KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

[rckly]

Hi everyone, 

I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). 

I have a couple of questions for everyone:

- Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. 

- Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. 

Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

Hi Reece,

 

I've been trying to reply to this post, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me.

On one of my morning walks, with my dogs, there is a Hi Lux tub sitting on the nature strip. I know nothing about it, except that I think the owner could well sell it, but hasn't. I will attach a photo for you, and if you are interested I will email you the address, if you PM me with it. Note that it is in Geelong, Victoria, maybe a good reason to visit. .

That's a dual-cab tub, much shorter than the single-cab.  It's also an 8th-gen Hilux tub, the OP has a 7th-gen

 

@rckly Redbook seems to show the single-cab tub was available in the 2WD low-rider spec, for the high-rider/4WD it came as king-cab or dual cab only (cab-chassis available for all shapes and sizes)
