We’re attempting to build the Ultimate in ute trays for the new Amarok Ultimate V6 TDI550.

This is going to be an epic challenge in both design, fabrication and execution by packing as many accessories under a staunch, stumpy tray, sitting atop a roided up modern 4wd. Not only will it look good but be very functional underneath as well.

This build was a first of its kind in many ways for us. The challenges of integrating so much electronics into an already over-engineered German designed vehicle was indeed a challenge.

Now luckily for me, the owner has documented the build from the very beginning on his own Instagram with a detailed description to every photo. See his page here: https://www.instagram.com/vw_the_ultimate_wolf/

For an idea on how we tackled this build, I suggest starting from the bottom image and work your way up!
Enjoy..
