiful job. I want to almost the exact same tray if I ever get another ute or chop my wagon. Keep it up man
Thanks William! I’m pretty stoked with it so far, definitely recommend having a crack yourself!
Mate what a cracking job use absolutely killed it. like you would say she’s mint 👌🏼can’t wait for the next episode 🤙🏻
Thanks Adam! Thanks for the comment!
Keen is an understatement for the finished product!
I’m so keen!!
Bro! That's clean! Loving the episodes 🤙
Thanks legend!
Push with mig and more amps for a hotter weld. Love ya work bro
Got to love the safety boots
Mate that looks tidy as! Can't wait to see it finished 👌
Thanks legend! I’m so keen to get it on the road!
@@RoamLyfe mate you should get a laser cut sheet for the headboard with your logo in it 🤙
Another minticle vid bro. Loving it! More amps in the mig mate. Keep the gas pressure up on the argon sweet welds guaranteed
Will do!! I haven’t completed hardly any of the welds so I’ll make sure it’s nice and strong!
Beast that you guys pumped this out in one day came up minnttttt 👌
Was a lot more work than I thought haha! But we got there!
Awesome work
you blokes are having a go and building it yourself that's the main thing (safety thongs are questionable lol), i find it's a lot more fun when you do it yourself rather than paying someone to do it, and you always learn everytime you do one, can only get better from now on
thats a cool box
little bit of advise, you dont need to vertical up on that sort of gear mate, turn up that inverter and verty down. Also dont drag just push. Good fun mate good to watch, nothing better than doing builds with mates
That’s great thank you mate!! There’s heaps more welding to do so I’ll make sure I dial it in before giving it a crack
I’d love to see a vid when you guys do the Dmax!
Done
Can’t wait to see this rig!
👌👌
Love the channel and loving the build. But all the welding is horrendous 😂.
Gq's turning out sick 👌
Hahaha yeah me and the welder arnt the best of friends 😂😂 but in all fairness I’ve left most of the welding not done just so I can do back and actually take my time with it!
Hey mate awesome build. Just a quick question when you painted with raptor did you use a HVLP gravity gun or standard I love the finish and about to paint my tray.
Awesome build man. Im about to start mine within the next month hopefully. Any reason for square tubing vs c channel? Im trying to decide for mine.
Nice build. welding in flip flops brave
What’s are the measurement of your tray mate think of doing one myself great video 👍🏻
Hey maté awesome tray I’m doing one soon just wondering what size did you go for the tray mount rails are they 100 by 40
great work lads
Thanks legend!
Hey guys, how sure are you the box mounts 50x50x50 will be strong enough to stop the tray moving into the cab should you reverse into a bank or tree ??
lookin like a beast mate.
Thanks
Legend!
Sabotaging your mates welds so you don’t have to shout lunch 😂
Realising those welds are holding your tray together 😳
Great vid keen to see how it looks finished🤙🏻
Hahahaha, I’m gonna have to mark his side so when it falls apart on the tracks I have someone to blame!
@@RoamLyfe better yet don’t mark anything and that way you can blame him for anything
I’m more of a cruiser guy myself but this shit is fun to watch. Keep it up mate
Haha I would love to build a cruiser one day!! I love the 105 and I’d love to chuck a 1hd in it! Cheers for the comment mate!
Love it👌. Looking like a mint rig now! 🤤
Where did you get the bonnet protector?
Thanks mate! It’s from eBay too!
second video i have watched and i love this channel keep it up
Hope you enjoy mate!
@@RoamLyfe so far so good
Nice job!
What is the thickness of the tubing?
Hey mate, where you have the rails sitting on the blocks, it would be good to close off one side of the blocks (so you can still get in from one side. With weight in the back, there is not a lot to stop them from collapsing or folding over from a lateral impact to the tray...
Okay mate I’ll do that! I also thought about welding a large piece of steel to the back of it to strengthen it up! If I had my time again I’d get thicker box for that!
@@RoamLyfe yeah that would work, but it's not always worth the added weight...
The tray is looking great, good work.
Mint video
YEEEEEEEE UP THE GQQQQQ!!!
im a boilermaker and i think for two guys who dont weld everyday u did ok the build is looking good, but next time dont weld the top section where u r placing ur plate as when u put ur plate down u can stitch weld it down but good effort
Hey mate! Thanks for your comment!! Also I’m
Going with an alloy floor! I wasn’t going to weld it but I figured it’s better than a crack where potentially sand and moisture can get into the box section! What would you suggest in that scenario!
@@RoamLyfe sikaflex any whole u see but make sure u can still paint over it and sikaflex the alloy sheet when placing the tray down . try and get the corners nice and square so the alloy fits nice and easy
Love your videos keep it up
Thanks legend!
These videos are so interesting
Thanks mate!
Got to run more amps, she's running cold, none the less great job, looks clean
More volts
good to see u cranked up the heat those welds were shocking
i know im abit late but strooth i seen it, glad they wacked some volts into her after
How thick and wide is that rear metal piece that the taillights and number plate mount to?
Hey man do you remember what height you went to the middle of the fold ?
really makes me want to pull my finger out and fab up my own tray
Get onto it man, was good fun and this video should help a lot!
How much did it cost all up im looking at making my own
lovin the content lately. how much did all the steel set you back just for reference
Thanks Ben! It was $550 so far! Cheers mate
Where did u get the angle finder mate??
EBay mate
Any chance of getting that cut list?
also you dont need to prep rhs, the coating on it is weld through primer =]
is that 2mm or 3mm steel? im planning on doing mines, but im afraid 2mm is to weak and i think 3mm is going to be to heavy, what you recommend? putting it in a mazda bravo
Hi man bought a couple of your stickers there sick how much in materials did that roughly cost you ?
It’s 550$ so far mate!! Cheers for the support!
what gq patrol is it and what year
Awesome😅😅
Very impressive build mate! Are you going to raptor coat it or at least spray paint it?
It’ll most likley get raptor coated!
@@RoamLyfe yea sweet, that'll look sick! 👌
Hey man how much time do you reckon you spent on it all up
Dude so many hours!! Hard to say!
Wow how backyard aussie.!! Welding in t-shirt/thongs, “just close my eyes”.! 😂😂
Didn’t see any smoking around an open jerrycan tho! 👍🍻
Should of banged stitch welds in as well
What thickness was the steel
17:15 old mates got sunnie on his head why does he have to close his eyes when the other mates welding 😂
Work harder not smarter 😂😅😅
Good day mate would it be possible if i actually ask for the list of your measurements! I couldnt see clear the measurements
I will chuck one up on my Instagram today or tomorrow for you! Shoot me a message!
@@RoamLyfe thank u appreciate it!
You should put a long arm kit in the patrol
It’s on order currently 🤤🤤🤤
What steel company did you use mate?
It was a place called one steel I believe, in kunda park Sunshine Coast!
The welder needs to be a bit hotter and vertical Downs aren’t strong but love the video boys keep it up
You’ll be proud cause this weekend I wh round every weld back and learnt how to do it properly and now they are 100x better!!
These videos are grouse moite 👌looks smicky mouse
Thanks Noah!!
Hey bro im making a tray aswell but i can't seem to get that angle on the headboard right to i just made it square instead of it being angled. Any ideas?
Go find someone’s canopy and buy a angle finder! Mine was copied from a canopy just incase I ever put a canopy on!
@@RoamLyfe okay thanks heaps bro
How much did all the Steele in this video cost?
Hey mate $550 so far!
What colour should I raptor line my gq swb ?
Bruh, grey like coal!! Haha
Hahaha might have too
hahaha you can weld over the blue paint because it was designed for welding in mind.
Mad
Yewwww
Yeah im no fabricator but those welds are collldddd
Awesome to see you re welded it !
Yeah made sure all the welds so far are beefed up! She ain’t going anywhere now! 🙌
@@RoamLyfe love it mate!
How much did it cost?
550$ for the steel so far!
you definetly won lol
nice safety boots
They are safety pluggers 😂
Don’t drag MIG dude, always push if your running gas, but good work
Thanks for sharing! I actually didn’t know that! Cheers mate!
Second i think
How do we get one of these
Make one!!
@@RoamLyfe no wonder why it looks like that
Boilermaker by trade and those welds are shit lol. But was a great end result and you had a go and did it to yourself. You also beat your mates effort 😃... Nice build you doing...
Hahaha yeah we definitely don’t claim to have the best welds 😂😂😂! We did turn the welder up and go over them tho so they will be strong as! I just believe the only way to get better is to have a crack! Cheers mate!
@@RoamLyfe exactly
Deciding weather or not to make a tray on my nav, does it look as complicated as it looks or is it piss easy. Just basic math obviously some engineering
It’s pretty basic really, it’s basic math and just angles! As long as you know how to square things and all that I reckon you will be alright!
how long is the tray?
It’s 2m long and 1780 wide!
@@RoamLyfe Cheers
Lay some dime bagsss hahaha
🤘🤘
22:52 Ryan And I*
Film when you make Ryan’s tray
Will
Do!
looks fucking mint
Thanks dude!
Why is everyone welding in flip flops in Australia haha
Aussie safety boots 😅😅
looks so fucking good
Thanks Tyler!
@@RoamLyfe no worries mate keep up the great work 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Will do thanks for commenting!
No penno Ryan turn up the welder a bit
Please please pleaseeeeee change the front bar it would look so much nicer with a ARB front bar
Maybe one day!! I do like the arb but at the moment this will stay! I also really like stealth!
grab yaself a sliding bevel mate will make those angle super easy and accurate
Dam wish I grabbed one now! Definitely gonna get one for next time!!
@@RoamLyfe you look like you did a pretty good job cutting those angles, folded up perfect the bevel wouldnt have made much difference. It’s coming along nice !
Thanks mate! A lot more goes into it than I thought but turned out prettt good!
doesnt steel rust tho
9:22 caterpillar 🤦🤣
