Old Ute, New Tray: Part 2 The Walk-through

[@keanwoodall7598]

25K tray and canopy set up on a 10-15k cruiser.....fukn mint 👌🏻 would be a dream set up tho. dynamic has done a great job, best looking canopy I've seen.

[@DanieSimpson]

Yeah they have done amazing!

[@lukeclarke8054]

Set up how she wants it truck does what she needs to do. To me that goes past money value.

[@fraservermaak7001]

Very very nice set up to your way of the changes you can make and light enough for a lady to easily do it like it you really got something good going there

[@DanieSimpson]

Thank you!

[@stanyoung9546]

This is how a quarentine must have to be!!! Greetings from Costa Rica. Beautiful, matches with the owner.

[@timau7664]

Purpose built a cage for my dog in the back of my wagon years ago and she loves it, definitely her happy place. Put her on the back seat and she gets all anxious and spews everywhere... Dog owner life. Looks good. Perfect for some serious self isolating.

[@DanieSimpson]

That's it hey!

[@Phenixrising-p1p]

Looks great! As a owner of 2 beagles i understand having space for them. I own a fj cruiser and when we pull our 17ft trailer i fold the rear seat doown and put there beds in the back. The pups have the whole back to them selves. Have fun!

[@DanieSimpson]

Awh that is awesome!

[@brandonspain3483]

You have done an amazing job on the Olboy .

[@DanieSimpson]

Thank you!

[@chorleycake7942]

Awesome looking gear, especially that rooftop tent

[@DanieSimpson]

Yeah love it!

[@seanbudby1851]

Tip trick with my dog box to keep my old fluffy girl cool I got a custom made washer bottle, washer motor, switch, relay, fuse, tiny mist sprays from good old Bunnings an voila now my dog keeps extra cool on those summer months.

[@DanieSimpson]

Nice! This is all lined and insulated and much cooler then outside and the cab especially with the rooftop on top as well

[@bobw9297]

You guys are lucky , you can not get anything like that in Canada with out the price being untouchable . You will have many years of fun with the new set up , looking forward to seeing it all in action ,

[@asfix1000]

Ole Boy looks so mint now, I especially like how it looks with only the dog box. Good work Danie. Greetings from Serbia. Take care :)

[@chrisoh6627]

Looks schmick as! Can't wait to see it out and about!

[@touringwithtyrone4933]

great setup. been ummming and arrggghing over a roof top tent but your setup has pushed back to looking at this again. (same with a camper trailer) great video

[@DanieSimpson]

Sooo quick and easy

[@KegRaider]

Saw you driving off Bayswater road the other day as i was coming the other direction. Your truck looks AMAZING! I got so excited telling the wife next to me about it.... she didn't seem as excited as me

[@DanieSimpson]

Haha that's cool!

[@davidvincent2838]

Looks amazing and equipped well and truly with quality basics you need, I reckon the fridge size is perfect, Yiu can never have enough fridge space for coldies. AND you're spot on, if you've got a ute you wanna use it as a ute which is why opted for slide on. Mines a bit more friendly to the old knees than yours though. Although in my younger day I would have loved the rooftop stuff.

[@DanieSimpson]

Thank you!

[@Iaapwm]

Bag(cloth) of rice in the Roof top tent will help absorb any moisture. Then place bag in the sun to dry n good to go again. Enjoy your video, Tks from Lismore NSW

[@DanieSimpson]

Good thinking

[@4x4touring47]

Best video yet! You've done so so much work there ,- awesome setup! 😀👌👍 Heaps of happy touring to come! Hope you're out there now keeping safe from the big bug! Just arrived at camp on Yorke Peninsula SA and popped a beer and watched your vid . . . . Took me totally away from the craziness that's happening to the human race! You're a legend Danie 👍👌😀

[@DanieSimpson]

Thank you so much

[@killakoala1087]

Awesome set up,, like the 4x4 to, with your trailer you be got a good set up. Well done

[@blairjoyce3778]

I agree that dog box needs window or mesh as dogs love being wet if it rain as you can have options of roll down clear window to stop rain in winter time ! Nice setup cheers 👌😉👍

[@DanieSimpson]

The dog box has windows and if the dog isn't in there I have covers so that it's sealed

[@blairjoyce3778]

Awesome set up Danie look mint 👍🏼👌🤩

[@Ingarfield]

That thing is looking mint well done

[@jimbojones2457]

I've been saying it for years! I don't know why the hell people insist on having steel trays for camping use! It's a waste of weight. You don't need the extra strength of steel if you use heavy duty alloy. Very smartly set up Danie, well done. I also have a full sized alloy canopy on my 79 dual cab and i haven't even needed to upgrade my suspension. Love the roof top tent!

[@Berserkaru]

for those side toolbox, if you put some rope so it only opens horizontal, it could make a nice step for Doggo to jump up in, if he dont already.

[@rickm4295]

I think a sliding window in the Dog box / Canopy would be awesome ! So you can reach back and rub his head while your going down the track , haha. Even if Ol Boy needs a sliding window also to make it happen....On second thought , Mars is gonna ride up front with you anyway . The box is for boyfriend / hubby / groceries anyway. Your Ol Boy is super baddass. You did good.

[@brisonpalmer6730]

Really sweet canopy and your dog is so cool 😎

[@brandonspain3483]

Put some marine carpet in your dog box easy to fit and remove and dogs love it.

[@DanieSimpson]

Thats the plan but he has a mat for now🙂

[@nzblakis]

Just saw your insta story about the muppets Danie, hope they dont get you down too much. You are doing a fantastic job, im really impressed with what you have done and how you continue to just be you. Ignore the haters! Thank you for all of the content you provide :) Blake.

[@outbacknomad9939]

Great set up

[@lukeclarke8054]

Fairly similar yet so different to what I want haha. Awesome set up I’d want a rear window in the cab so my dog can poke his head though.

[@mattstreet4104]

Don’t know how safe that would be. I think the canopy will flex as it’s not joined

[@DameEdnaBrown]

Great outfit Danie

[@DanieSimpson]

Cheers🙂

[@aeromech8563]

awesome set up you have there now Danie, I've been looking at a similar set up as i have said before i like the idea of the tray back but want the dog box like you so best of both worlds and with the trailer you can have a main camp in a site and clear off for a night then come back. good work. ps good choice of watch👍

[@DanieSimpson]

Thats it hey!

[@OzBull]

Looks good!

[@samyeomans6710]

I need advice!!! I have a 2400 tray, 1000mm canopy permenantky there for work and a jack off canopy that’s 1200 long with a ladder rack to put a rooftop tent on. Having the tent in the 1200 tray at the back hanging off the end about 10% and over the front about 35%. When jacking off, does the canopy and tent feel tippy? If that makes sense.

[@olaf9198]

Wow, good content also with the weights!

[@joshpritchard4803]

Great set up. We are looking at getting a dog box with a canopy. In sunshine coast qld. Looking for ways to AC the dog box? Anyone know anything about this? Cheers, Josh

[@DanieSimpson]

most ac units have the condenser and pipes on top of the vehicle for Max airflow but not a very ideal look. or I've seen people extend their vehicles aircon unit via pipes but this will diminish the effectiveness of the Ac system. my dog box is completely insulated and I live in one of the most humid places, usually around 10°C cooler in the box and whilst driving the doors are angled to allow air to be drawn into the box

G'day Danie looks awesome! Just wondering what the measurements of the 2 canopies are?

[@DanieSimpson]

1100x1800 and 800 x1800

[@petermiddo]

👍 Thanks Danie. What wasnt real clear (not so bright, me) is the spare situation. Do you still have a spare underneath the tray or, when you get to camp & set up, do you then need to take the spare off the back & chuck it on the dog box?

[@DanieSimpson]

No mine are too big. Why would i take the spare off?

[@DanieSimpson]

@@petermiddo i will never leave my camp all setup. Thats how shit gets stolen haha

[@TerryManitoba]

ARe you planning on comparing/contrasting this to your new Patriot rig? & reasons why you switch so soon after getting this camp set up.

[@DanieSimpson]

Not sure what your talking about I've had a trailer well before I had my tray built. My tray setup is also not comparable to a camper trailer they are two completely different items.

[@shagsshag149]

Nice set..up

[@West4ea]

What’s the weight distribution like front to rear? The rear canopy is a lot heavier than the dog box. Could you swap the boxes around so the heavier canopy is at the front? Could you run just the rear canopy up against the headboard with out the dog box? Well worth getting “old boy”:on some corner scales to see where the weight is. But loving the look looks a real quality job by Dynamic

[@DanieSimpson]

Very close to even. 1.25 front and 1.60 rear. Rear is balanced left to right. And no plans to move the order of the boxes, only need the dog box on for daily stuff

[@West4ea]

Danie Simpson good to know you’ve checked the weights. Not too bad I thought it would be worse to be honest it’s amazing how many people build trucks with no regard to weight distribution

[@DanieSimpson]

@@West4ea oh blows my mind too and people thinking that the distribution is the same in all utes. I could run a tonne of weight at the back of my tray for decades and probably never have an issue where the newer utes bend at thr first sign of misplaced weight

[@West4ea]

Danie Simpson the classic example is the double cab with a big canopy and then only 2 people and empty rear seats

[@DanieSimpson]

@@West4ea haha yes. And probably a few 100kg over gvm with nothing in the canopy too

[@dme6991]

Looks awsome mate

[@DanieSimpson]

Haha nah still an ol farmute at heart

[@travisward9186]

Side question the song u have on as ur setting up the tent what is that

[@harryballzack]

Seems like a lot of weight toward the rear of your truck. Does that cause the on road handling to suffer. Especially with the trailer hooked on.

[@DanieSimpson]

Nothing has changed from before handles as it always has. And the rear axle stll has 1 tonne left beforeit goes over its capacity

Can you lift off the rear section and still camp in it. So if you setup a basecamp you don't have to carry the rooftop tent and all the other electronics?

I would build up a support leg for them rather then sleep on the back off legs alone but wouldn't be hard to have made. Ita 1100 x 1800

My old ones didn't and normally just see people run strip foam if they do. Not gonna hear it over my tyres anyways 😂

[@noelscammell662]

It all depends on the hinges people use You can use pipe and rod Or get nice fitting ones machined up. Using the genuine unilock tray locking pins than ones, generic you buy at bunnings also make a big difference
