pick up bed vs flatbed

thanks for the comments guys. it was going to cost nearly 3grand to buy a new tray so for about 2/3 of that price i was able to buy all the steel and get myself a new 200amp mig welder and do it myself, i also made it an extra 8" long to give me a bit more room for fuel cans and spare tyres. i dont worry about any cold weather stuff beause in north queensland if it gets below 50 its considered a cold snap so the breezier the better round here. the crate can come off by undoing just 4 bolts and there is a centre door so the dogs can run the length of the crate or split them up. all the doors are removable by opening them then lifting them off, that way you can load the bike on, take the doors off and still hunt. some places i go it can be a good 50 miles from when you get through the front gate to the house so it helps if you can hunt from when you get on the property.
