Allybacks tub???

[TheHungrySquirrel]

Does anybody have any thoughts on the ally backs on eBay?

 

Need to replace my tub on my isuzu but can't stretch to a custom tipper.

These are £1800 with a fitting kit and means I can do it myself.

I had a look at them for my l200. They look solid and professional in my opinion. I was hoping there was an option to have higher sides/greedy boards but no and they seemed hard to modify to enable that. In the end I didn't think I could justify the cost.

 

If you are going to have the truck 5 years I think they'd be worthwhile.

 

The guys that import them were very helpful and quick replying to emails. I'd recommend them on that basis.

I found it weird there's no high side option.

Hoping to be able to make some full height ones if possible.

Exactly. I thought there would be a caged or high side option as lots of people ask for them. The frames are tubular so i felt too hard to me to modify neatly myself.

Weirdly the price (£1500 plus VAT) was the same for the double, single and king cab.

Yep when I called asking for a 5ft they wanted me to buy a 5ft6 instead??

 

Hoping somebody may have one fitted.

Have a look on the aussie off road forums. Bound to be more people on there with them.

I bought my pickup from Harfords 4x4 and he was importing these, think they were on the website. Nice bloke to deal with too.

Why not do it yourself?

Its not too difficult, get a tipper from a breakers (transit) cut it down and have it welded.

Build your own ally back, materials from Aalco or Service metals, really easy to work with.

Did mine for under £1k

Thats ok if you have the gear and 'know how' to do it. Respect to people who do.
