A Tintop hugh? That's cool but with you I know it won't have any sheetmetal for more than a week :). Are you going to build up a DD/light trail rig?

Nah im not going to drive it all the time, building it up to have another trail rig though....

Yeah a tin top...Something different, ive always liked them.

Plan on tube front fenders, toy axles, 35's or so...6-8:1 tcase, power steering, and then a cool exo:D Need to have room for all of those kids:D

Tintops are sweet :D Especially in the cold weather. Makes snow/mud wheeling a blast. Then when you get in the rocks it makes it a bit more fun in the 'don't want to smash up the sheetmetal toooo bad game' :D :D Get the heater going good and it makes a world of a difference. :flipoff2:

Glenn said they would be available in December...

Hrmm.. I'm sure Glenn wouldn't do that to boost sales just before Christmas.. as I'm sure he's taking pre-orders now would he?

Probly 6 months or more out.. I'm fucking sick of Zuk vendors.

I saw that one too, price was good. Congrats! With kids you REALLY need a LWB. You guys will have Ambers rig too though. I still need to make a little trailer, I never made it to get Samit's.

Rudezuk

01-09-2004, 10:58 PM

Yeah i like you LWB scwa.!!, but amber and I will each have a zook now and i still have my little trailer:D

Hopefully you'll still have both for the twins when they get old enough.. :D

Hey, why don't you get DSI's RingR/Tranny/D300 and put it in one?

I like all of the zuk stuff...all of that is way to damn heavy!

Im not going to stretch the rear end much at all..

01-10-2004, 08:22 AM

Double zuks with a trailer should be plenty of space. Are you going to tow all of that up there? That would be one big trailer!

Rudezuk

01-10-2004, 09:05 AM

I could fit 2 rigs on one 24' trailer!! not too much longer than what i have now!
Ill probably do that too:D

Glad to see that you stayed on the ZUK side. It would be a shame to loose such a awesome zuker. Did you keep some of the stuff from you old rig to put on this one or did you sell it all? Some of that stuff could come in handy.

This rig will be very very cool when I am done with it...

Very nice!

Im liking this one so far...

I picked it up saturday morning, and it runs good, has a few dings here and there....and it has been flopped on its side once...

Nothing big, but there is a dent in the windshield frame, but that will be covered up by some tubing:D

Got some toy axles for it already, and a power steering setup for it....Im working on some other parts:D

No doubt. It's a joke with me and some others to see how many years the following quote from his website will stay there....

"Toyota pages are under construction.

Check back this Summer and we should have it up and running.

Awesome goodies for your TOY!!!" :flipoff2:

HOLY NUTS!!! Dood,.....didn't you see my post looking for pictures of rigs with exo-cages???? I sifted through tons of pics. but none of them were what I was thinking,.......yours is exactly what I was looking for (well, a good starting point at least)

Rob Storr was showing me the first batch of finished 8:1's at Christmas. They should be onroute by now if not there already. The was a slight delay because Rob mangled his hand in a grinding machine. Some of the gears may have a bit of blood and tendons on them!

Didn't see anything about a warranty for the 8:1 's , only for the 6:1's . Who's going to break in the first set of 8:1 's . Let me know how they work.
