Is it too late to change it? I think you should double up on the tray hoop! and have the ladder steps between the double tray hoops up the sides. Or plate with big round holes drilled out between them

looks rough as guts! but hey if thats what the zook is designed for then go for it!

With regards to the radiator, you will find at slower 4wd speeds it'll probably work really well but out on the highway it will probably run a bit warmer. I've found this with my tailgate mounted rad in my soft top.

HOLY SHACKLE REVERSAL BATMAN!!! :shocked:

and its road registered!

are you going to have any issues with approach angle with that shackle reversal?

Cut your floor out and make an air scoop from under the car. Have it run up, then forward towards the cab, then double back on itself to the radiator. This will slow rocks and dirt before it reaches the radiator. :wink:

OR, i think this is just getting sexier!! A bit of a diagonal on it...

edit, did a dodgy photoshop thing, i know it's dodgy lookin, but you get the idea...

so this car is taking ages to get done and needs finishing so a mate and i took to it with some 40 shs. you all prolly think square is rough personally i like it. but heres some pics of what we did few bits to add here and there but mostly all there. there is going to be a bar run down drom the cab rail to the sliders and a bit that runs down the side of the grill and ties into the front bar.

Gives a great starting point cause then you can always change it later. You making a windjammer to feed that radiator enough cool air???

yeah we may end up doing something to feed it more air. it is huge tho its an au falcon one with twin thermos between it and the cab so will suck it and see.

I think it'd be easy enough to remove the rear diagonal and put another tray hoop on. and 45 the top corners, here's my noob cad drawing...might make it look a little tougher?

I was thinking of some vents through the rear quarter panels...
