Here is the intermediate stage after stretching to 100" wheelbase, I like to call this the "Beverly Hillbilly" version

...and fully bastardized. I need to get a new pic, I'm further along now. No intermediate stages for me this time.
http://www.sonic.net/jkwaters/images/clipfront2.jpg

OK, I just feel left out so this is my soon-to-be badass. This is it's current condition, but give me a couple months and it is getting dual 60's, 4.3 V6, TH350, Dual Toyota cases, and 38x12.50 SX's. It'll be finished off in Specialized mtn. bike green with bright orange tribal flames. The Jeep in my garage should go home next week so I can FINALLY get started on my new toy. Looks tuff, don't it? I call it the cotton candy cruiser. Maybe I should leave the pink and blue pinstripes?

High 5 I hate to kill a man with his own words but I'll never forget this line:

Place: Upper Powerline
Time: Sometime after 1AM Feb 25
Said to: Shitneck

But this time it's from me to you

"You're the only one who smokes big B..... C... around here.

This Thing was abandoned in front of my house today,
Thinking about parting it out!! Might turn it into a jungle gym for my son. All i know is that the neighbors are starting to stare!!!!:usa: :usa:

I dont usually like to critisize or talk down other peoples shit, but that thing is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen. Also, I dont see how it could have a 100" wheelbase.

First, nut sack, your an ass, second, its not finished, third your an ass, fourth, it was built to be setup with and is gettin full width axles and 38.5's, fifth, it can get it unlike the pile of parts in your picture, sixth your an ass who doesn't appreciate true beauty:flipoff2:

now if you have ever seen my junk you would know what ugly really is

nuttzak,

I dont have a problem with you thinking that my shit is ugly. that is your opinion. no problem that is why we all do different things to our rigs. I like it and I am the one that wheels it. now that I think about it I may just put this dana 60 front and dana 70 rear and all the other shit that I got under a car that everybody hates. any suggestions? Maybe a 100" wheelbaseYugo?

But it is a 100" wheelbase and if it aint then I got about 7 or 8 tape measures around the shop that are lyin not only to me but hayraker , Gunracer and StillCrawlin and others.

Do the math since you cant come down here and measure it
for yourself
the frame has been extended in two places 3" out front
16" behind the T-case, I am also running CJ fronts in back with buggy leafs and sami rears up front

Hell the way I figure it, and I may be wrong but I am missing 2" somewhere.

But I aint callin anybody a liar you are :mad3:

THAT was the landing... I had just come up a hill that you can't see on the left. I got about 4 feet of clear air under the tires before coming down. A stock zook can do some wild sh!T too...

Dude, You mean that doesn't have hydro's:rolleyes:

It just isn't as funny the second time around...

Oh well...

I always used to get it in my stock zuk...:bender:

Hey skeetshoter, I wasn'y trying to call you a liar. It just didn't look 100" to me, not a big deal dude!

Ok nuttsack,
About being ugly well I have to admit that I was not pleased with the way that the pseudo-Jeep grill turned out and StillCrawlin and I have talked about it and He has got a line on a pair of headlights out of a new ford Taurus that will fit real well outside the 2 vertical tubes that the Jeep-like grill is now supported by. so plans are to do away with the current grill/headlight setup and do a more aerodynamic modern look but other than that I think that it is one cool looking rig, even if it is mine. I am very pleased with the way that it turned out. And weather you belive me or not I dont give a shit, I will tell you this, That other than one of my buddies givin me a hard time (Sami)
I have heard nothing but that it is one cool lookin rig.

But I am still thinking about putting the Ford 460 C6 D60 front D70Rear dual TCase setup under a 110" Yugo with 44" Boggers
Since all I need to complete the project are the tires and the Yugo. And if I build it they will cum. The women anyway

:D :D sounds interesting, the yugo that is. Hey, didn't mean to get your panties all bunched up about your rig. Where is evryone's pics????????POPPY!!!!

... I have a 13 B and yes I have manual turbo boost and yes i have the MAZDA racing flywheel the heaviest one out there..

I would like to do this too, theres one sitting in my yard begging to be molested, but everyone is saying how there wont be enough torque at idle or low rpm's to wheel good. What do you think Daniel? WIll the heavier flywheel and computer mod help that much in the torque dept? HOw much was the flywheel?

Daniel
Are you going to 6x6 the Suzi? I think that is a challenge that needs to be done

Here's my before, no after, cause I just got it! :D

...and my first project is...

So that's where all of that grey gear lube is coming from that is on my shop floor. :eek:

WOW!! Just one more reason to get those puny fuckin axles outta there. Time for some toy's or Dana's wouldn't ya say? LET this be a lesson to all with stockers. Before I gey ahead of my self, how did that happen?

big fawking jump
i have seen zooks jump some big shit, but that one must have been impressive.

Not sure what Daniel is building up there, but I'll try to answer this one. I'm doing a 13B 6 port.. No Turbo. I'll have more torque then anything Suzuki makes. So I think I'll be fine. Take a look at the torque from the rotary, especially the 6 port, and you might be surprised.

Those that say the rotary does not produce any torque are comparing it to larger piston engines. My 13B rates well when comprared to other N/A engines of about 2.6 liters.

The rotary has some nice features, and it also has its problems. Study the options, and make your own mind up. For me that happened to be the stock 13B this time around. Next time might be an Isuzu 3.2.. You never know. :)

See you in Moab! :emb:

Got toy axles waiting to go in. I have no idea how it happened, I just picked it up Saturday. I can tell you that the pinion is pointed way up, and that popped the u-joint, and I discovered that the RRO perch on the driver side broke, and the front half of it is missing...Pretty messed up. :eek:

Oh yeah, and there is a big hole in the top of the axle housing above that crack, I think the perch tore it...

BTW Nuttzack: I wanted to ask you about your plans for your rig: What are you planning to do in the rear, is it going to be all tube, or are you going to run some sort of wheelwell back there. If you see my post about aftermarket wheelwell tubs, I'm trying to figure if they'd work for the rear after trimming the wheel openings. :D

Thanks!

Actually, it scared the crap out of the guy with the camera... he didn't realize I was coming up the hill so close to him.

I'm doing a 13B 6 port.. No Turbo. I'll have more torque then anything Suzuki makes. So I think I'll be fine
I want to do the swap if my pops lets me have the engine, but its a 13b turbo. I know it has mass horsepower, but does it have less torque at lower rpms than the non-turbo 13b. Can I use the mazda transmission with the swap(I'm lazy)?

I want to chop the frame off behind the cab, but girlfriend is sick of waiting for it to get done and also there is lots of mud where I wheel, so right now I think I am just gonna fill in the wheel wells with some sheetmetal. THen maybe down the road tube it out. I dont know if the aftermarket wheelwell tubs would work, but it seems as if they would. DO you know the measurements of the tubs? thats all you need to know to figure it out. WHat ya got cooking for that thing?

Here's a before shot, this is after i put a S/R on it and got the hard top. Don't have any from when it was bone stock.

You can see a few other pics and read a bit about it at the website that i'm finally getting put back up.

Well, I was originally planning on just fixing the rear perches, welding the rear, taking the body lift out, and wheeling it this summer, but with the axle situation, now it's looking like it will be: Toy axles with 4:30 r&p spooled rear, 4.8 t-case, major sheet metal trimming, Fatkid cage:D, rear wheel tubs, YJs front and rear, and some 33" sxs or boggers. Don't know if I can do this by summer though! :eek:

And the measurements for the wheel tubs are on summit and Jeg's sites, check out my other post for the links, they have a few different sizes. :D

Glad this thread came up.. made me sit back and realize how far Suzi has come since Thanksgiving...
