don't stress all my non power + sierra loving friends.
if this combo cant be in a lwb sierra for whatever reason, physically or rules. it will be in a 4wd. vit lwb or maybe a buggy, who knows.
but building this combo will never be a waist of time!!

ashley

buggy...leave the LWB alone, either ...

so when are we trial fitting it in....? hurry up and call me

which diffs, have you decided yet?

Cheers,

Drewfus

Mmm....

since he's added a tow bar, what sort of load are these generally rated to?

I've got some 32" pedes sitting idle...I wonder how'd 'comfy' they'd fit under there...

Squik, will send ya a pm...

Any chance you can grab a few photo's?

Don't do it, it will create the same problem as the 'plastic'

Either cut the sills, plate with a piece of heavy wall RHS or plate, or make bars/sliders.

Checkerplate offers nothing but 'bling factor' and opportunity for rust underneath.

I'm no navi.....just a hick in the crowd that knows...

Cage out, windscreen back in, rear mudflap back on..........that's about it....

Considering that it was the first real time you've driven that chariot, I'm stoked for you, you certainly did well, especially against alot of the high capital units.

Time to bring it up the farm.....we'll have a bash.

Heres a few simple shots....

What changes have been made since the last round of work to get it rego'd ??
Layto....

There were a number of details, most of which revolved around the engineers certificate. For further info, see Germo on the weekend.

The hoops have been jumped through, and the car is now ready to roll. :D ...

Germo is coming....

Toughtruck, watch out...

Photo's soon.

Looks like its to be painted yellow with metallic purple flames (see pic ripped off that someone here did for BIGSTEVE ages ago) or possibly red with purple, at least it will match the hilux then.

That would be me.........glad to see Steve still lurks, and also that someone is willing to use ...

When my sierra had MQ diffs i ran the MQ booster. It did require some minor firewall adjustments but nothing major. It worked a treat even with the 36" tyres.

As Mud4b said swap out your break lines for braided units. A worthwhile upgrade even if you're running the GQ master cylinder.

yeh ...

call me crazy but I think you've got them mounted 90 degrees to far ie the nipple should be pointing up....not across..

Cheers,

Drewfus

so why the change in diffs? Can understand the desire to change engine/box, kinda accepting the other mods, but I keep wondering where your headed.

Basically, you want a Buggy, but for whatever reason not prepared to do it now, that is cool and I understand, but then your suggesting basically ...

Thanks.

Drewfus

Motivation has struck and I'm trying to get my butchered/mixmatched zook back to 'standard looking' for rego purposes.
My current frustration is that I have a 1.3 zook engine, a 1L front clip, and am endeavouring to temporarily use a 1L air cleaner so that its all zook and looks 'factory'.

Now the ...

Who wants one?

Germo.....Centres (here's my chinese whisper...)

LJ80 have 4.6 centres
1 litre (NT) have 4.1 centres
1.3 litre (NT) have 3.9 centres
1.3 litre (WT) have 3.7 centres

Vitara's...to my limited knowledge they came in 4.6's and 5.1's

NT come in two types, 1 litre, and 1.3.
They are the same width ...

Firstly, we all are aware, I'm sure, that standard Sierra rim is 15"x5.5", with a 5 on 5.5 P.C.D.

Secondly, we are well versed that the common mod is to use either early F100 15x8", ur Feroza 15x7" rims...

The above is old news...

These days, Suzuki has a number of different models which, on ...

Cool. Look forward to the action shots with the Simex's....

G'day,

the cut gaurds look great, did you 'trim' any of the body sill at all for the wheels when they're on lock, or just the front bucket area?

Cheers, and well done,

Drewfus

if you had a 1.3 body & dash, then the 42o.d. tube will just fit. on a 1 litre body and dash, cutting is required.

would be a big job fitting a 1.3 dash into a 1ltr as they mount verry diferantly. a 1ltr dash is part or the body and would have to be picked out.


Mock :D

Agree, it's easier to ...

As a former regular 'Greg' said, "Build it SMALL, DRIVE it BIG".

Drewfus

Not at all.

Fire wall is absolutelly different, tranny tunnel is not as wider, tranny stick hole is diferent, dashbords nuts are lower, body studs are shorter, rubber body mounts are smaller.

All other things are the same. I mounted a SJ410 body over my Samurai, using a Samurai Resine Top and old ...

Time for a new thread on this as all the older ones have no pics..

I'm about to do a virtual lift on my zook, and to those who have done it I am wondering about a few things.

1. How much did you raise the guard?

2. Which method did you find easiest to cut the body?
Cutting it into tabs and ...

In a nutshell , On a budget with care factor Zero .

Put a good driver in a car that owes him nothing in his eyes ,and viola.

But really , what makes it a budget rig ?

I feel like I just read the side of a Japanese tin of fruit, attempting to speak english.

I understand and agree with with ...

has been a while since I said that........even though I still stand behind every last detail....
