Rear box for Navara

[ScottF]

After getting what I felt was an absurd quote for a non-tipping W1800xL1800xH1400 alloy-framed GRP chip box for my 2010 Navara I was wondering if anyone could suggest a supplier. I'm banging the hell out of the standard tub and thought a lockable box would be good for occasional chip/log carrying as well as for carrying the plants, tools, bulk compost etc for our landscaping work.

 

I'm after a simple box with a GRP sides and top, half-dropside below and twin barn doors to chip into above. Ideally it should have either a fixed ladder rack or the means to mount one.

 

Advice gratefully received. We're North Wales-based but I'd be willing to travel to the right supplier.

Scott, speak to Ed. Our friend Peter Haine makes all sorts of backs for pickups.

[ScottF]

Cheers. I tried to reach Peter by email a couple of times. I gather tthat he's flat-out on tree works.

 

I thought that the £6000 quote I got for a back as described above was a bit steep...

[PhilBeech]

Eeek! okay, fair one! I don't doubt it would be worth every penny though.

be interested as well for my navara d22 ladder rack would be a bonus as the hook on the truck are usless to the extreme and be good to lock tools up in a box in back

Eeek! okay, fair one! I don't doubt it would be worth every penny though.

 

No, the £6k I was quoted was from the original supplier for the GRP box. I thought it was a bit high since you can buy a whole brand new Navara for £14,500.

 

I'll chase Mr Protipper again.

thats mad money, if its not a tipper someone with a welder can rattle you up a frame in angle then just sheet it yourself.

My local steel fabricator did this for me and it tips.

How long's the bed on your king cab mate? looks good. I'm guessing it didn't cost you 6k?

[heartwood tree tech]

It's 1900mm long and yes a lot cheaper.
