Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ur suspension setup sounds good

4 link and lux rear leafs upfront

ull be suprised how competive u can be in them

I reckon you should throw away the rest of the body and build the toob onto the chassis in the same way as Nam's buggy was built... then just put the bonnet back on (nothing looks better than a beat on bonnet) and add a fire wall and it's all systems go...

i'm thinking that after seeing the breakages at the oz-rock event that hilux diffs aren't going to hold together very well (depending on tyre size of course)... how about thinking ahead some and buying some monster diffs to run under you zook that you could then transfer onto a buggy at a later date?

I think you should stop thinking and finish YOUR car

More seriously the Zook will just be a fun Zuggy until i know what i want in a buggy. I figure the only way to know what i want in a buggy is some wheel time. This seems to be the quick and easy way to get some wheel time on the rocks.

hmmm i just competed in the last werock round with my zuk
drove to and from the event with no breakages

ohh and bout time u mexicans have decided to run some rocks

way more skill needed then mud running
ohhh and since you all reckon them zuk diffs are unbreakable why not keep them






















NOTE: i am just stirring for anyone that thinks other wise

Not everyone, was the first thing i got rid of.

driving over other cars' tyres in the car park at we-rock does not count as competing tim.

either way though - given the damage report from the oz rock event included MQ and GQ cv's - it's got me thinking these are not up to the rigours of hard comp use.

you be careful with the stirring tim - mudtoy might notice and then you will be in real strife

One sure thing is that EVERYTHING will break eventually. Although those CTM U joints on the ABT buggy do look the goods.

Update: All parts with the exception of the rear disconnect have now been aquired just need to fix the busted bits on the Hilux to get it out of theway and then start cutting up the Zook yet again.

id like to see the dove tail should look cool.

i was about to ask how u goin to dovetail with the floor, then read the last post agian

OK, the afterbirth is about to begin.

Have just aquired a V8 rangie which will be the donor car and have all of the other bits lying around. Time for the fun to start

cool bout time there is a build up on here

u get in there and get it done so should be good to watch this thread

OK, not a lot of news but have many plans set up.

Rangie being picked up next week

Hilux diffs semi rebuilt already, just working out weather to run welded front and rear or LSD front welded rear.

All of the link mounts for the rear are sitting there ready to go on.

So hopefully within the next three or four weeks we'll be rolling again.
