    I can't help, but I am intrigued as to why you would want to go the expense of doing that. I'll be first to admit that the pics I seen of Patrols with ute tubs on them do look nice. Very nice. But I would suspect on a cost basis compared to having a rear tray it would be pretty high & less versatile. Regardless though , if you do it & put pics up on here of it , I'll be one who's thinking "ooh that a nice looking vehicle, wish they'd sold them here"

    Wasn't someone on here looking into importing some ute tubs? @MB wasn't you, by any chance?
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    I recall seing it here as well. IIRC the lad was importing them from South Africa?

    He called them something funny like afgan tub or the likes.
