At some point in the future, hopefully later this year, i want to build a steel tray to replace the tub.
If that doesn't leave enough space for the spare tyre, is it practical to chuck it on the roof rack?
You would have looked under a tray obviously... there is a lot of room under there. I've just had a steel tray installed on my triton and looking at it there is a lot of room to spare. Maybe try to get an idea of just how much room you will need for all your extras, and are the extras all needed??
The mob that made mine have just made a new under-tray slide that is now 170mm tall and all they will do is lift the tray 10mm to fit it in. Have you thought about mounting some of the extras into a tray slide?? easy to fit things into, easy to access!, keeps things clean, easy for maintenance ?
As for putting your spare on a roof rack......weigh it up! literally! that is a lot of weight to carry up high, and the hassle of getting up and down.
