sorry to much time with nothing to do. If this is the place you've done very well.

Lol no im doing that well! Its a private sale.

I never wanted to farm full time, a good job and nice farm combo is perfect for me.

If I come back to Aus I’ll be visiting my Australia location twin, Innisfail.

If I’m going to fly around the world I might as well go somewhere tropical and completely different from here! Also, many many many trees there. Fields and fields and fields of them.

Queensland, yuck, full of coal mines, if chasing tropical go asia, heaps cheaper.

Never seen any coal mines in the rainforest. Just bananas and cane and Cassowaries.

Throw us some pics of your ute Ant. That blue one you used to collect your quad IIRC.
Most interested in the tray and canopy, you don't get them here and I want to make one.

Gamic are the guys to make you a back tray for a pick up.

Problem is they are mega busy but they have done replacement back bodies in alloy Southern Hemisphere style.

Just remember all the materials you need are mined or drilled, you might draw the ire of people using mined products.

Unless you can use recycled steel and ally, and not worry about paint, just coat it in sump oil or the like yeah.

A real farmer coats it in cow s**t . Returns it to the earth from where it came from quicker that way.

That carpet load liner would be a soggy mess here with grass seed growing in a week or two here.

Nice tray that Ant.
Not keen on canopies in general myself, not sure if it’s just cos I’m not cool enough or not kid enough. My son has made one, bought a tig, watched YouTube and built an ally tray and well on with the lift off. Made a nice job too. Got a roof tent last week to go with it all.

I want a steel tray with ally drop sides, a firm called Beale will make me one. £2500 or so and a min of 4 months wait when I asked.
Enquired about a brand new Hilux to put it on and can’t have one of them til after Christmas. That surprised me.

Rona. That's everyone's excuse for everything these days. "Nah mate , cant get parts for it , the rona"

Expecting Wuhan Dan to announce a hard border with NSW today. f**k knows how that will play out with us here with hay and silage season a couple of months away. Getting parts, getting things fixed, getting much needed supplies. I swear to God whilst everyone down there has to mask up, someone should put a bullet in the baßtard. Wont be able to identify you........ @Steel good job for you!

I had to book in about 4 months here for tray and canopy, even then the canopy a month late, ute was 3 months custom ordered so not to bad.

I oredered manual, got an auto coz they stuffed up, got it for free, and i hate it, never again unless in chev 2500.

Alloy sides? Are u taking on and off all the time? Mine are heavy as hell.

Ant...

Kidds · Aug 1, 2020

Won't be taking the sides on and off much at all but will be dropping them a lot as being a shortarse I can't reach anything in a tub.
Had steel and ally sides in the past and ally are better imo. Prone to scratches simply because of what they are and rust is a major issue. The ally sides off my old truck are still good to go after 20 years.
