This kit converts the Jetta MK4 platform into a versatile, daily-driver pickup. It is engineered to blend the refined handling of the Jetta with the utility of a flat-floored truck bed, utilizing proven components for a professional, factory-style finish.

 

Structural & Bed Assembly

 

  • Heavy-Duty Aluminum Bed Structure: A 1/8" thick aluminum bed floor and inner wall system designed to maximize cargo space while providing a flat, durable surface.

  • Reinforced Aluminum Support Braces: Precision-engineered chassis reinforcement struts that restore structural rigidity once the rear pillars and roof are removed.

  • Ford Ranger Tailgate: An authentic, heavy-duty steel tailgate sourced from the Ford Ranger platform, ensuring a rugged, functional latching system and easy replacement parts.

 

Exterior Body & Styling

 

  • Fiberglass Quarter Panels: Custom-molded outer skins that extend the Jetta’s body lines into a seamless truck profile.

  • Fiberglass Rear Window Surround: A structural cab-back transition piece that provides a finished seal and houses the rear glass.

  • Fiberglass Bumper Roll Pan: A streamlined rear valence that replaces the factory bumper for a flush, integrated "Ute" aesthetic.

  • Fiberglass Side Skirts: Custom lower body panels designed to sit below the doors, bridging the gap between the front wheel wells and the new bed for a lowered, cohesive look.

  • Chevy S10 Rear Glass: A tempered glass rear window sourced from the Chevrolet S10, offering a wide field of vision and a reliable, proven fit.

 

Electrical & Hardware

 

  • Tail Light Assembly: New rear lighting components integrated into the fiberglass quarter panels for a clean, modern appearance.

  • Plug-and-Play Electrical Components: All necessary wiring extensions and connectors to adapt your Jetta’s factory harness to the new lighting and tailgate layout.

  • Comprehensive Hardware Pack: Every specialized bolt, nut, rivet, and fastener required for the complete structural and cosmetic assembly.
