Top job mate- I’ve always wanted to put a timber tray on my Ute- I’ll have a crack myself

[@lethalz9]

Thanks mate! I'm by no means a master at anything, more of a Jack. It just took some careful planning and measuring to get it right. The only thing I would do differently is install some ratchet strap tie points down each side underneath the tray and I would get a better quality lacquer. Maybe a marine one? Good luck!

Great job looks awesome

[@AusWorkshop]

Very nice but I would imagine the pine will need to expand and contract, because it's glued down to the frame pieces something has got to give and it would eventually split or buckle along the length of the tray. Each piece expands and shrinks every time it rains or is in full sun. That all adds up to a lot of movement along the total of those boards glued edge to edge. Looks great when it's first done but I'm wondering what it's like now a few years on?

Just need some wood wheels now

I hate to tell you this, but you got ripped off by whoever sold you that truck. The steering wheel is on the wrong side! 😜
