thats got to be one of the nicest datto 1200 utes ive scene ,, ive actualy got it as my computer background lol,, one day myne will be like that..

the carpet was very flexible and there was no need to mould it. i just used contact cement or "Quick Grip" as it may be known, to hold it down.

Very smooth.

Nice stance too.

lovin your ute mate!! very very nice it will be smicko wen done. reckon its one of the nicest utes ive seen. not too over smoothed ie. tailgate still works comin up a treat be sure to keep us posted with the 'progress'.

so did u heat the carpet up when u moulded it?

what type of glue did u use?

okk....
The latch system fo the tailgate is out of a hilux, to make this system work i have mounted the hilux bits in my tailgate and have two electric soliniods pulling and pushing them open and closed, i have a two way momentry switch mouned in the tray and you just push it to release and push it again to lock it.

The carpet is just marine carpet that i bought from bunnings warehouse. the carpet is glued onto a false plywood floor, which i lift out wen i chuck my bike in the back so i dont get it dirty. all up the false floor cost me $70.00, the carpet was $50.00 and the glue $20.00. I got the ply for free but this would of course add to the cost.

Thanks again guys, ill keep you updated.
