Pioneering something new is cool. Hilux diffs on a Zook is old hat. Hybrids baby yeah! These are simple light and strong. I like 'em.

Bubs I wanted to be different and have something unique and original.There isn't much hardcore Zook stuff on the market so I have started to make some.Anyway I didn't want to offend my Zook by using Toyota axles I wanted to use as much Zook stuff as I could so I can still call it a Zook.

Sam,
Now those Invaders from KONE know you are making progress, don't be surprised if they start appearing in your workshop.

they certainly aren't lightweight if they are 15mm thick

Way cool Sam
We're looking into doing a similar thing using Dana 30 knuckles etc. Should be fairly cheap to get the bits and we've found a guy who is interested in helping with the axle tubes.
So fingers crossed, maybe soon

15mm thickness, what is the weight of these compared to stockers?
it will help the COG for sure.

Nick I couldn't put a weight on it but is a fair bit heavier than the stock diff.

Is the transmission in yet or is that the most awesome ramp over in the known cosmos?
Lookin good bloke! But Sam, can't I see a pesty invader from KONE hiding in the back? It looks like a flash of KONE orange to me.

Maybe you should have changed your Internet Provider then just maybe you could have got away with this

Sam,
That is an awesome ramp-over angle. Is there a transmission in there yet?
