Yes and also paint it pink and build an exo so you can carry ladders and pieces of pipe around.

(One day I hope we will get sick of SPUA & SPOA Bashing and focus on Kia's)

Mate all i would do is put a 2-3" spring lift,a 2" body lift,lockers F & R and a decent set of tyres.Oh and definatley get a full roll cage...
And if you want a bit more wheel travel,look at the climax shackles.
If ya need any help,just give me a call.

yes red zook they are nice tyres thankyou
sam as i said other day not interested in spoa but pics posted of your
trip up this way have increased my interest in coils
would love to paint it pink and fit exo but unfortunately cant afford the ladders
sorry jamie I'm not a fan of the climax shackle
would love a set of air lockers at the right price though

red zook history of the rear bar is top secret !!
don'y know if your comment about taillights contains sarcasm suzuki
viagra but they are pretty sexy for $22 each and about 1 hour to fit

Not bad flex for stock...

I reckon if you're gunna keep is spring under, set up full exo cage, and do some major underbody protection (skid plates, front and rear sliders). Dual lockers with good gripping tires will get you all over the place, and you can just slide or roll over anything you can't really drive over.

Can you do the jeep leaf spring conversion while staying spring under?? Does anyone know? That would give more flex...

Winches at least front, maybe rear also, will be the only way to survive competitions without big lift and tires... Can't go too hardcore without making the truck hardcore first...

BTW, i think the taillights are cool. Out of the way, hard to break. Are they LED?

Cool looking chariot. Where in N'castle are ya based?

And more importantly, where do ya get those lights for $22 bucks?

I want those lights too

have a look at big steves, greg or my setup for rear leaves all round, guard trimming and 34" swampers with a Series 3 rockhopper and lockers. Good low capapble cars for not much $$$$ if done right the first time. And also where did you get the lights from?

Post by **BLACK ZOOK** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 10:18 pm

competed in spua zook with dual lockers for a couple of years then decided to have a break but am now getting back into it i believe you can go hardcore without massive lift and huge tyres - as long as you have the big balls - my old zook drove Porters , Freds Hill , and competition with only 31" muddies

THE LIGHTS
Should i give up my relative individuality????

No they are not LED

Sealed beam rubber mounted

Post by **Drewfus** » Thu Apr 01, 2004 8:06 am

individuality........mmm.

A novel concept.

Looks good regardless.

Post by **mtzook** » Thu Apr 01, 2004 5:56 pm

I believe Narva sells flat mounted round lights like those, but LED's. I had a look thru their full catalog a few years back and they had just started selling them for semi-trailers. They were selling them to replace the old dull-looking ones....

How did you "rubber mount" them??? They kinda look "metal-mounted" in the pic.

Post by **Beastmavster** » Thu Apr 01, 2004 7:25 pm

No sarcasm... like them a lot.....

Remind me of Skyline taillights or Corvette tail lights a bit.

not much good on the Viagra with the taillights well out of the way btu a good idea on a Sierra for sure.

Post by **BLACK ZOOK** » Fri Apr 02, 2004 8:41 am

the lights are narva and they are sealed they come with wires and rubber
mounting gromet thingy just have to ask for mounting hole diameter

Amber part # 94002 cost $20.60 each

Stop / tail part # 94008 cost $18.03 each

Reverse part # 94018 cost $20.00 each ( not used )

Purchased from North Star Motors at Heatherbrae ph. 49831433
Their prices on lightforce seem reasonable also.
