Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i'm a regular doorless fella :twisted: i love it. i have been pulled up over it, asked if i was drunk then told i would die if i got hit by another car (like i wouldnt in a zook with doors anywayz) from there i asked him, a senior sargent, if it was a bookable affence.... i didnt get a ticket or a ...

Right on brother, the rusty old bucket is gonna have more chance of being a TUFF TRUCK than that black RUFF TRUCK. hopes and dreams dont cut it - you pay to play. from the looks of your AUSTRALIAN SAFETY STANDARDs approved hi lift jack your rollen in it.[/quote] some one needs to get off the drugs ...

thanks a heap

i pulled the little hose and clip off the radiator overflow bottle on my spare zook. i found the hose and clip fit perfectly. i ran it up to the bottom of the shifter boot and cut a small hode and ran it into the cab. works a treat- no smells or noises, even after being on its roof a few times.

i have a bit of a tech question
is there any calculation to use to get a trailing arm length for the four/three link? or is it what ever i come up with...

can anyone tell me how long a zook seel is from wheel arch to wheel arch?
i'd measure mine but its had a fair amount of carnage aplied to it.
thanks.

grab yourself a couple of LINCON lockers from bunnings.it'll cost about $10 in welding rods if you fill em up good. bang for your buck you cant beat em.

i rate your diff KARNAGE i run welded front and rear and they didnt even notice on rego- and my pink slip guy is a picky pain in the bum.

thats odd cause no matter what psi i run they are dead silent- same for old bud down the road. when i had M/T's it was a completely different story.
win some you loose some.

as captain carnage said i run those nangkang mudstars cause i'm cheap... i wont deni it:D. i love em and i'm not goin back to the big names, they are hell tough, they grip better than any tyres i'v had and they still look new even tho i'v done about 5000k's on them, i also have a welded rear and ...

Why bother? IMHO It defeats the whole purpose of a Suzuki. Without the lightness of Suzuki parts all you end up with is is an underpowered car with no wheelbase with two anchors underneath it. Some guy with 31's on suzuki diffs will drive all over you - you will add heaps of weight, loose available ...

with reguards to the engine swap ask an engineer what mods have to be done to the car and what engines he will pass- bare in mind that every engineer is different :bad-words: eg; one engineer may let you put in a big block chev(not really, example only) and another engineer may tell you a vitara ...

1.anything 5 watt. you can get them at dick smith, tandy or any good 4wd shop. 2.Nightstalkers are cheap, but effective. you can get them at Supercheap. 3. man up and weld up your diffs, they are the cheapest lockers out and as a bonus you can cancel you gym membership cause you'll grow poppie arms ...

i got NANGKANG MUDSTAR muddys for $520 for 4, new! they are gun.

i think Calmini do lift kits for vitaras.big rubber equals buggered gearing so check out a good gear set while your at it.

yeah mate, i have'nt had any problems. the only difference i noticed with ethanol fuel is the price.

drugs are bad maybe you should take some time to think about this process a little longer.

your gonna have to run35s on mq's to get the same punkin clearence it has now. zook diffs (1.3) are not bad. unless you boost up the rest of your drive line putting bigger diffs in will only cause you blow up other parts like your transfer/ gearbox.

what are you planning mod wise for the zook?

lock nuts are only good for a piss off when you get a flat in the scrub after you leave the key at home...
if someone wants your stuff enough they'll get it, dont matter what you do to your car. sad but true.

get your neighbour to buy some bling ass lights so the thievs tax them before yours....

now i understand what all the fuss is about. tooshay.

i run welded front and rear, like anything it takes a little getting used too. in reguards to having no lock, you just to hang of the wheel a little more. beats going to the gym....... i do agree it is a bit shit at first, try it, if you like it put power steering on it. i'm a sizable fella and ...

Tippy as in end over end... Swamp Donkey - I realise that, but obviously there comes a point where the vehicle can no longer handle an angle and decides it wants to roll down the hill backwards. Im not after a specific angle as I know there are to many variables just a rough idea? i'v been up on my ...

they'll be fine. its not the tire that makes you tip, its the driver that does that. drive to the conditions and you wont be visiting the flip side very often.

if you want less of the locker feel on the road put about 35 pound in the rear and they dont jump round or cherp as much.( they still do it, just not as much- and they'll pump better skids ).

as he said... i find that the a/t's are better on the road with the locker in the dry, but the cheap muddys work the treat in the wet, every one likes differnt set ups though. you win some, you loose some. i definatly agree on the crazy burnouts.

welded diffs are the best mod . no other mod can make your suzuki fell like a 900hp torana for about 2 bucks. every car i'v had has had a cig locker. respect the locker and it will respect you. most people who carry on about lockers have never had one, just heard STORYS. Man up and weld em.

i run 6.5's in my case and can drive up a vertical brick wall in third gear. i was going to buy cheaper gears but am happy to pay the little extra, dont abuse hard, only buy once. the extra control i gained is impressive when it comes to driving up and down the steep stuff.

A little forethought goes a long way though.

Tractor places actually have some cool stuff.

i guess it takes a little thought to understand sarcasm..... hmmm.
