    Gents,

    The tray is apparently 2200 long (I haven't measured it) so 200mm shorter than standard.

    The chassis is standard length, so I'd guess that as the cab extension is about 300mm, then there is about 100mm more overhang than a standard ute.

    I'll take some pictures of the rear end next time home (I'm working FIFO) and post.

    The overhang doesn't seem excessive and the departure angle should be adequate for the sort of four wheeling that I do. Nothing hardcore, but lots of beach work to get to fishing spots, boat launching duties and occasional touring.

    I've just notice that the water tank behind the rear wheel on the driver's side could hang up and affect the departure angle. Will have to have a look at this and consider installing a poly tank either tucked up under or on the tray. I have one stashed in the shed, so should be a cheap fix.

    Cheers

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
