VW AMAROK TUB REMOVAL! 🗑️

With the Amarok up and running and already proving to be a very capable off roader at Parkwood, it's time to make a start on modifications!
First step for Danny and Rob is stripping the old rusty and battered tub from the back and fitting a fresh set of Rouge Alloys wrapped in 34.4" Nankang Conqueror M/T's!!
Meanwhile, in the background, Harry has been knocking up a design for a tray back to replace the old tub!

I can already imagine this looking like something you’d see in the Australian outback when it’s done!

[@DarksideDevelopments]

That's the plan!

[@donaldvanrensburg7959]

Yup I have a 2012 black one ,and this looks about RAIGHT to me 😂😅

Good project! Keep up the uploads!

[@christopherharding6222]

Tray back is, much more usable space. Way better than tub.

[@Robdutton91]

And it looks way better

[@ksaandor]

Nice measuring unit: full fist and a bit🌚😂

[@joaco_crous]

I love this videos, you modify cars that are actually in my country. It´s boring ALWAYS seeing videos of people modifying cars that doesnt exist here in Argentina.

[@matiasbosshardt8888]

Veo que no soy el único que ve a estos manijas. Es increíble todo lo que tienen en accesorios para potenciar y offroad para la Amarok cuando la hacen acá jajaja y nosotros? Bueno jajajajaja

[@DanSargeant-420]

I think a winch would be good and probably a snorkel, can't wait to see what it turns out like 👍👌

[@ALL_4_WHEELS]

Can’t wait to see it out with us when your ready‼️ got some mega lanes lined up🤘🤘👍

[@Boatlife1964]

stick another rear axle on it and make it 6 wheel drive!

[@alexweller3582]

Snorkel kit and straightpipe 💪🏽

[@paulworthington4661]

I've been waiting for this bulld 😅

[@TABRO284]

I will be watching videos on this.

[@RTC057]

Please get a mic for Rob so we can catch his pearls of wisdom too. I just made up Rob's word's in my head and they were pretty explicit, something about mud and female wrestlers 😀. Interesting content though. Thanks

[@whatsup8464]

I was eatin crunchy nut cornflakes so I cudn hear a thing anyway!!😂

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We've got new mics so hopefully in future, if remembered, he will have a mic!

[@alaindunkerque59]

Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Sacré travail ⚒ 😉

[@reeceandrewrh]

Cut the front bumper under the head lights and run a bar around then plating down to skid plates and Cut out the arch on the heighest arch line and put the flat arch extensions on and make up some new arch liners then itll look half like a baja truck

[@beddo657]

so glad your doing tracks! cant wait

[@esteban0611]

just body lift 45mm and lift kit... awsome project. Greating from panama

[@rikoshea765]

Thank you. Waited a long time for this follow up i hope it will be quicker next time. A simpler more affordable option with a more sensible tyre choice for owners would be interesting

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Things take time and we have a busy schedule

[@donaldvanrensburg7959]

Side steps and a rap around bull bar withe roof spotties,flat back with two spare wheels on withe a fully pop up tent and build on kitchen,i am a AUSTRALIAN just😂😅 saying

[@Motortainment]

Too bad we can't get those over here

[@sammy_bw]

Lanoguards good stuff, as a Navara owner it’s popular in the forums

[@B16GWR]

Going to look good on those wheels! Maybe cage the back on a slope for spare wheel

[@roybamford8698]

Looks good. What about a tubular back end ?

[@davethedog007]

Yes I second this. Tubular back end with a spare bolted to it. Trim the overhang behind the rear spring mounts. Wide arches on the front, full on Pre runner style

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Would be a sweet idea, but sticking with the tray back for the rear

[@DarksideDevelopments]

@@davethedog007 VOSA / DVSA start getting funny when the chassis is modified. We want to keep this fully compliant.

[@callumstewart5662]

Put twin snorkels on it like the aussie utes

[@Robdutton91]

Can tell when you measured the articulation you’re used to adding a couple of inches onto whatever you’re measuring 🤣

[@ryanp6138]

You got it, but he says it's 5" from the hole so how big is it?

[@smcdetailing7921]

Should of done a Crafter Twin wheel real axel and 5th Wheeled it. And got a nice Camper Trailer

[@Robdutton91]

Amarok dually would be sick

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We have another V6 in the yard 👀

[@kentbird8773]

Do something interesting with the rear suspension to get some more articulation

[@romulusoverland314]

Very difficult to find decent aftermarket wheel in South Africa on the Amarok's PCD :(

[@conorpower240]

should put stacks on it

[@darrenmorgan5849]

Why not change out the rear diff for one from a v6 model with disc brakes? With all the added weight of the accessories your putting on it it would be much better and safer. Same with the front hubs and brakes being a bigger diameter than the 4cyl. The tray is a great idea, I had one on my last Amarok. Common here in Australia, and much more practical too. But don’t make it too wide; mine was almost 2m wide, but I think 1900mm is a better look with the rear mudguards slight protruding out past the sides to suit the tyres you are fitting. Then you can also won’t have any of your vision blocked by the headboard when you’re using your side mirrors. 👌

[@adriancairns34]

Hi guys, ever thought of using portal axels?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Expensive and would need a solid front axle!

[@romulusoverland314]

Awesome build. Please specify the brand of the rims? Also, what is the width and ET/offset on them?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

They are Rogue Ravage+ 17x8 et35

[@justroadtrippin4778]

Looks the part! Do you guys still have the last Amarok on the BMW wheels? Did you have any issues with the wheels or set up I have finally found a set of the same wheels and going to get them this week and fit the grabbers on! I want to put the biggest size I can without body lifts etc and think it’s pretty close!

[@DarksideDevelopments]

No issues with the setup on our Amarok, it's done well for us!

[@trainingday391]

Loved the Yeti series so looking forward to seeing the Amarok build 👍

[@matiasbosshardt8888]

Do a diff swap with the 2016+ Amaroks diff that has a locker

[@DarksideDevelopments]

This one has rear diff lock

[@GALShamsi]

I'm interested if it's doable without the bodylift, some body seam trimming required behind the front wheel 🖖

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Would need plenty of trimming in front and behind the wheel plus body lift will help with ground clearance if we go anywhere crazy

[@Matty_dunne_94]

15:40 - What's the two jeeps/trucks over by the container? Are they both Amaroks?

[@ryanp6138]

Yes, single cab that's getting a V12 TDi and a V6 we are selling.

[@frazerrennie1340]

Definitely get a massive spoiler 😂

[@baileycarmody-blythe6634]

surely push that 2 litre engine a bit i want to see how much power it can make

[@Alonsel3]

These are big game in Aus

[@DarksideDevelopments]

That's where we took our inspiration from. They look great!

[@TheRsrunner]

Don't lanoguard it. It doesn't dry and mud sticks to it and looks horrible. Go for wax oil, or just paint it.

[@Cous1nJack]

Doesn’t dry is the point.

[@malls9016]

...external roll cage....... ??

[@starnimartin914]

Think a utility bed would be good so y can take spare parts n tools for all the cars just incase work needs t be done when thas out on a track on greenlainin! 🤔

[@avit24]

Nice build there, shame no low range tho..

[@dannymellor8141]

This has low range and diff locks

[@einfelder8262]

@@dannymellor8141 It will need to run in low range all the time to turn those tyres.......

[@jooceypaleork2703]

Lift it higher do a 6 inch suspension lift

[@carlwicks2088]

"Mental" :P

[@andrevanderwalt2515]

How is the front diff lock research going?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Slowly but still happening 👍

[@andrevanderwalt2515]

@@DarksideDevelopments looking forward to that!

[@einfelder8262]

What is the plan for diff ratio change? Those monster tyres will enable you to break diffs, axles, and CVs.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Have you broken a diff, axle or CV on an Amarok? CV maybe but I would be very surprised if axle or diff are destroyed. There are plenty of guys running 35" + Tyres on V6's and they don't seem to be having axle or diff issues (same axles and diffs in the 2.0L trucks) Worst case we do break one, we'll find a fix. All part of the fun! Front locker will probably be the deciding factor especially with Danny's driving haha

[@luigiluigi9568]

👍👏

[@GarethL2008]

Raptor it in pink

[@jonnywilson6932]

👍🏼🛠🚙

[@TrotterDel]

Truck camper?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Might go as far as a tent box if we have the space for it
