If you used a bundy hiclown it would drive through all 8 layers of gravity in high range.

You must have found some better places in SA to wheel than me to make that amount of work worthwhile!

yep on both counts

Post by **FC3892** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 3:14 pm

i will get shot down for saying it, but i think once u start swapping diff's, motors, transfer.. then put half a nother car in and under it, for ME it stops being a zook. Starts being a "truck".
Anywho, back on track

that gets my vote for a cool build

Hope you dont need to use the spare!

Post by **grimbo** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 6:32 pm

why, it would work to get you out of somewhere. you don't always need a full size spare

Post by **zookieboi** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:24 am

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't want to be flamed for chitchat:

31's on reversed rims
Gears 4.19 - so I can still hit a HWY without melting the engin in Hi
Custom rears up front with chassis extention (Help the weight distribution and soften the ride)
Virtual lift as done by the D-man for stumped in members section
EFI
Long range tank

Thats pretty muchh it, and I would hope it's under the $3500.
Built for sand and distance.
