well,,,,,since i built the Z71 ive always dreamed about,,,,im ready for a new project. i bought a 87 zuki hard top at the junkyard with the top sawzalled off. i bought it cause my zuki needed a tcase and the motor and tranny in mine is shot. what i was thinking about doing is taking my 78 cherokee frame and shorteing it down to fit the zuki body. it already had dana 44s,,a 327(about to be EFI)th350 and a 208.then build a rollcage for it. i have some 38x12.50s on the frame. and have already done a spring over also.i beleive this would be a cool little trail rig and would cost much to build

I would outboard the front springs on the 'Zuki and just use the wagoneer drivetrain. It would be less work and alot less weight. Also I would not run the 208 it is big and heavy (yes I know its alluminum) I would get a dana 300 or similar
