Possibly registering it as a tractor would be your only hope. Good luck with it in TTc`06.

full hydro steer
Not knocking you, it looks like it will be a well setup rig, however full hydro on a road registered vehicle (not a tractor) in my expirence could not be engineered.
What cruiser diffs are you going to run with that sort of horsepower and that size of tyre?

by Bentzook
They look like 60 series diffs. Big chunky ones.
You can only use hydro assist on regoed 4x4s, although he needs full hydro to turn those rubbers.

I love zooks as much as the next bloke, but realistically you can hardly class that creation as one.
What zook parts does your car still run?
Does putting a bonnet and grill on my lawn mower make it a zook?

Why is it when someone builds something new, there is always someone that wants to put shit on it. I'm sure that when we build something, its what we want, not what someone else wants (unless you are building it for someone else
). So why put shit on it, or at the same time, why go round saying its better than everyone elses. Each to there own, and if it works for you, then go for it.
Oh, and lookin very nice, will be good to have a good look at TTC. As for the TTC registered vehicle rule, How many rigs competing are really "LEGAL" in the end???????

The only one here that is "jumping down your throat" is Bentzook. Just ignore him and he'll go away.
Beyond that, you have had people say looks great etc etc and you've had people ask questions about why or how. Listen to what they ask, you will probably come up with some ideas based on their questions.

I had a 95 zook on bundera diffs and 36's with coilovers and commy V6 and auto.
There was always atleast one small minded person who had tp lay shit on my rig for every person that had something nice to say
Just how it is i spose.
I have respect for anyone that drops that much coil on a sierra, and who shoehorns 44's under ( or in this case ......beside) one, so more power to ya.
Rear mounted radiator? Is the engine wired up yet?
Looks very well constructed, and I can't wait to see the action shots.
