Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well I just picked up me new Zook on the weekend. Am going to be using it only for offroad and hopefully get into the Tough Tracks and Superior All Terrain Challange competitions. So the 4Runner has now retired to a tow truck only, not that it ever did that much offroad anyway.

Details are:-
92 Model Body
97 Model Coily Chassis
1.6 EFI Vitari Motor
Series 3 Rockhopper Gears
Hilux diffs with 4 link front and rear
Susp and Bodylift
ARB winch bar and Warn 9000lb winch.
Custom offset 15x8 Sunny's with bald 31" bias ply claws
Rear Air Locker.

all for $4000....stoked!!!

Heres a couple pics......

and a pic of it flexin....it still had a little more left in it yet.....

Welcome to the fold
Peter.

Its kinda welcome back, I had a zook for a while in between my 2 4runners....but it got to small for a daily driver!! Can't wait to get back offroad in one but.....so much fun!!!

I've just got to get it enginnered and road worthied then the grinder is coming out and its going to become a totally different truck. Got some BIG plans for it....

Do tell?

good price

i'd sell the fibreglass top for a few hundred bucks too

Yeah the fibreglas top it going staright away.

I was hoping to fit 35's on it, but I'm not sure if I could get them to fit very well after flexin it with the 31's (they rub everywhere on up travel), so I might just put the 33" claws off the 4runner onto it. But major guard trimming, probably cut the whole back off into a ute, and relocate the rear diff back as far as possible. Muck around with the suspension links a little....it flex's good, but could drive a little better. Then full roll cage, tube doors and all that kinda stuff.......I'm open to any other ideas you's might have to improve things....

it only had rocklobster gears in it....

you will be able to fit 35s under it..with some guard trimming...


good to see you got it..

I'll have to bring it down and compare some stuff between your zook and mine, if you don't mind.......I put the 33's off the 4runner on it last night and it looked like heaps would have to be cut just to fit them. (15x10's wouldn't be helping) But I really wanna go 35's as the hilux diffs stuff the classes up for competition so I reckon 35's would be needed just to be competitive.

not a prob...

they are very similar..

its the offset 15x10 giving you the prob....

The 4runner 15x10 rims actually foul on the brake calipers in the front. Cause all my weights are on the inside of the wheel they hit the calipers, which must be bigger on the solid axle hilux's compared to the IFS 4runner.

oh and Mud4B, it does have rock hopper gears in it

hello twisty

nice new ride
very good price aswell

all the hard works done & all the good bits in already

looks nice n phat with the flipped rims

cheers

auto parts locator just closed down, they must have sold it cheap because their 4x4ing team went down with the business.

I'm suprised i had never seen it before because i live across the road from where the owner recently moved out.

Anyway nice sierra

Its been up in a shed a maryborough for over a year. The old owner, Steve moved to sydney and was going to take it down there but stored it at his girlfriends parents place for the time being. But he ended up givin up on the thing as it was his daily driver in favour of a 80 series, so I scored a mates rates bargain

Its a bugger about Auto Parts locater too, they were awesome there!!!

The stickers are on it from a Short Course comp from Jan 2003.........

nice zuk good price too
ull get 35's on easy

awesome... i paid almost that much for a stock one mates rates rocks for you!

make sure ya post up heaps of tech and pics as ya build it

Yeah will do.......I can't start much till I get it enginnered and then roadworthied....once its registed in my name the fun stuff will begin.....

you woulda been dancin the happy dance when you signed the transfers for that price!
slick rig mate!

I wish I had signed the transfer papers.......I can't get a road worthy becuase of the hilux diffs....(well I haven't tried, but I'd assume I get picked up on it)......but I've hopefully found someone that will engineer it, so I'm just going to tidy it up before taking it down there.

Heres a couple of pics of it with the 15x10's and 33" claws off my 4Runner on it....looks awesome!!!

I wasn't able to drive it with them on as becuase all my balanacing weights are on the inside of the wheel they were hitting on the calipers, not allowing the wheels to spin. The 4Runner IFS calipers must be smaller than the solid axle hilux ones....????

I'm hopefully buying some 35" claws on beadlocks off a mate to put on it, but I'm still a but dodgy on how much work is going to be needed to fit them.....

35" claws only measure about 31"

go 37's atleast

In bias ply ones maybe, but the radial's measure about right don't they???

I would love 37's, but I think I am going to have enough trouble fitting 35's on the thing.

Is there pics anywhere of a coily zuke on 35's??

I still wanna be able to kinda drive this thing on the streets in QLD too, so it's got to have some kind of guard covering them.....

i had 38's on my zook needed plenty of cuttin

wil go 35's one day

YUP SAME HERE....

will be getting 35s in a week.

Cool....now I'll be able to check yours out before I go ahead and start cutting mine. What kinda guards are you doing up for it Mud4B?? something like Otis??

nope....

i think those guards are Grimace......


the rear is getting chopped off.. but im just giving it a virtual lift on the front.

Im going Q78's with a virtual lift also, but it is not so much gaurd height, as width that is the problem.
Peter.

So a virtual lift is just moving the flare up on the guard and trimming out the useless metal below??

yep
