Shock hoops
Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2006 7:18 pm
Just a warning for people thinking of getting shock hoops, reinforce the chassis first!!
I got hoops on mine welded to the chassis on my weekend only zook. On the second 4wd trip out the driver side hoop ripped out of the chassis leaving 2 holes. ( careful where there welded to because mine was over the chassis number!!)
I then welded a large square to the chassis then the hoop to that and havent had a problem.
But over xmas I was driving on a rough tar road ( a year since the hoops put on with not much wheeling) when the passinger side ripped off.
So this can be easily fixed too but if the job was done right first it wouldnt have happened.
