Outer Limits 4x4 Board

or install a nikki carb - i am getting danks one for my zook - but gimmee a few weekends to fit it, and if all works ok, then i should have a stocko AISAN carb for sale...

Do it once, do it properly. Steve. 235's are already (about) 10% out on the speedo - bigger tyres will make it worse. yeah, the plan is to spend the dosh on gears now (as 31's will be very soon - nearly convinced a mate from work to gimme his!) lockers may have to wait... :roll: as for terrain - a ...

nicbeer wrote:are u going bigger tyres?

if not for a bit then go for the locker.

if so gears and weld the rear up later maybe.

thanks nic - plan is 31's very soon, and 33's in the future.

i am leaning towards gears (no lockers yet).

hmmm, but i only got dosh for one or the other... so, gears first?

Money tree has wilted - only enough left for one or the other: whats the better option for the zook? (Note: zook is going to be used on-road as much as off-road) a set of the lockrites ? http://www.locktup4x4.com.au/product/cbb5776a-e490-44c4-8d11-6f1e8878b601.aspx or TT 6.5 gears ? http://www ...

Just get new lines made, they're cheap enough.

Steve,

LOL - i got quoted $50 a line ... not that cheap!

hahaha - the tyre cover is cheaper too...

highlifts can be used for other things aswell, but i think i will just get a bottle jack and stow it away in the car someplace.

my stock jack is hopelessly inadequate and i was looking at a high-lift jack. the body doesnt look like it would enjoy being jacked, and looking at the tongue of the high lift you wont get it under the chassis rail anywhere . i have seen heaps of sierra's with the high-lift attached to the back/on ...

thats the plan... and she will become a gun at changing wheels over in record time!

Will be hanging out for the 'unveiling'

excellent work on the inner panels (and the rear door table - wink, wink!) i especially like the way you lined it all with rubber around the edges of the checker plate - that will be a tip i will use next time. To stop my table 'rattling' i put small pieces of sticky-backed rubber at the corners ...

pics anyone... i still have yet to find any pics of a hook on a Sierra (mounted poorly or properly).

Pics would help the layman know what you are talking about.

Hmmm, Mines looks a bit different Now...

which reminds me - i gotta put a new gasket on mine soon aswell

i think this build is more remindng us old heads of what we 'Should' be doing to our zookz... but arent coz we are too lazy...

trim rear cargo area sides with ali checker plate. Can I put a suggestion forward... I've had chequer plate panels in cars before and they make it bloody cold (well colder than normal). Marine ply is HEAPS cheaper than ali chequer plate, the money saved by buying some 6mm ply would cover a cheap ...

P.s. She know's more about painting and panel work than I do!

or maybe it is because you guys care more about your zook than i do mine!

Well done - nice work. Can only hope that my little bloke will be keen to build a car with his old man when he is older. Plus i am with 11_evl - check out my members page for what sort of rust/damage you can expect behind those sills. http://www.izook.com/tech/samurai/body/ncorockers/ncorockers.htm ...

i for one have been quite happy with the range of aftermarket suzi stuff available from the US of A.

finding a cheaper way to get it here would be nice (but i think you guys already offer lower shipping if the orders are placed together/sent in bulk?)

Make up some of these (you get the idea) http://photos-h.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v236/88/23/679836206/n679836206_842015_4348.jpg http://photos-f.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v236/88/23/679836206/n679836206_842013_3203.jpg http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v236/88/23/679836206 ...

(and i got one close by!)

hahaha this is classic ! you know you own a zook when: ... you get out of the car, and it still leans towards the drivers side. and ... when you get into the car after a big rain, and all the water on the soft top falls onto your right arm ... when you can stand in next to the motor, and still shut ...

Dilbert will just be a capable little tourer... I love suzuki's for what they are, but tourers aren't one of them. buy a roof rack... and remove the back seat (or one of them)... You would be suprised what you can stuff in a zook - but it does sort of make it a 'one-person' tourer (gives me an ...

the body changed from NT to WT in 1988.5... according to the info i have But if your car is a WT, then it should fit other WT's... not sure about coilys - they changed the front clip, but i dont think the rear of the zook was altered much (except for those brake light thingy that fits on the wheel ...

My G13 is going to be run until it croaks (which from the way it is going wont be too long!) then my preference (which is what these sort of threads turn into) is probably getting an DOHC EFI G13b from a GTI swift (turbo one, if i can find it). That is because i have found a kit for one - with the ...

MORE PICS REQ'D OF THE YELLOW ZOOK

yeah - it looks longer than the one i have hanging in my shed gathering dust... lasted all of 5 minutes (after i got the zook lic) before i removed it and stuck it on the wall - and that is where it has stayed ever since! probably only ever re-use it if i get a yellow sticker ... Noobs on Ebay will ...

i have 2" BL, 2" shackles and have 3" springs on the way (from the US) - currently have original (flat) springs, and 30" tyres. Been 'getting there' for the last 9 months, do bit-by-bit as i find out more about my zook, but i should be able to fit a 33 x 10.5 tyre under there easily when the springs ...

mine has the same rattle as above - drives perfectly tho, and will run it til it dies...

excellent thread - used this for my BL. Only thing to add was i had to remove my gearstick boots (orignals are hard rubber), and replace with custom ones (vinyl), as my gearsticks would hit the boot and not select 2nd or 4th gear or L4. Also, i have some 'bumper extensions' that are perfect for ...

yeah, i am going to keep the PVC - to - airbox (everything under the bonnet) when i go to steel... it just works, and i can hardly see it getting damaged under there!
