Finally!!!! ;)

Good work mate... I've heard rumours that a suzuki down here could be running on some of those tyres soon too.

I think seat position is fine - but only if you are less than 5'9" or more than 6'4" - anyone in between will struggle with forward vision due to the big shoulder lugs on those tyres.

P.s. don't forget that with the 34's - you will need to get a new distributor cap.

No worries mate - just looking out for you. :)

I guess you could drive around with blocks of wood attached to your feet - big steve does that and it seems to work okay.

All you creepy crawlers with 10000:1 final drive ratio's .. you all make me sick :bad-words: ... What you really need is a 4.16 tcase thats yellow and has a bent short side arm ...

AS a very kind offer .. I will swap anyone of you just such a T/case for a 6:1 .. just to get the dastardly devices off the streets and dispose of it in a safe location where it can do no more harm ... Like in my Zuk .. as it rarely moves, the gears and alloy of the T/case housing will decay into nothing before it goes anywhere again :cry: .. either that of give it to grimbo .. as His Zuk seems to get about as much action as mine does lately ..

Perhaps it's an un-read condition of patrol ownership - once you get one your little zook gets left alone... Like getting a new pet - the old one gets ignored. :cry:

Far from ignored .. underfunded perhaps .... but not ignored .. soon I will be patroless again ... so The Zuk will get more attention :D .. and new diffs with working brakes .. and working wheel bearings .... Besides .. who ever called my Zuk little :shock: :D

The Klune is way lower than either of them isnt it .. The rock blak etc are only 1.9:1 (vit low range) whereas the klune is 4:1 ...

So lets see .. 3.65x4x6x5.13 = ABOUT 450:1 .. I guess thats kinda slow .. Time fo them 44 boggers and 7.x ratio Mog portals ... or perhaps some 18:1 fork lift diffs .... :D

Just like mega flex, mega gearing is overrated :finger:

6:1 hopper is heaps! esp, if you're gonna have 5.12s in the diffs.

34s, zook axles with 5.12s & that unmistakable CAMO driving style... Oh i can hear/see/smell the carnage already!!! :D :D :D

Why not rockblock & thorax? :idea:
Thorax is on the gear box & rockblock is on the transfer case, and I bet you could get a Klune V in there somewere aswell if you realy wanted to (why you would realy want to I don't know :lol: ).

Yep - should be sweet as i reckon.

And on a side note - can i just say that it is great to see someone else that doesn't bother cleaning there car before trying to work on it - after all - that's why we have goggles right :cool:
