I have tootled about in my little 1.6 carb powered 235/75d zuk for a while now she is otherwise stock as a rock.. but the modification bug has bit due to a few dings here and there the clucth is on it's way out etc .. and I have a mig welder and shed .. so I figure that they are a good of a reason as any to modify.
I want EFI, Auto and possibly coils.. I only want to run a normalish 31 or max of a skinny 32 (235/85 16's on grand vitara rims) I am not after huge flex just a bit more comfortable ride, better steering input when flexed up and I've always wanted to coil a leafy
I was thinking radius arms front and rear not unlike alot of the long arm kits for wranglers.
When I one day get started ( have started on the parts gathering with an Auto box, just need ALL the other bits now) I will post a build thread.
Engineering is not a huge concern to me as it is definately not a Daily, would be lucky to see a 20K's worth of bitumen a month.

Suitable link material ..
This thing is not going to be a hard core crawler etc .. just bombing about a few state parks with reasonable sized tyres etc .. so I dont feel I need anything super duty (ie chromo links etc).
Given the material type and thickness that several much heavier factory vehicles run (crusiers, patrols, jackeroo's etc) would recycling their factory made links be suitable and save alot of fab work.

32NB sleeved with 25NB. You'd have trouble breaking them in a zook. Or you could always go the 50x50x4 SHS route. Looks a little nasty but is cheap and strong.

Re: Time to modify my little red wagon .. Link material ?
I like it nasty and cheap 
( strong works to )
After reading the auszookers thread the rangie arms may be a good option less fab work to deal with.. flex is not my number one goal out of this ( if I can improve it of course thats a bonus) What I am after is control as in getting rid of that sloppy loose feeling leaves can get.
I figure I can drop at least a grand on an off the shelf suspension system I will be unhappy with anyway, so why not redirect that money to coils and some quality shed time.
( I have no doubt I will end up spending more than this .. but it is at least a justification to my wife )
