Outer Limits 4x4 Board

use the vented rotor's, vit calipers up front and a solid disk\sierra caliper in the rear .. your brakes will be able to pull you up very very easy even with the added leverage of 33's. ( I could not say that I ever really found the brakes wanting even with heavy bias ply 35's)

Did the car ever ...

thanks guys, i do own a book called how to modify suzukis for serious offroad who here has read or even has followed this book to build up a suzuki?. and who here has done a sas on a vitara at home (not using the professionals) does it get very complicated i am a qualified fitter and have access to ...

Moph i just did that trip in a loaded hard top - mind you I went as far as Tasmania. I sat on 90, more for milage which was around the 9 litre mark. But I don't think it had much more, when the wind picked up i struggled. My last zook on the other hand had a good motor and exhaust (130k on the clock ...

ok mine is doing the same i was in the bush started clunking everynow and again from the rear wheel drove home when i pulled off the moterway and slowed down realised it was MUCH MUCH worse pulled up at home there is diff oil dribbeling out the drivers side wheel

That sounds like a wheel bearing ...

sweet build thread

Dammit, i have pics of Big steves old rig on my dead laptop. No bonus points for me :( Though i do have the shackles off his parted out rig sitting in my shed.

De-wuss try to get more than one trip out of the zook till it ends up its lid too :finger:

Layto....

I've driven it more k's then you ...

i thought i recalled a rumor steve was looking into another zook a while ago.. might be jsut makin up dribble.. as im pretty sure he has a small army of ankle biters now.. shame all the pics went missing.. Was one of the first modded zooks I really paid much attention to..

Would be good if anyone ...

Nah - i don't do much shopping in my car

Perfect for cruising the IKEA carpark

Going through the old stuff is fun.

but as you posted four times that is now suddenly $1140 and that is expensive,

But bully for you in getting those for that price but ten we have no idea who you are, where they come from what sort of material they are or how they fit a Sierra. But on the other hand we do with Bill's products ...

Greg those flares are SWEET!

So what makes these different to the flares sold by Piranha offroad, which as I understood is what you vic guys were using. Sorry if this has been covered. I tried to read the thread through.

Cheers

Well first to comment on the COG vs body lift. Given that the body lift doesn’t give you much clearance advantage I don’t see why you wouldn’t get rid of it. I think you would be a lot happier to be sitting two inches lower on a decent side hill.

The transfer case should still fit, assuming it has ...

thanks everyone for Ur advice helps heaps the only thing i am unsure of now is what sort of power assist steering box to run on the hilux high steer kit ,dunno weather to run a IFS hilux steering box or a vitara power assist one, any ideas would be great.

thanx again guys

Depending on what size ...

I know this is dumb question, like how long is a piece of string, but what are people paying for a MK1 GTI motor? What’s reasonable should I ask seeing as what someone pay’s is always different to what is reasonable?

I've been looking at putting a 92 zuk motor into a 1958 Ford Prefect, but would ...

were the hell have u been hidin?

Darwin/west oz/tasmania.. Currently in Darwin at the moment but heading to South east asia next month.

Thinking about coming home in October to build another zook to take on a long road trip... see how i go.

Seeing as this is a dream zook build thread and i don ...

This sounds about as good as it gets. Can't drive it, winch it

At least Twon's consistent!


Well done to the guys at the top. What the hell happened to the firetruck?

Looks awesome mate.

Just a quick question, can you explain maybe some pic's of how you pulled the dents with the washers. I've seen it done this sort of thing done but with a slide hammer. Just wondering how you pulled it I guess. Was it just with some serious beefcake and a trusty set of pliers ...

Is that the Zook that can defy gravity?

It had to be said!

surprised you can remember the spring specs !!!
I get asked asked this a lot, it's usually followed by 'but I didn't want to spend much, isn't there anything I can get for free that awesome offroad, legal, and good onroad that just bolts on?"

Hahahahahah :armsup:

I have a banana peel, do ...

They have a bigger pumpkin and sometimes wider is not better when your trying to keep it legal (or sort of). I guess thats why he's talking about using hilux.

Don't forget MQ's work but you are going to be limited somewhat by aftermarket support. They have a centre'd pumpkin as well. I'll let the ...

You guys built the red one for TTC didn't you, if so is it tougher then that... Or is that one really a buggy not a Zuk

Hahah just Sh1t stirring, awesome mate look forward to seeing it. Will you be competing in it?

Please explain.

PS. TJ flares look stupid, but if you want the easy way out, then they will work.

I like it, keep the pic's coming.

I way prefer build up's in the relevant area's as they don't get lost and generally have more tech then any other thread.

Wicked you just like it coz of the little girl (Bet you would prefer it if it was a little boy though!!)

Yeah i knew what rig it was you were talking about. I say it's a nifty little rig mate, something to tinker with and get your motervation levels back up again. Would be a pretty cool fishing rig even in standard trim...

There is one that packs out the from of my office from time to time. Looks ...

Anyway, not sure if this helps or not but have a read through.

Okay...

Why the chromo gear for a daily driver on small wheels??

As for the choice, I reckon the 85 is the best.. But then again your last one was a nice piece of lux.

Twon, just coz you got yourself a V8 doesn't mean it's the be end and end all. I mean you say scotty rev's the bejebus out of it, but ...

Don't worry i don't see it as an argument, and i think your rig is cool. The thing is you didn't waste money on new spring as they came with the car. I think alot of new people rush in and spend money ill educated... I'm not saying new springs are wrong, just that it should be thought out first ...

GO have a chat to an engineer about everything everyones suggested, see what you can legally do as well - if the zuk aint legal, and you crash into someone, all insurance is void!!! and nevermind if you get a yellow or red sticker...

A sierra also is prolly not an ideal choice for a really young ...
