Hey legends, sorry if this video is a bit slack! I was very rushed and have been flat strap these past few days! Hope you enjoy it anyway! Cheers guys!

Us welding blokes are very proud of you mate! It’s always nice seeing someone get some frothy welds down for the first time! Absolute stoke legend! Keep up the great work! 🤙🏼

Remember to plate your mounts where the bolts go through cuz. You've reinforced for lateral movement but its light gauge material where the bolt head will go through. The steel will tare with a decent shunt if you dont plate it. Add the same gauge material u used in the upright supports. And grade 8 bolts. Fully minticle hectic cuz. Love it

Coals a beast!!! Being watching your videos back to back don't feel like it's a waste of time we really enjoy your content and are super rapped with you on this project... Infact you have inspired me to build my own flatbed 👍down here in South Africa

Coal is a beast, and I love watching your awesome videos not only because a GQ patrol is my favourite ute I love to watch videos like yours yours and especially yours

Coal is a frothing minty beast

Thanks for all the effort. I’ve been looking for full breakdown tray builds and yours is the most helpful.

Oooh can’t wait for this beast to be on the road! Nice work mate

I always try and watch these as soon as I can after they come out, they are so good

Amazing what you can do with a few bits of steel! Great job mate, I was going to pay a fabricator to do a tray for my 79 but many have an off the shelf standard design that they're not willing to change. Gonna design one with a mate with a welder and give it a go

Cole is a beast man love the new build Watching you do it makes me want to build my own Good stuff keep it up

Coals a beast, lovely mate!!

Coal is a beast! Can’t wait to see the tray all raptor coated. Mad respect for putting in all the long hours 👌 looks minty fresh!

Loving the build bruv, keen to see coal out on the tracks

always use 5mm thick RHS for your chasis sub frame between ute and tray .

Cole is a beast Also have a great new year mate keep these coming

Looking good Mate... I'm trying to do a chop on my Y61 TD42-Ti Wagon.... And this along with your previous two bids of the Ute fab was just what I needed in order to do my Ute conversion mod. Thumbs up Mate.👍🏼💪🏼

Coal is a beast mate. The tray is coming up mint👌. I got my p's not that long ago and videos like this just make me want a ute more and more. guess I had better start saving hey

Would love to see you build your own twin exhaust once the tray is done . Love the build man and keep up the hard work

Cole is a beast!

Welds are looking soo much better👌🏻 if you’re chasing some small leds I used some off eBay as rock lights they look like a button once they’re screwed in🤙🏻 coal is a beast

Doin' AWESOME Mate 🇳🇿👍👌💯

If you use a GQ wagon tow bar it'll neaten up the rear end a heap, they sit flush with the end of the chassis

COAL IS A BEAST👌

Loving the look man 👌🔥

Looks like you got the welder running good now bro

Great job bro. I’ll come and get welding tips off you any day.

Coals a beast

such a mint build

welds are looking great, don't forget me when you're famous too haha. LOVE THE VIDS!

Looks great mate

Coal is a BEAST!!

COAL IS A BEAST. FAYERRR

Coal is a beast

You can buy 6mm bolts that have LED lights in the end, I’ve used these as number plate lights before. I got them on eBay. Keep up the good work.

Should use a little length of led strip light for your number plate light there bright as and once mounted you’d never know it’s there I’ve got the exact same recess in my tray for the number plate and that’s what I did, p.s coal is a bloody rig can’t wait to see it finished

Coal is a beast mate 👌🏼

Nice work with those welds mate! It should be able to take some big hits now haha

No need to apologise mate!! It's your money your ute and project, don't worry about the negative Nelly's you're giving it ago go and it looks awesome. The Mona Lisa wasn't DaVinci's first painting. Keep on truckin Bro

good job thanks dude

Coal is a beast mate. Keep up the good work. Looking fucking Mint.

Much better!

Think your doing a good job on your project i have been welding for many years but stopped about 7 years ago believe me practice and knowing your machine are paramount as i have found having started again , and of course having the knowledge of appropriate standards and regulations. My one thought though is do make some drainage holes in the frames water ingress or condensation will rot your efforts . Also strongly suggest you put some drainage under those tail lights

far out I love your content. coal is a beast my man

Oh stop it with the minticle mintiness every vid! Fully frothing minty jizz at this! Easily best content creator on you tubes

COAL IS A BEAST

I saw you the other day you’re an MP300 going through Caboolture I was on a pushbike and I waved to you Keep pumping out videos man good to see videos getting uploaded Keep it up man

Hey mate good looking tray a bit different then everyone else's which is a good thing A little too for sanding go to a weld wear shop or Bunnings and grab a few 5 inch sanding discs and a backing pad to suit it will make your welds and finished product smoother and flatter then a flapper wheel 🤙

🔥COAL IS A BEAST🔥

Coal a bloody beast Yeww🤙🤙

COLE IS A BEAST

Love the DIY tray bro, half way through mine and your vids been so helpful, just wondering where did you get those rear lights? Or what they called? Cheers

New drinking game: have a shot every time Tom says sorry.. hahaha The improvement on those welds is seriously impressive! Also agree that the tapered number plate design turned out much better than your original idea. Also Coal is a beast.

Fancy sharing what videos you watched to learn the welding tips.. I’m in the same boat

Coal is a beast should be proud of yourself think this is the best custom tray I’ve ever seen, maybe a new side hustle?

COAL is a beast

Coal is a goddamn beast!

at least u gave it a crack bro keep up the mad content

Coals a beast 💪 muchhhhhh better welds!

massive improvement, should wire wheel the blue coating off first!

coal's a beast!

you mad, lad. coal is looking so moist

Hey mate awesome video. Just some led strip lights over top of the number plate would be mint.

because the 50x50 RHS is only 2mm between the bottom of the tray and chassis mounts.

Hey Tom, can you let me know where you sourced the guards

Done an absolute top job mate next time you do a tray be careful welding the cross meme we top sides if you put too much heat into it it will cause the hole to have a permanent curve o only do overhead welds on them on the undersides of the crossmembers

That’s mint 👌

You should mount the number plate light in the top

coal is a beast!

I didn't think it was a good idea to recess the plates, but I have to agree it looks pretty mint! Be good to see you do a water holding headboard with all that welding experience you're getting!

everyone thinks they are an expert on welding showing you weld on youtube usually end up as people nit picking and going so on and so forth or if your stupid good its just praise the key is as its penetrating its all good, you can always just go over it again after grinding it i learnt to weld on sheet metal and found out quick fast that i was rushing it haha either way good job brother

I’ve been looking at building myself a tray for a while but I’ve been over estimating things in my head despite building a trailer from ground up on a garage floor. Could you do a costings at the end because I’m really wanting to build one custom now. Also weldings sounding good and looking good too but when it goes to meet the vertical up weld or meets the T fillet, roll it up and over or roll over and down the piece. It’ll give a bit more pen and also look a bit nicer

Coal us a beast

Killing it, love ya work!

COAL IS A BEAST! 🔥

Every time I watch a video on coal it makes me wanna raptor line my gq wagon even more

Coals a beast! Ps I’m sure plenty of girls like ourselves are watching this too not just da boiz 😂

Dime bags baby dime bags mintincle dime bags. Not ball bags like the first lot of welds 😉

Those welders literally have a chart inside the cover telling you what your settings should be, and they're generally fairly close to the money.... Good starting point at the least!

A custom plate would improve the look so much, or even just a black pair of plates
