BUT other than transfer, front bar, and switty soft top.. its sweet..

hey mate, i got a 98 coily, get a 2" lift and 2" body and you will be sweet.
if you want to go bigger than a 30" tyre, you will need to shorten the outrigger behind the front bumper otherwise you wont be able to fit the tyre in.
you will be surprised what you can do with a few simple mods, like gears and a rear locker.
have fun with the build

here are a couple of mine with just the 2" lift and 235x75r15s, even with this set up and reduction gears i could go pretty much where ever i wanted too.
i have not got any recent pics with my bodylift and tires uploaded yet but will do soon, need to get them off my bros camera.

a little flex
to get a more clearance, i will be replacing my front shocks ( they are still standards) and getting new springs and 1" coil spacers all round. will be around 5" of lift.
here is another coliy on 31s

Ok, well i have had the coily for around 2 weeks now.. and i have to say..
its the best zook i have ever owned/driven
all be, it is at standard hight with just 30" tires..
but it drives more like a car than a zook..
ride is sweet, handeling is good, the gearing is crap,
but yeah i like it! i have removed the swaybar and it flexes ALOT better than a standard zook..
im stoked
2inch springs and 2inch bl and i should be set!

yeah, right now i get through about 95% of the stuff my mates get through with their patrols and 33s no problems.
i found no difference in handling on road with the sway bar in or out. go for gears as soon as you can. the best thing ever

everytime you talk about this old zook the tyres get an inch bigger

mine drove way better without a sway bar on 2 inch lift.
maybe thats because it used to get caught on the nudgebar lol.
