Well, today is the day. Was driving the zuk down a deer trail with my daughter and went to put it into 4x4x and bam! T-case explodes!!! Instead of installing the brand spankin new 6:1 I have had since Aug, I'm just gonna part it out and finish up the new rig.

Adios my friend, you've been a great zuk!!! :beer:

dam... can you say fangs?:flipoff2:

Dude I wouldn't part it out! I would put a new case in it and sell the bitch out rite!


Hay you selling the 6 to 1 case????

So did you figure out what happened? Sounds like it wasnt the bushing.... How was the walk home? :flipoff2:

Throw it on e-bay.
That's in too good of shape to part out.

I would like to have it and swap my stuff over on it.
Mine doesn't have a straight piece sheetmetal on it.

My, how deceiving that pic is. The fender flares have sheet metal screws holding them on, The rear corners are missing (rot from PA road salt) hence the daimond plate. And you can see through the rear wheel wells. The hood has a big crease from a "I guess I forgot to latch it!) incedent. The tailgate is trashed yada yada yada..... The doors are great though!!!! :rolleyes:

Anyway, the wheels, seats, engine, and lights will make the swap to the new zuk. Can't wait to get the coils done!!!

Yea, that was then. They are a little shorter now. :flipoff2: That is how it came from the previous owner. Real smart guy!:rolleyes:

See, you should have stayed home and worked on the OTHER rig and that wouldn't have happended! That is why I work on mine so much and wheel it so little :D You can't break it if its in the driveway. Poppy taught me that :flipoff2:

howdy,
i have an extra t-case with 12mm flanges sitting in the garage. and off hand just how bad is the body tub. i'm left with nothing but rust in mine.

Jim, I have to welcome you POR Style ya Newbie :flipoff2: :D :flipoff2: :D :flipoff2:
Glad to see you over here.

Man, that tub is GARBAGE!!! That was the whole reason for my new project. (it is originally from PA) I actually bought it (the one i'm building) to do the tub swap but decided to just build the one I got from the salvage yard instead. I know where there are a few tubs in great shape in a few bone yards around here. If you want I'll see about price.

howdy,
if you could get me some prices. i've been here for awhile, not just much for posten over here. but shite if i wanted some :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2: , i'd go punch my neighbor, after he opened the door. the worst part of all this rust is the fact that i have gotten alot of DP done in the last couple weeks before i found all the :mad: rust. i just guess that PA and OH are the same with salten the roads. but shite i've been salten roads the last 2 days at work.

Besides, you don't want me to fix that thing. It's the zuk with the 5:38's that you are waiting on. Now if I can find a day off I can pull those things out and ship them to you!!!

howdy,
well i guess i can just tell you to :flipoff2: the thing. if you got anything else to get ride of let me know. oh i don't need the rock rails.
