GU Patrol Comp Series Tray & Canopy Package
Built for the Bush, not the Brochure.
Our GU Comp Series Tray is a purpose-built steel tray designed specifically for GU Patrols tackling Australia’s harshest terrain. Constructed from 50mm heavy-wall steel tube and fitted with a 4mm 6082-T6 aluminium tread plate floor, this tray is engineered for strength, simplicity, and serious off-road work — not lightweight touring.
Every unit is designed, fabricated, and finished in-house at our Somerville workshop using CNC-formed tube and industrial-grade 2K paint. The result is a rock-solid platform ready for recovery gear, comp builds, and daily punishment on rough tracks.

Recommended for:
– Rock crawling & competition-style 4WD builds
– Harsh environments (e.g. high-clearance tracks, recovery zones)
– Drivers who prioritise strength and simplicity
Not Ideal For:
– Touring-focused builds needing maximum storage
– Weight-sensitive or GVM-limited setups
