The UTE or Coupe Utility came about in 1933 when an Australian farmers wife from Gippsland, Victoria wrote to Ford Australia and asked if they would design a vehicle that could take her to Church on Sunday and the pigs to market on Monday. Ford Australia liked the idea and handed the project to designer Lew Bandt. He removed the back of a coupe and formed a well back tray in its place. The new Ford UTE went into production in 1934 and the legend of the great Aussie UTE began. Your pronunciation of UTE is correct.

I would add a roll bar to this. There's barely any structure left in that rear (of the cabin). This would also serve to tie everything together with the right amount of tabs added to it. Can be retrofitted even if the car's done.

Rather than sawing big holes into their freshly rived aluminum, in order to properly install a structural roll bar, I would probably go with some underbody stitch welding of the seams and subframe connectors. I might have also used some panel bond on the riveted parts, but that's water under the bridge...
@resistanceisfutile
@resistanceisfutile 2 жыл бұрын
The location between the cab and the wheel wells isn't all that usable anyway, and adding a roll bar there would certainly add some structure that is missing. One possible place to triangulate a roll bar would be to tie into the tops of the rear shock mounts. While you're in there, you could also upgrade the shocks and if you add airbags inside the springs, it would make the ute's bed much more usable for hauling stuff. This would also be a good time to add a receiver hitch. What's a truck that can't tow?

I love how Jarrod is just like a kid on Christmas, and in the previous videos you can really see how much he truly cares about this vehicle, I felt so bad for him. I'm glad y'all were able to bring it back and make into something even more special :-)

That looks freaking awesome. I have a genuine question, though. How do you get to the tops of the rear shocks when they need replaced? Just cut an access door?

What an awesome build. Love the MCM shirt. Payload calculations the south African way. Carry on adding weight until the tyres are smoking on the inside of the wheel wells or the rear end is dragging on the road that's max load 😂

Building a Ute without making any reference to Australia is indeed a questionable choice. X)

The unobservant making comments about references is a questionable choice. Check out Jack's shirt in the closing scene.

What a cool conversion to rehab your damaged Charger! I do wonder about structural strength after you chopped out so much sheet metal. Can you weld in subframe connectors?
@MrTheHillfolk
@MrTheHillfolk 2 жыл бұрын
The aluminum bed that's put back in brings the strength back. Best to install it with 3m panelbond though , it'll be really solid. I'd wager my Mk4 chassis is stiffer now than when it had a roof. You can jack up a front wheel ,go to the back and teeter it back and forth on the jack.
