If you don't mind me asking Dino, why so tall for such small tires?

DeWsE,
The small tyres are actually 33" and allow for full suspensioon compression without fouling on the guards etc...

Dino

A question about the vehicle. Because it has spring over conversion would the roadworthy cover it for driving on Qld roads?
I have to get my money sorted fast so I can buy this.

I forgot to mention I have also done major guard modifications, floor pan modifications, diff relocation, 6" offset on rims to allow tyres to tuck without obstruction.
C.O.G has also been attended to!!! Tweety's weight is over 1300kg's, 400kg's over a standard sierra. Most of the extra weight is spread evenly & is mostly at the base of the body with all bar work done with 4mm pipe, the spare tyre is in the back & the 3mm base 55 litre fuel tank balances out the extra weight that the winch & front bar added.
Regards
Dino

A $3000 paint job will make any vehicle look pretty and yes it has seen rocks, sand, water, and the open road.

Go easy stuped, he'll most probably still out wheel you and me.
Just because he has a different type of rig than that generally seen on this board doesn't mean it's no good.
I for one do like the rig for what it is. But if I had the time and the money I wouldn't do what he has done. Again it's a matter of opinion.
Further he is a new member and I don't think we are giving him a very good welcome.
my 2c
Thanks dino for answering every question and not getting pissed

Welcome Dino.
Having seen 'twetee' about 2 years ago in the flesh at your workshop, I'll put my hand up to vouch for the nice presentation of zook, displaying some creative barwork etc.
Quick question for you if I may.... no offence intended, but why haven't you been driving it to comp's etc and promoting your products etc?
Again, not intending to be negative with the question, just curious as I see its at your workshop from time to time but never really 'out and about'.....

You'll have to drop in again as theres been a few changes. Haven't been out much, your right, but we will definately be heading to Tuff Truck.
