A mate of mine is looking at buying a Sierra, probably either WT or a coily.
From what I've read the WT is easy to work as parts are more prevalent then the coily. Is this correct? What years did the WT came out in?
He's planning on a 2 + 2 and maybe running 32's. Would there be any problems in doing this?
And yes, I've searched and just want to confirm it all before he spends the $$$.

Coily vs WT Sierra
WT is easier cos its leaf sprung, so you have less issues with control arms and that kinda thing... coilys are great if theyre done right though! ($$$).
2" spring and 2" body is a days work on a leafy, and you can do it all yourself with basic hand tools, a jack and some car stands.

The worst thing about censorship is ███████.
Also with a Coily you have different ratios through the transfer and the diffs. The diffs are 4.01 IIRC and the transfer is 1.320H and 2.123L . On mine i will be sourcing a leaf sprung transfer (either 1.3 or 1.0 providing it has a 4wd light). If you change the transfer you will also need the read driveshaft IIRC.

Your mate has to decide what he's going to do with the car and the terrain he'll be using it on...
NT, WT & Coily all have their advantages and disadvantages.
If he wants a nice steering, smooth ride then go a coily.
If he wants to give it hell in the bush and go wherever he points it then get an NT or WT.
WT is great if he wants to keep it Suzi.
NT would be better if he wants to put Hilux diffs under it. (Depending on state)
Test drive as many different Zooks as possible and get out on a zook run and watch how the different models handle the terrain.
I would not buy a stock Zook again, I'd look and look and look for one that has already had $$$ spent on extras like transfer gears or lockers etc etc.
My opinion anyway.

WT every time.
Coilers are very nice on road but ever single modification is more work, more $$ and leads to more complicated solutions.
If the limit is maybe 30" tyres and medium terrain with a rear locker, a 1.0 transfer swapped in would sort a coiler for most use.
If the owner wants to go beyond that, a WT is a batter starting point.
They are much nicer on road though (in stock form)
