    Default Decking out ute/truck

    I brought a dyna truck cause my nissan decided to blow up the gear box. Ive been mucking around with it as it didnt have a towbar and touch wood should have that sorted tomorrow but on the other side ive noticed a bit of freedom not having a trailer being dragged behind me so i am thinking of decking it so i can drop the trailer for the smaller jobs where rideon isnt needed. Ive half built a box for the mowers but trying to work out where to put snippers and blower plus fuel jerrys with still having space for rubbish. Any ideas and or photos of what others have would be greatly appreciated.

    I have room for my blower in the mower box, and snipper rack and all the often used stuff has to go along the gutter side. I am going to get a rear draw for under my tray, and I am making up some fuel container holders to also get bolted up behind the rear wheel space. My hedgy holder is under my trimmer rack. No pics yet sorry.
    I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather.....not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car!!!

    His is similar to mine. Mine is a dual cab toyota Dyna mines petrol would have prefered to have gotten a diesel but you cant be to much of a chooser when you have a low budget and getting something cheap.

    You know what ? One of those dual cabs would be absolutely perfect for me. I have a Ford Trader single cab which I am currently fixing up for road worthy but one of those dual cabs would be the bees knees. That's what I should get. How does the cost of rego compare to a 4x4 dual cab ute ?
