Thanks mate. Good feedback on the spot welds. Removing the centre sheet was the trickiest part of the install.

Thanks! Always fun doing content with Rohan - stay tuned as we have a few things coming up ☺️

Hi James. Cheers for feedback - will keep that in mind for the next one. I put up a post on KZfaq and on my Facebook page which includes some finished images if you want to have a look. Will also do a review whilst using on an upcoming trip

Certainly handy to have the gear I need easily accessible 👍

Sounds handy to have 👍

Perth is a small world!

Likewise!

Thanks Ray 👌

Fair enough mate. Don’t mind a good stuffed mushroom 😋

Thanks mate. Bunnings and 3 of their 91cm x 91cm rubber mats ($75 for 3 when I purchased) They clip together and just trip as you need 👍 Alternatively search EBay for some mats designed for the Ranger tray but will be more expensive

Cheers for feedback 👍 Just an epoxy paint. Don’t believe there’s any rust - more likely some dust build up from previous trips.

Thanks Daniel. I’m sure there’s a way you could retrofit the tub liner onto the lid if you wanted to conceal

Haha. Took a bit longer than we anticipated but worth it. Loving this little mod. Thanks for all your help!

Moved over to the dark side 😉

@@Perth4WDandCamping I was so close to selling my PS about October last year haha, the new ranger is deffo what I'd get too

Loved my PS but the Ranger is a lovely ride

Yeah hahaha I hope they have one for rams and chevys to ... So they can have snacks while waiting for a Toyota to pull them

You supplying the snacks? 😋

Thanks mate for feedback. Yes will cover off in upcoming vid and if you’re interested have included a bit more info on Facebook. I’ve used it to stand and sit on without any issues. Also good re dragging stuff over it. It will scratch however, therefore I might stick some marine carpet onto it in the future

Haha what are the chances!

Hi Christopher. I’d suggest dropping Hurracan Fabrication a message. They are normally pretty quick in responding.

Give yourself a day, but you could easily do it in an afternoon. The cutting is the bit you want to slow down for - lay out the template, go slow and take your time. The other main bit is the release rods and make sure the wiring is out the way and not getting pressed down but the storage unit. Other than that it’s pretty straight forward. The unit just drops straight in once you’ve done the above.

Thanks David. We gave it a thorough wash after so all good. Good tip to throw a sheet over the car if doing it yourself at home. My car also has a full PPF protection so none of the panels were exposed 👍

G’day. Interested to know why it wasn’t for you?

@@Perth4WDandCamping OK, where do I start. I think it's a good system if you just want to tour around Australia and not do any hardcore 4WDing. All the screws constantly came loose and all the carpets peeled off in the interior. Dust was a big issue when there are multiple gaps due to corrugation (peninsula development Rd) on the road and the screws coming loose. Dust entered the tailgate locking mechanism jamming it which prevented me from opening it and I couldn’t get it open to access my recovery gear which I store in there. I had to get a hose (at Bramwell station) lift the tailgate handle and squirt as much water in there to loosen everything off. Water crossings were a problem too. After crossing the Nolan Brook, I had to get out all my recovery gear and dry them out. It really needs to be dust and water tight. I don't store anything in the back of it now and it's just constantly locked because I don't use it. After watching your video it appears that it's an upgrade to what I've got and it could possibly stop dust and water from getting in there but I'm not willing to take the risk again with my next Gen Raptor. Well, that's my experience. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear about your experience. Appears there have been enhancements on the new unit from your response. It’s now held into place with pop rivets rather than self tapping screws so don’t expect it to come loose. The interior seems very robust and mine has been in the rain and on dusty roads since installing and the seals seem good. The standard tailgate was not sealed either (we could see this when we opened it up during the install) so I can’t see how it would be much different with the unit in compared to the standard tailgate. Sounds like you had a very unfortunate experience. Might be worth passing this onto the Huracan Fab team directly if you haven’t already. Ive been very impressed with the quality of all the parts when we installed.

A local fabricator would be able to install easily for those not wanting to do themselves. Reality is many aftermarket mods require some cutting etc.

@@Perth4WDandCamping true my man it’s just the truck isn’t been in a month of use and drilling and spray paint to avoid rust isn’t a good idea

It’s not for everyone mate. You can tell I see the value for my situation as since I purchased the car in Sep 22, finding a practical solution to access and store my recovery gear has been a challenge. This really has solved that issue for me.

@@Perth4WDandCamping true , I like the video it’s good

Not too bad if you take your time, but I suspect many people will just pay for a professional to install.

Mods aren’t for everyone. Personally I love the practicality having all my recovery gear so accessible on trips

Fits my recovery gear so happy with that. Great use of otherwise wasted space. Seals up well. Just been on a trip on dusty roads and rain. All clean inside the unit 👍

All perspective isn’t it. I’ve been bogged enough times to see the value in having easy access to my recovery gear so for me there’s much gained here, but understand it’s not for everyone

The top seal is good. I’m yet to find any water in the box - however I wouldn’t be going underwater with it 😀

@@Perth4WDandCamping so no go for river crossing

@@jackmarsh7328 I mean the standard tailgate is not watertight either. Most people would just put in recovery gear in the storage box which wouldn’t matter if gets wet in the unlikely event you get water in during a river crossing
