zook ute
zook ute
has anyone made there sierra soft top i to a ute is there anythnig that you can buy to cover the back so i could put a flat top tray on i need help
I'm not knocking anyone's work but i don't think the bracing needs to be quite so sturdy. One of the best things with a zook is the light weight, where possible it's best to keep this in mind when modding your car.
Sometimes strength is needed that adds weight but sometimes strength can be added without too much additional weight.
For instance you could use lighter gauge angle for the rear wall supports bearing in mind that you are going to add additional strength with the tin back wall.
PS don't forget to wack some silicone or similar between the barcing and the wall to stop the rattles. Perhaps even use panel glue to hold the wall to the braces and just weld the edges.
Looking good by the way. And can someone build a full bodied zook, just for something different

no offense taken 
and gutless bite me
basically bro and i went with overkill as per usual but not real heavy despite the amount of bracing....
fairly thin box tube bud so shouldn't make to much difference to the rear bodywork that was there...and yes i have taken the tray into account
the panel work will be stitchwelded to the bracing so there shouldn't be too much of the rattles but will use silicone as well...
and cheers for the support but not my post guys

Have a look at lifting your fuel tank before you build your tray. Easy to do.
Mine was originally mounted through the floor (when full bodied). The bottom of the tank is now just above the bottom line of the chassis.
