Me to! I can tell you its the original " zukinni " I have a small article on it in an old american mag. It was built quickly to compete in top truck. I think it initialy had vit 1600 with twin webbers? Toy axles not sure on transfer. Then changed to 1.9 turbo diesel and dana44s. Go to rocky-road.com for more info.
Glenn wakefeild (owner of zuk and rocky road) and Tim Hardy are alot of the reason I love zooks these guys were doing things years ago that have only recently become mainstream.
Id love to find more info on these guys.

thats it!

thanks guys.

damn i would love to own a zuk like that! Love how it looks so well porportioned. low but still fitting big rubber neatly!

it looks as if the guards have been opened up a fair bit on it at front and rear of the wells/tubs. Wondering what flares have been used to follow the curve? (or am i seeing things?)

It is glen Wakefileds Zukinni. I had a drive of it and in it at Moab. Awesome little car. It was running 35 x 15 Swampers and a Sidekick (Vitara) 1.6 not the VW diesel. i don't think he ever had the diesel in it. The falres were Calmini I believe, you can get them here I had them on my Sierra.

actually those were the RRO flares, they were fibreglass and pretty much sucked ( I had a set on mine for a while)
The latest calmini ones are actually made here in Oz.

I think he changed over to the Calmini ones at a later stage (or it could have been the guys from Spidertrax can't quite remember) because as you said the fibreglass ones sucked. one of the guys with us had them and destroyed the drivers side flares when he leant the car over on Upper Helldarado. Didn't need much force to wreck them

I can tell you first hand glenn never ran calmini parts in those days. In fact He helped me build my first rig. He was building zukini when I was building zuku. His first rig tonka is what inspired me to build a samurai. He was very much against calmini back then and convinced me to run a Spoa (which was a new lift kit then) on my build. Man was that a long time ago. In fact the company was called summit off-road back then. I have the mags in storage I can get them in the morning. I'll scan them but need some one to host the scans for me.
