ENGINEERING FIRST

Every Step Above tray starts with a simple philosophy: over-engineer, then over-build.

We take advanced structural logic and CAD-accurate fabrication methods normally used for demanding, high-reliability applications and bring that level of engineering into everyday 4x4 builds.

A key part of this approach is our unique full-length subframe, which runs the entire chassis to eliminate flex, increase rigidity, and create a far stronger foundation than traditional trays.

LIGHTWEIGHT ALLOY, HEAVY-DUTY PERFORMANCE

Our trays are built from precision-cut, high-grade alloy, chosen not just to reduce weight, but to maximise strength where it matters.

The result is a tray that’s significantly lighter than traditional builds, improving payload, reducing stress on the vehicle, and delivering better on-road and off-road performance.


By pairing lightweight materials with reinforced structural design, you get the best of both worlds:

easy to handle, strong enough to trust, and engineered to last.

READY FOR ADVENTURE. RELIABLE FOR WORK. RIGHT FOR YOUR UTE

Whether you’re building a touring rig, a dedicated 4x4 build or a hard-working tradie setup, every Step Above tray is ready to be tailored to how you use your vehicle.

With clean mounting surfaces and smart tie-down points, it’s built to work seamlessly with accessories like our trundle drawer, underbody toolboxes, mudguards and provision for an underbody 70L water tank so you can build a setup that’s genuinely practical, not just pretty.

STEP ABOVE OFF-ROAD

Hit us up for custom trays, canopies, full fit-outs, wheels, suspension or anything 4x4.

Tell us your vehicle, what you’re chasing, and we’ll sort the rest

Who We Are

Step Above 4x4 was built on a simple idea — make gear that outperforms the adventure.

What started as a tiny Gold Coast shed operation has grown into a brand trusted by everyday tourers, weekend warriors and serious builders across Australia and New Zealand.


We design products that combine smart engineering with real-world practicality.

From rooftop tents and freestanding awnings to our new over-engineered alloy trays and canopies, every product is built with purpose, precision, and the same standard we expect on our own vehicles.


No shortcuts. No flimsy hardware. No “good enough.”

Just gear that goes the distance — and looks damn good doing it.
