Zook Build-Up

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

Saw this truck at Woodpecker today...AWESOME. Really inspired me to finish off mine....

Oh and I forgot to ask you about the change to the traction bar in the rear. Why that design?

I have had about 4 different trac bars in it now!

The first one i had kept on bending the shackle. As it articulated the trac bar would move forwards and to the right.

I am going to put coils in the back of it now. I want more wheelbase and i am sick of bending springs.

Hey Mick, was just wondering if you could post up some close ups of this area when you could.

Steve

Here is the close up you wanted, probably too late by now though

[grimbo]

love the way you've tied the rollcage into the door mounts

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

i didnt think it was enough mounting the cage to the chassis in 6 places. A little bit of extra support was needed

[grimbo]

I've always thought welding was over rated, give me a zip tie and some gaffer tape any day

Maybe you'd be interested in an Overkill coil kit BAHAHAHAHA

[Shorty40]

I should have just winched it like everyone else ended up doing.

WINCHES ARE FOR POOFS

Hey Mick can you remind me weather I drove that rock or not.

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

Hey Mick can you remind me weather I drove that rock or not.

Have you fixed your broken axle yet??????????????????

Dont make me post the photos from my house!

[RUFF]

Hey Mick can you remind me weather I drove that rock or not.

Maybe Mick also remembers how many attempts you had at it as well

Tell me more about the things that your happy with and the things that need changing.

Any problems with front springs bending?

If you built it again what would you do different?

I am basically happy with the whole build of it. I am always changing things on the truck to improve it some way.

If i built it again i would probably do some chassis extension in the front like Matt did his, mainly for more wheelbase and to keep the tyres out of the firewall.

I want to change the front end around but i am not sure exactly what i want to do with it at the moment so it will stay as it is for now.

I have hilux springs in the rear of it now and might put another set in the front. I am also running Pro Comp MX6 shocks all round

hey mick, if you were to sell it as is now, how much do you think you would get??

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

i have no idea what i would get for it. With modified trucks you just have to wait for the right person to come along to buy it. It would probably be easier to sell it in bits.

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

Another update.

I have sold the 37 boggers off it.

My new tyres will hopefully be in the workshop on monday or tuesday. I am getting some 39.5x13.5 Swamper IROKS.

btw, are you going in the xrcc at rover park in january?

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

i will be there at rover park and so will Matt in the black zook.

[redzook]

how often do you expect to brake

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

i will find out soon enough! I dont think it will break too often, if it does i will get some longfields or an 80 series diff.

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

IROK's got here the other day.

They are 39.5x13.5x15

The IROKs are unmounted, the 44's are on an 11 inch rim at 0 psi. The 44's arent bagging much though.
