My coles has speedbumps .. thats why my ZUk is broken .. driving to the extreme all the time takes it's toll ...

Here we go again.

I might have again soon too. looks like I've sold the valiant so may have some $$$ to get things sorted.

Is that a collective yay I hear from everyone? No more babbling from Grimbo & love_mud?

Yay

Possibly the slowest RWC build up ever

I have seen pics of it moving with dirt/mud/rocks/trees around it in the past few weeks ... not picas of it surrounded by poles holding up the garage roof like grimbo or myself ...

Did a front bar today, nothing too flash, just something to tone down the protruding rails and possible mount a couple of lights on

Few more

More still.

The tube we used is Chlorine pipe so it comes with a plastic coating which needed to come off.

Last few

Finished/painted

I have some aluminium mesh to go infront of the radiator, I'm also getting different indicators and the number plate will mount to the bar.

Always take care when grinding.

Um, maybe the shackles will be hitting everything before the new tube bar does??

How many inches you got from the bottom of the shackle to the ground? Those photo angles make it look pretty vulnerable.

The purpose of the bar is more to cover the chassis extension and mount some lighting.

Unfortunately with RUF the shackles take a beating but thats life

I've never really had a problem hitting stuff with my shackles

Yes But there aren't that many obstacles in the average garage.

Big Steve,

Just an idea - but i reckon it may look good with some mesh over the front bar (ala Paul G's Coiler) to fill in the gab a bit - and you could put the number plate on that...

See my superb artists impression of what it would look like:

I almost added a post script to my own post like that. But then i thought no one would kick me while I'm down so I didn't

I have some bling aluminium mesh for that very gap.

I saw at Auto Salon that almost everyone was using the bling style bonnet pins that you have big steve...

Though something that i saw (and almost wanted) was some the same as yours but they were plain steel/stainless (whatever) i.e. not annodised and bling...

For bonus point Dewse - try to find a photo of the original big steve sierra...

Dammit, i have pics of Big steves old rig on my dead laptop. No bonus points for me :( Though i do have the shackles off his parted out rig sitting in my shed.

De-wuss try to get more than one trip out of the zook till it ends up its lid too

I've driven it more k's then you ever have in yours. ... Hmmm, it's already been on it's side a few occasions.

I have one picture of his second zuk, the one built in this thread. I can only just remember his old one, i think it had racing strips for extra legs.
