"Unique to New Zealand, the Flatdeck has an extended wheelbase that provides more load-carrying space. The deck measures 1,550mm by 1,550mm and has a carrying capacity of 300kgs. The lengthened chassis also improves weight transfer bringing more of the load weight in front of the rear wheels. The local engineering adaption called for a replacement driveshaft, but otherwise the Flatdeck is mechanically similar to the factory Jimny hardtop." Spare wheel is carried below the deck.

Yes that's what I had in mind when I made the image. My plan was to extend the chassis 400mm to allow for a 1.8 meter (6ft) bed- long enough to sleep in. In the UK, chassis modifications like that mean it would need to be inspected, which was a stumbling block for me but some other forum members are apparently familiar with the inspection process. The other issue is the load capacity- 300kg isn't enough for anything useful!

I'm sure it could carry more

but am guessing that officially anything more than 300kg would be running into GVW issues. The standard Jimny is KW 1090kg with max GVW 1420kg, so with 300kg on the flat deck that only leaves 30kg for driver and fuel :huh: I second the comments on the trailer, clever.

Whilst I was giving the Jimny a service, I knocked up a pair of roof bars. These replace the standard rails and ebay bar setup I had previously. The aim was to keep it as low to the roof as practically possible. The bars are 25x3mm box section. The end brackets are 2.5mm. I welded an old chain link on each end of the bars for hooking straps into and cut some pads out of a plastic can to protect the paintwork. Simples!
