A little extra storage goes a long way!

This well-loved galvinised Silverback Ute Tray has spent years in the FNQ elements, while the tray might be looking a little more red than it used to, it’s still getting the job done as well as it did on day 1.

Rather than replacing the existing setup, we added a 1/3 canopy with two pull-out drawers and shelf storage, creating a dedicated space to keep gear organised, easily accessible and protected from the red dirt.

A simple addition that makes a big difference.
