does anyone have or know where theres a pic of a zuki with OD green paint, preffer a hard-top so i can have an idea of what mine will look like after i paint it that color......
thanks :D

I've been thinking about doing the same color on mine for the longest time, but not really sure if I want to. My friend loves my Sammy the way it is and really doesn't want me to go OD green. If I do want it, I think I will do it tan. I used the paint program on the computer to see what it would look like; you could probably do the same thing with yours. Doesn't look great or anything, but it gives you an idea. I know Randy Ellis' is OD green, but he doesn't have too much body left. :rolleyes: ~Steve

mine's od green... but your gonna have to search to find it. :flipoff2:

thanks mr. cock.......:D ......... did you ever chop the top off? i think thats the color i want...... anyone else have OD??? and poppy, do you have any recent pics of your zuki?

i'm getting myself a shop here in the next month or so... :flipoff2: once i get in there i'm going to ditch the body and cage it up. been sidetracked from the truck lately. :(

been sidetracked from the truck lately

You know your slacking cause I think I'm about to pass ya, you better get on it.... I was plumbing the motor today.

Poppy,
I was going to stop by and borrow your axles:flipoff2:

what the hell is up with the shackles on this thing? it don't look like a S/R it looks as if theres a set of shackles in front and rear??? but thanks for the pics

He probably has shackles at both ends of the springs, and a link system to locate the axle front to rear. Not all that uncommon.

ok, just never seen that done before.......thanks for clearing it up yota-sam:D

It's not quite OD green but the closest i could find when I painted it (Rivergum Satin - Australian shed paint)

A low buck way to make a CSC style shackle reverse is to install a shackle to the stock front mount and then weld a plate between the frame and the shackle at the desired angle. Gusset as required. I have seen this done couple times, simple, cheap and looks nice.

Hey for a $100 it's worth it a shot. If it turns out to not be too reliable you can always get a Warn down the road. Then just mount it to be a rear winch where you only need it occasionally. :rolleyes:

it works great, very clean, it was on a ATV, yes its 6000lb. and the guy bought a plow and needed a power in and out to rais and lower the blade, its not that it won't be relibal just it looks like a big hug of $hit.......:D .....o well, it will help me alot....:D
