Very Grimace.
Who would want a cheep body on there zook. Thou that company in NZ does fibre zook shells.
The person i bought my ARB bar off had a jeep copy on a sierra WT chassis. very crap looking and questionable build quality.

That would be like putting a Lada body on a Cobra chassis

i have seen a fibreglass replacement jeep cj2a body on a zook chassis with a tilt front end before and it was a very good looking body

A galvanised body would be less prone to rust than the zook one. I would think it would also be a good bass for a rock hopper rig. I also like the look. But maybe thats just me.

thats good idea ... galvanised body
then just run it with out paint and just give it a nice polish .. very bling .. but it wouldn't last long
but ... do we want to turn our zooks into more of a wanna be jeep?
i get Sh@T from my brother as it is about his tj is better than my zook .. well it is but not for long

You should get better clearance with the front guards. Was just thinking a MASH replica on 33's would look hot. But with out all the weak jeep drive train.
That should up set someone.

Very good quality, but prices do reflect that..........
The business is for sale too by the look of it.

The Galvanised body is cheaper.

a jeep body would be easy to replicate (to a certain degree), almost every panel is flat. just buy a bonnet and grill and some sheet metal. have seen a cortina body on a zuk. he had room for two tanks as the cortinas is under the boot. seated 4 ppl. looked stupid though. points for trying.
