A little bit of a Nip

Post by thompson_2986 »

I just purchased 30" federal M/T on 15*8 sunnies for my 93 wt.

put in 2" extended shackles and 2" body Lift and the front bumper bar is touching.

iv notices alot of people have been cutting off the bar that hold the bumper bar on and was wondering if its still legal in Victoria??

i dont think its a structural part of the zuk so i should be able to nip it back and then install a custom bar to cover it up.

any advice would be great

cheers

I think you will find that is the 1st part to go on any zook.

Just cut it, make sure its tidy & wack a tube bar or remount your bullbar on custom mounts.

Chops I'd have to disagree... the first part of any zook that should get chucked out is the swaybar :D . Then those outriggers.

When I put 30s on my zook years ago I got the angle grinder out and trimmed the ends of the bumper plates off. This was enough to stop them rubbing. Then I went to 31s and cut them right off.

I agree, with 30's you can get away with just trimming the bumper mounting plates. Any larger tyre though will need the whole outrigger cut-off
