Go half doors

Why not take the winder off and refit it in a position where it doesn't hit your knee say the 10 or 11 o'clock position.


real boobies are so much nicer.

Half doors would be great(less weight) but how do you wind the window up when its raining? jas

It doesn't rain (hardly ever)

went out yesterday and nearly put mine on it's side and my mum has a HUGE PURPLE broise on her leg from the door handle!

I had half doors with the canvis windows and stuff but i went full doors. If any one is after them give us a yell would be cool if you wanted to chop then into the lower style half doors!

I got a rolled up cushion cable tied to my door handle, not just to protect knee, also got tired of buying new winder handles

Take doors off

Haha my mums farken Excel's winder is like that with my knee, noice solution!

i do it all the time... you get some funny looks in car parks. the zook horn isn't extremely impressive either

i got a air horn best mod yet

I'm 6'2" on seem to fit OK
Have not done a long trip yet, reckon it's gonna kill my bung knee
I need to stop, get out and stretch evey hour in a Falcadore or it locks up

Trucks of the road so I been driving mums Carolla, stepping up getting out is awkard

when I first got my Zook, I use to bang my right elbow on the window or door. Now I just steer with left hand and steady with my right.
Have any 6 footers tried mounting the seat further back ?

not broken knee cap but broken knee...

y dont you just modify your seat rails so your seats sit furthrer back

G'day all.
My 6'2" frame has been comfy in the Zook ever since I installed an old pair of real bucket seats (deep sides, non-reclining) 15 years ago, on custom fabricated mounts. The mounts are bolted to the original body locations but moved the driver's seat back about 10cms.

Reach to the steering wheel was taken care of by a SAAS wheel, smaller diameter than original and with a deeper 'dish' that puts it a smidgin closer to hand.

My longest non-stop drive (apart from fuel stops of course) is Mandurah to Shark Bay, just on 900 kliks, and we recently took it through a week of touring the Murchison goldfields, including the "back road"from Sandstone to Meekatharra - my knee never touches the winder and I don't finish a trip with my legs permenantly bent like a grasshopper!

I'm currently using the original steering wheel while I re-do the leather on the SAAS wheel, a bit more of a reach but no problem. If you're 6'and over, it's a good modification, easy too.

Cheers - Longbaser.

Im just over 6'4" and bulky, i fit in zooks fine with the seat right back, dont hit my head or anything. Its a suprisingly good fit.
