must have been towing the zuk backwards for some reason...completly logical reason

i want coils n a solid front diff under mine da black n silver 1 at da top

a dude at my work has this rugger in his back yard not doin a lot these days.... toyota diffs on lifted springs with custom driveshafts etc..2.8 diesel turbo.. seems too stiff in the suspension though... still, thats the one i know of..

can you put me in touch with this guy i wouldn't mined havin a few words with him

Not bad guys . . thats mine. . . will get pic on in nxt few days

you buy the thing i posted up aza?

umm nope not the 1 up there^^^

I will show when my membership goes thru. . like the kermet green 1

it was me that bought Stu's one nibbs .
picked it up and straight into shed onto axle stands and striped off the bits i didnt want on it .

want to do SOA and prob use old lux rears in the front or the ones in it but remove some leaves and do same in rear ..

maybe dont know how many leaves i can take out safely without them snapping .

cause it would look funny lowered onto swampers ..
any one in chch done a SOA on a rug ??

If you want to do coils, research it abit, then think of all the advantages, then sit down and do it properly. If you want it done fast, then stick with leaves.

too impatient to do coils ..

havnt got it dirty yet and got a couple of hunting trips coming up soon so want to get it back on the road asa funds allow...

got my rugger already with the exhaust done so dont know sorry.

Um yea i'd show but duno how 2 chuck pics on here. . lol

2.8 non-turbo deisel,
custom pvc pipe snorkle
extended spring hangers 3"
running 31x10.5 pirrelli muds (just a bit too wide tho)



things to come are:
hilux rear springs all round
wheel spacers 20mm (so tyres clears chassie and springs on full lock)

does it go much better than your other truck with the the solid axel? wot motor has it got?

Is this track easy to find/follow? Might try it next weekend.

Cheers

yeh it is just go out to berrick and turn up shaws road. theres a side track on the right on the way up that doesnt have wire/gate across it go down that. the trak then hooks off that to the left. follow it to the end then turn right and follow your nose allong the main forestery road, till it cums to a t intersection take a left there and just follow your nose from there the trak runs along the side of the road out to mahinerangi. wot date you going i may be keen to tag along

Will head through on Sunday (this coming) if others are keen to come along, otherwise it will be about Wednesday
