Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Tray | Tong Metal
Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Tray Build
This Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series tray build features a Tong Metal Australian-made aluminium ute tray, designed and manufactured in-house at our Brisbane workshop.
Built for one of Australia’s toughest 4WD platforms, the tray provides a strong and practical foundation for work, remote touring and everyday use while keeping unnecessary weight down through its marine-grade aluminium construction.
With the V8 LandCruiser 79 Series now discontinued, these final V8 models also mark the end of an era for one of Australia’s most recognised work and touring utes.
Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Tray Build Features
Designed around the way the 79 Series is commonly used, the tray provides plenty of scope for practical storage and touring equipment underneath and on top of the tray.
Depending on the setup, the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series tray can be configured with under-tray toolboxes, trundle drawers, water tanks, ladder racks and other storage options to make better use of the available space.
The tray itself is manufactured from marine-grade aluminium at our Brisbane workshop, providing a strong and corrosion-resistant platform suited to demanding work and 4WD conditions.
Why Aluminium for a LandCruiser 79 Series Tray?
For a vehicle commonly used for work, towing and remote touring, tray weight and durability both matter. Our Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series tray is manufactured from marine-grade aluminium, providing a strong platform.
Aluminium is also naturally corrosion resistant, making it well suited to touring conditions where the ute may regularly encounter dust, mud, rain and coastal environments. The tray can then be configured around the vehicle’s intended use, with options such as under-tray storage, water tanks, trundle drawers, canopies and camper setups.
This gives the 79 Series a practical base that can continue to evolve as the owner’s work or touring requirements change.
Build Your LandCruiser 79 Series Setup
The tray can also form the base of a complete work or touring setup.
For tradies and work vehicles, it can be paired with our aluminium toolbox package or an aluminium canopy to provide secure storage for tools and equipment.
For 4WD touring and camping, the same tray can be paired with a Tong Metal slide-on camper, creating a complete tray and camper system with additional storage available underneath.
This allows the LandCruiser to be built around how it is actually used, whether that means everyday work, remote touring, camping or a combination of all three.
A tough LandCruiser deserves a tray built to match.

Tong Metal Information
Tong Metals were so good to work with from start to finish with my aluminium tray fabrication, can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for an easy experience with good pricing and supply timing.
Probably the best designed and constructed Canopies in Australia. Worth every dollar.
The team was very helpful and went out of their way to help identify a missing key and sent a spare free of charge.
