Why do we compete at ute show and shines?

So why do we compete at ute shows? It all began with the white knight the crew cab Rodeo.  Trying to sell this vehicle I detailed the vehicle and placed it in the Nissan Patrol Club Show and Shine winning 3rd place.  Then the ute attended Beaudesert 07, Beenliegh 07 and Kilcoy 07 with no results.  Evidently the ute was sold and allowed for latest project called the "Crew Cav"


There is a lot of extra effort that goes into ute shows. For example getting the ute onto the timber blocks is all ways a challenge.  It is easy to fall off and have a block of timber go into your suspension. Fitting the "Crew Cav" plates is all part of the theme.  Then basically the ute gets a quick polish with Formula 1 car cleaning product.  It is a waterless wax that works great on the paint work and not as good on the glass.


We have taken the Caterpillar theme forward with two over sized Cat flags. To add to this effect the population of tigers, lions and other wild cats have exploded.  Each op shop we visit we pick up a new character.  King Paddle Pop Lion aka Paddles has been taken to every show since his adoption for Laidley Ute Show.  He takes pride and place in the rear seat.  Sometimes Bundy (the bear) drives him around with the husky on the back.

With a brand new tray with the paint still drying the Beaudesert Ute show was the turning point in Crew Cav's

career as it took out best 4x4 & finally beating Tom's 2008 State Champion Polished White Crusier, then took out 3rd in peoples choice.  Again bundy and Paddles made an appearance by hanging outside of the windows and waving to the crowd.

Kilcoy Ute Muster 2008. 

After sucess at Beaudesert the crew visitied the lovely town of Kilcoy. A good for the Brewers Droop Ute Club with 4 out of 5 members taking away a memento.


Wining the best tray is a great achievement for Dale at 2d extreme fabrications. The tray had fresh scratches from having a play in the mountains around home.
