Errr NO you not serious are you :roll: ?? .. .. The bumpers etc are made form exhaust tube (why they are beat to death. The cage is very well made and extremly well used. They are there as "feelers" only That zuk spends about equal time on it's side\roof as it does on it's wheels. :!:


Take one look at the bodywork and the check out the cage .. it will be very obvious that the entire vehicle is seriously abused and the cage is still in perfect working order.

Some pics would be good!

Are you going to remove all the paint from the wheel wells and chassis?

That mod takes time and you need an extension for your grider to fit the bogger

So you will be building it light as possible with a 1/4 eleptic 3 link rear, hand made 4.16 T/case gears, Shackle reverse front

Sounds sweet to me .. dunno if those Suzuki diffs will be any good though :D
