Default HD Steel Trays for Toyota Utes - Any Ideas ?

I have secured two landcruiser utes for site and now the engineering company that are making the trays to be welded on is going to be 6 weeks to have installed.. anyone used a company or work for a company that may be faster on turnaround at all ?

Drama being I am then delayed in sending my utes out to the field by minimum 6-8 weeks - Sad panda !

Any Ideas would be appreciated, im having a blonde moment ....

Carton of beer / bottle of something for any WINNING suggestions that help out !

Well T&L have a 6 week, so do Unicorn,
I can have them driven to Bunbury for 1 Week turnaround,but looks messy if I can get them done in Perth would make it easier !

Will then have to drive one of them to and From home for a few weeks to clock up the K's so no Wrxy for me for a few weeks, ( good time for a few things to get done to it i think ! )

I have at least one tray at unicorns at all times sitting there for me. Reason being is we dont just get the standard white ones. I find them to be very good but a 6 week wait is a bit rude.

If you are really stuck try Kelvin at Transquip Engineering on Mars st in Welshpool. He does the majority of our truck bodies and while he is not cheap he does do great work. I dont know if he will do ute trays for you but probably worth a shot if you are in a bind.

We had the same issue with our suppliers for our mine spec utes. We have started using Tom's TowBars in Wangara area 9409 6878 - they have been doing mostly Alloy trays up until now, but i'm told they have started supplying Steel trays as well.. might be worth a call?
