Post subject:  Trayback into a tipper
Hi
Toying with the idea of adding a hydraulic tipper function to my tray back .. have a rural block so would be handy for fire wood / moving dirt around etc etc. Probably build a new tray but would like to retain the ability to put the canopy back on so there will be a bit of fiddling to fit the front shape of the canopy. I'm guessing will have to strengthen the supports for the tray .. particularly where the tray pivots on the chassis and around the area where ram is attached to the chassis.

Any other concerns / things to consider???

I know 2 people that added this system to their Land Cruisers..

Could be an option?

Hey Prickle,

another option that might be simpler for you is a jacking bag system.
much lighter and easier to hook up than conventional hydraulics.

Years ago a mate of mine had a Landcruiser tray-back tipper - it used a bypass valve on the exhaust to inflate a big bag which was sandwiched between 2 x sheets of plywood.

1 sheet of ply was secured to the chassis rails, the other sheet of ply underneath the tray.

I am pretty sure the bag was the type sold for jacking up 4wd's.

It was a little slower than a hydraulic system - and the only moving part was the manually operated bypass valve on the exhaust.

don't forget - the heavier your tray and it's lifting mechanism - the less load you can carry.
