i will get shot down for saying it, but i think once u start swapping diff's, motors, transfer.. then put half a nother car in and under it, for ME it stops being a zook. Starts being a "truck".
Anywho, back on track
that gets my vote for a cool build

Darwin/west oz/tasmania.. Currently in Darwin at the moment but heading to South east asia next month.
Thinking about coming home in October to build another zook to take on a long road trip... see how i go.
Seeing as this is a dream zook build thread and i don't want to be flamed for chitchat:
31's on reversed rims
Gears 4.19 - so I can still hit a HWY without melting the engin in Hi
Custom rears up front with chassis extention (Help the weight distribution and soften the ride)
Virtual lift as done by the D-man for stumped in members section
EFI
Long range tank
Thats pretty muchh it, and I would hope it's under the $3500.
Built for sand and distance.
