hey guys yea update coming soon been working on it today,mounted the front hydro bumpstops and started the front panard,also choped all the weak factory front cross member and replaced it with some 65x65 RHS so theas a bit of strength for the bar work and winch. pics to come. and as for the 40s rick from 4wd accesiories here in christchurch is sorting it all out for me

Checked out 4wd accessorys. They have some good prices on Maxxis Trepador 37" & 40" oh how I want 40s. Still have to much life yet In my zuk's 36s simex's to change.
keep the picks comming.
I think once you are running 40's you jump from zuk to monster truck.

ring rick and have a chat hes always willing to help out,from memory they were around $800 a tyre for treps in a 40 but that was a while ago now,decided ta go with the swamper as they are a bit cheaper and are readyly available (as in they dont have to make them to order)

these pics of the truck are with it lifted up to the max hight that the limit strap will allow.so no its not the actual ride height,ride height will be about half what the pics show
