The Autospec Summit Series headboard sits at the front of the tray between the tray and the rear of the cab. It provides rear cab protection from load movement, serves as a mounting point for lighting and accessories and in water tank configurations provides integrated fresh water storage for camping and remote touring applications. We stock four headboard configurations at our Cardiff workshop in Newcastle.
The standard aluminium headboard in matte black suits a range of ute tray platforms and provides rear cab protection and accessory mounting capability.
The 79 Series aluminium headboard is designed specifically for the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series platform. The 79 Series cab profile and mounting dimensions require a headboard engineered specifically for that application rather than a universal fit headboard.
The standard aluminium headboard with 32L integrated water tank provides 32 litres of on-board fresh water storage built into the headboard structure. This suits weekend and short-duration touring where water self-sufficiency for cooking, washing and drinking is required without the weight and space of a separate tank.
The 79 Series headboard with 44L integrated water tank is designed specifically for the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series and provides 44 litres of on-board water storage for extended touring and remote area travel where greater water self-sufficiency is required.
Every Autospec 4×4 Summit Series tray uses heavy duty aluminium construction throughout the frame, floor and side rails. Aluminium delivers a significantly lighter tray than a steel alternative of the same size while resisting corrosion in the coastal salt air conditions around Newcastle, Port Stephens and Nelson Bay.
The standard Summit Series tray includes a built-in trundle drawer beneath the tray floor at the rear of the platform. The trundle drawer provides enclosed lockable storage for tools, recovery gear and equipment without taking up any usable flat tray space above. Integrated tie-down points sit across the tray surface accepting standard ratchet straps and cam buckle straps at multiple positions across the full tray length. Every tray and headboard comes in matte black powder coat finish integrating consistently across the full Summit Series build system including canopies, undertray toolboxes and tray sides for a clean factory-finish look across the complete build.
The most popular combination we fit at our Cardiff workshop in Newcastle is the complete Autospec tray and canopy package where the Summit Series tray pairs with a Summit Series canopy and headboard as a single integrated system. This complete summit trays and canopies build gives you a fully enclosed lockable cargo space on a flat aluminium tray platform with roof rail capacity for additional accessories.
