I backed down and am happy I did :) Used to drive a feroza :oops:

I reckon a coily is still ok though. If it's JUST the link design that is farked that can be overcome though ;) You'll probably lose a bit sellin it :roll:

Keep the coily Ryan!

If you get a leafie (even one with Lux diffs ;)) it'll still be another leafie Sierra. Everyone knows that leafies haul offroad :roll:. Coilies are much less common, but at least it's still a solid axle in both ends :armsup:

I don't really know the full history of your Zuk, but if it's just those trailing arms that keep bending, just strengthen them up - then wait for the next thing to bust :D

Exactly with all the money you have been throwing at that thing, whats another $4000 going to matter. Sell off your existing shocks & springs etc to another coily owner. Geez man you have just about everything else done except locker. To much money to loose if you sell now.
SUZUKI Remember anything else is a compromise.

keep the coily. its different.

There are so many modded leafies out there but not too many hardcore coilys.

Lux or hybrid diffs, stronger links, lockers and off you go. Do something different.

A coily may cost a little more to mod than a leafy but in the end it is totally unique. Remember, real rigs are built not bought.

The other alternative is to but a hilux with 6" lifted (non articulating type) springs and some all terrains. Which would you prefer?

Stay with ya coily Ryan. Once ya get the weak links sorted (ha ha pun intended) and lock the rear end it will be sweet, and much more unique than out leafys.
