For those of you who are interested, here are the latest pics of our Dually Rock Buggy! :eek:

Another...

Looks awesome, Brent. Definitely something you don't see everyday! I'm curious as to the reasoning behind the dual wheels... :confused: . Shed some light on this for all of this if you would. :) ~Steve

Check out the viewports in the floor boards! What are you running for a rear axle?

That thing is COOL!

all it needs is an Asian Auto Parts windshield decal....LOL

looks sweet but what is the over all width outside of tire to outside of tire?

That thing looks fucking nutts!!! Hey brent what spring rate did you use with those coils?

Hi -

Overall width from outside to outside tire is 82". The purpose of 8 tires is to achieve the stability and width of a full size type axle without the big span between the insides of the tires, which causes the axle to get high-centered or hung up on everything. Also, I end up with a better contact pressure and pattern on uneven surfaces. The vehicle can be changed back to a conventional wheel set up in minutes but I wanted to give this experiment a 'spin' at least for comparison sake!!

It's kind of wacky, tell us about the axles and the gears.:)

Hi Fatkid -

Well, it has our custom Big Suz-Ana axles front and rear with 5.63's and ARB's. It has a 6.129:1 transfer case, a panel of switches for the selection of circle steer, side steer, rear steer only, and front 2 wheel low only. It has 4 wheel disc brakes, and cutting brakes.

that sounds trick! I heard a little about the axles a few monthes ago, what's the real story.:)

Let's hear some specs of this crazy monster!! Motor? Springs? Lockers?????:confused: That is one insane sammy... I'd freak out if I saw it driving down the street:beer: :beer:

Very cool! I'm not used to the dually thing quite yet but cheers to you for trying something really different, especially when its setup to change if it doesnt work. The tube work looks nice, heck I even like the colors!

Looks pretty sweet brent! Cant wait to see it this year at SOR!

now all we need are some real action pics. u should have used 38x11 boggers :D that would have been sweet. i am curious how it works though. i would think it would be too wide and expensive, killing the obvious reason you get sami in the first place .

really though, hats off for creativity and actually building it. i would really love to see it in action. it looks sweet, and as you wheel it and refine it i'm sure it will only get better.

Kickass Job Brent! Good to see you never stop innovating for the Suzuki crowd! :) :beer:

better be careful, or you'll have "Terminator III" casting directors knocking at your door trying to borrow it for the upcoming flick:eek: very neat looking, man!:) :beer:

Brent
2 thumbs up to you. :bounce2:
One of the most different idea's i have seen.:eek:
It is very funny all the crazy/ wacky :rasta: idea's are performed on a Zuki
And changing the revolution of builting 4 wheeling rig.:jeep:
(Will you be bring this rig to the con this summer. i would love to see it :D )
love the look of the Grill :D

SO when are ya gonna tell us the spring rate on those coils, BRent??? And while your at it how long are the links? Did you use heims, bushings, or johnny joints? THanks alot! If you ever reply that is:flipoff2:

Fawkin killer!!! , that thing is sweet. . you guys did a great job on it. I like to orange paint , now all it needs are flames.

Two words........

AWE-SOME!!!!!!!!

I want one!

and i thought i had to much to drink!lol..

that things almost worth driving downt to or. to see it in person! now if only i didnt have all this beer to drink this weekend!

Wow, that thing kicks ass:eek: .... but IMO, it would be even sweeter with just 4 tires:p
Nice work!!!;)

:grinpimp:

Now I get it. At first i thought having duallys was going to work against it but if you let the outside tyres down to 0 and the inners to about 5 you will have awesome grip with the outers against walls etc with the stability lent by the inner set.

Now we need to see action shots

What happens when you start picking rocks up by wedging them between the tires? That can't be good on even super-tough sidewalls.

That's what I was thinking. I know I have this problem with my dually tow rig sometimes. :beer:

Very bad-ass!

Ya what Oil said, lets see it on the trail.

i wonder if you can get a sami with 8 tires to flex the side walls at ANY air pressure.

He can run them an negitive PSI. That way he could also be the first one with an onboard VAC! :rasta:

Hi All -

I have to apologize for Brent not answering your questions. He has been working from 7 am to midnight every night the last 10 days or so getting this buggy ready for Moab next week! Today he is at the muffler shop overseeing the installation of it's custom 2" exhaust. He has had NO time to look at the bulletin boards. As soon he has time, I will "make" him pay attention to your questions. Hope to meet alot of you in Moab and we WILL be posting some action shots from the Zukfari when we get back on April 1st. That reminds me - We will be closed from March 22nd until April 1st for the event.

Thanks for your patience,

Linda
