I'm thinking some sort of  turntable with lock down hinges...

Me too and everyday could be a record day.

Hi, I have a tray inside my navara which I love because I can pull it way out with the reel on and point it it anywhere and then simply push the tray back.  One problem I have is the tank has to be raised of the truck bed to allow the tray to travel under.  For some reason I find this annoying, I don't know why.
I'm going to change the tank soon and I'm debating if I should take the tray out.  Do you think  I should?  What puts me off a little is the what to do with the reel.  I like the reel to sit on the dropped tailgate, but how do I stop it falling off and also move it to new directions. Im not permanently fixing it to the tailgate because the weight will be too much to lift.  any help

Just as an aside;

Have you had any chassis issues with your Navara and are you aware of the freebies that Nissan are chucking around at the moment ?

This is what I had made, I work with the tailgate up, as mentioned the tailgate is heavy so opening and shutting that all day wouldnt have been my thing. I have also upgraded reel to a PowerUp one to, its a dream to work out of, lift up the lid and away to go. If works close I leave the lid open and drive round like that.

Thanks for the pics. Something I don't understand is how do you push the reel back into the cab. Does the reel pivot up and slide down the channel? Also, would you recommend a hose guide bolted down on the tailgate. Cheers

LWC - that looks a nice set up. What size tank is it?

This is my set up. The reel sits on a wooden frame that slots down either side of the tailgate so it wont move while your reeling in and out. To move it back lift slightly and slide back. has worked for me for the past 5 years. not the best pic but all i had on the computer that was the right size to upload.

I think this might work for me. How does the board fix onto the tailgate? Any chance you can post pic of the fitting.  Also, how do find working with the hose guide?
