Spua SUCKS go Spoa SAM
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)

Blackzook
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
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?
My tires were rubbing in the front, so I trimmed the hood, and now they're fine...
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?
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????
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.
My tires were rubbing in the front, so I trimmed the hood, and now they're fine...
that looks very familiar if its the one im thinking of you got it from tonys autos maybe thats who my mate sold it to a few months back. before that another one of my mates had it. pretty capable truck as it was body lift a backyard job alittle dodgy and 3 inch spring lift.
its a good truck.
