Trays: Trays, also known as ute trays or flatbeds, replace the traditional tub on the back of a 4×4. They provide a flat, open space for transporting various items. Here’s why they’re useful:

1. Versatile Storage: Trays offer a large, flat surface that can be used to carry a wide range of loads, from tools and equipment to larger items like furniture or building materials.
2. Easy Access: The open design makes it easy to load and unload items, making them ideal for tradespeople or anyone who needs to transport bulky goods regularly.
3. Customisable: Trays can be customised with tie-down points, toolboxes, and other accessories to suit your specific needs, enhancing their functionality.

Canopies: Canopies are enclosures fitted over the tray or tub of a 4×4, creating a secure and covered storage area. Here’s why they’re important:

1. Weather Protection: Canopies protect your cargo from the elements, keeping it dry and secure from rain, sun, and wind.
2. Security: They provide a lockable space to keep your belongings safe from theft, making them ideal for storing valuable tools or equipment.
3. Additional Storage: Canopies often come with built-in storage solutions like shelves, drawers, and compartments, helping you organise your gear more effectively.
4. Enhanced Utility: With a canopy, you can convert your 4×4 into a mini mobile workshop or camper, making it perfect for both work and leisure activities.
