It's now registered and legal. Well done Joey and Beck. Now we need some action pix...working on that soon
I know I could have added these to the old thread, but all its pix were lost..So we started a new thread, now he has restarted work on the 2.0 litre project.
Snorkle is finished, except for the cap. 3" tube I believe.
Roof and exterior of ute cab is finished.
Front bar work got started today.
Trans oil cooler is fitted.
A bit of work to go, but it looks like a zook again.

I dunno, sorry, will try to remember to ask.....but he usually uses engine enamel on everything, no prep needed and dries ultra fast and is very strong.

Whats the list before it goes to the engineer?
Very nice work!
the engineer went away on holidays, so it can't be checked for another month or so....but the engineers wishes have all been met (as far as we can tell)...just a few things to keep the owner happy while he waits for engineer, and dosh...needs bracing for the shock towers, a bit more wiring under the dash and the front bar work.

yes, it has to be fixed for on road use, with the need for tools to undo it....and a sign on the dash warning drivers of the need to pin/fix it before going on road.
It's simply an extra square u-bolt, same as the ones fitting the shortened spring to the chassis, to pin it to the chassis. just in front of the shackle..

3/4 during assembly, no pretty paint job yet.
this is a NT zook, on a WT it is not as simple. On a NT zook, springs line up with chassis. On a WT zook, you need to make the chassis mount. As you can see, NT zook just U-bolts to the chassis, all else is stock, except for removal of rear shackle mount. christover

Its going for the rwc on the 26" road tyres.
But then for off road will be 30" Khumo mudders, on 30mm offset rims(my old set) until money allows for size upgrade.
Final tyre size and type is not yet decided.
But have heard talk around 32 - 34 Simex ET's or similar.
I think he's going to keep an eye on my Mongrels, also, to see if they are good choice.

nicbeer wrote:>On the 3/4. Are the springs from a zook rear pack? And i am guessing held in by the locating pin on the spring? cheers
yes, brand new OME for the full one, and his old standard spring for the cut one..he has used the original pin to locate it, using a standard axle plate as well...this is possibly not done by most, but he is a perfectionist.
If you wanted a shorter cut spring, you could just drill your own locator hole, I suppose.

cheers
I have had 3/4s on mine for about 7 years now and the top spring has never moved laterally in all that time. On road it is unnoticeable. There is no strange flexing etc offroad either. I think this is because it is still spua. If you went spoa with a 3.4 setup it would behave differently. The good thing with 3/4 over scissor shackles like missing links etc is that the flex is progressive as you are stretching an effectively longer spring

I agree, but I ain't man enough to tell him that, he's tuffer than me
And here's more of the trac bar pix, as peoples wanted to know how it controls its 3/4 rear..... there is other work going on, too, but its not photogenic.

yes and no, it is Joey's truck, but the blue one got wrecked out to help build this Black LWB zook.
Same motor as the blue one, but this time a 4speed auto.
And same Wide Track Diff housings.
This time he has gone to more effort to make things perfect.
About a years worth of work.
BTW how you know him? That is, Who are You??

You dont "need" one, but I reckon it would be a great idea.
Come to think of it I reckon a trak bar on any 4wheeled leaf sprung truck would be a good idea .. (especially when it has a 110 Kw motor in the place a 55Kw motor used to live)
