the last few days i have put in alot of hours in the garage and here is a few pics of the results,lot more work to do but i have some progress to show. im new to the area i live in and dont know anyone who wheels or had bent tube or anything like that so it is hard for me to stay on task when there is no one coming over drinking my beer and talking shit.

guess i could give some specs on the rest of the turd,105 wb,flipped xj leafs in the rear,6.5s,4.88s,38sx,motor all stock,this time last year it was a bare frame a pair of toy axles and a pile of tube,had it togther at 95in wb leafs in the front,liked it but i tore off a shock mount and bent a leaf,i had most of the parts to link it and go full hydro laying around so i went for it.
the hf kinker in the corner is just for bending lower links,all of the cage and front tubes are bent on my pt105(just so i dont get flamed for having a kinker in the one pic)

here is a few from when it was on leafs in the front, the wb was 95 the tires are the same worn out 38sx,trying to find some 37 stickys.
this rig is alot of fun for the money i have in it.
it is a 4 seater the expanded metal in the back is for the kids (4 and 9) the first thing they did when i put them back there was put there hands out side the rig after i told them not to. im a little limited on space but can get all the tools/spares i want to cary with some creative packing.
the cage looks a little tall but im 6'3" 230 and i only have 4ish inches of head room with my helmet on.

kids only in the rear it is not to bad,but could be better
my other buggy should be done in 18ish months (if i have enough money/time)that one will be much better.

what up dude,thanks
im not using any of the stuff i got from big bobby except the motor,he had every thing fawked on that thing i got from him,i took it in the ass on that deal. the datsun truggy was a cool rig but i wanted a zuk.
i figured out why he was breaking tcases. other than the loose bolts every where,he had 4.37 in the front and 4.10 in the rear:shaking: he said that there was 6.5s in it and it had 4.16:shaking: that guy pissed me off on that deal but whatever.
i heard you sold your rig? or did you get another we should get together and do some wheeling in fj.

oooh that makes sense hahaha ya i knew he only had 4.16 in there i told him that i redid the case for him the first time and for 6.5s u have to grind the case his was still stock. ya i wouldnt have used anything of his either. no i still have it i just got a new case for it and a new snatch from myron at zuks offroad i put a samurai motor in again but this ones got hi comp pistons low end cam and other goodies. im just tring to save up for some hd front axles my birfileld exploded! so u know nayone with some long fields or dirty 30s for sale? thats the last piece to get mine going again.
