Looks awesome, Brent. Definitely something you don't see everyday! I'm curious as to the reasoning behind the dual wheels...

. Shed some light on this for all of this if you would.

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

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

High5 · 03-11-2002, 08:49 PM

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

nuttzack · 03-11-2002, 09:32 PM

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

Trail Tough · 03-11-2002, 09:37 PM

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!!

fatkid · 03-11-2002, 09:53 PM

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

Trail Tough · 03-11-2002, 10:06 PM

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.

fatkid · 03-11-2002, 10:20 PM

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

Randyzuk · 03-11-2002, 10:55 PM

Let's hear some specs of this crazy monster!! Motor? Springs? Lockers?????

That is one insane sammy... I'd freak out if I saw it driving down the street

scwafish · 03-12-2002, 06:12 AM

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!

Rudezuk · 03-12-2002, 08:44 AM

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

aaronlosey · 03-12-2002, 09:18 AM

now all we need are some real action pics. u should have used 38x11 boggers

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.

RokHeep · 03-12-2002, 09:24 AM

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

UZI 9mm · 03-12-2002, 10:56 AM

better be careful, or you'll have "Terminator III" casting directors knocking at your door trying to borrow it for the upcoming flick

very neat looking, man!

Samit Patel · 03-12-2002, 11:52 AM

Brent
2 thumbs up to you.

One of the most different idea's i have seen.

It is very funny all the crazy/ wacky

idea's are performed on a Zuki
And changing the revolution of builting 4 wheeling rig.

(Will you be bring this rig to the con this summer. i would love to see it

)
love the look of the Grill

nuttzack · 03-12-2002, 04:52 PM

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

KEVZUKI · 03-12-2002, 05:02 PM

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.

CSR · 03-12-2002, 05:16 PM

Two words........

AWE-SOME!!!!!!!!

I want one!

T1H5_TA3 · 03-12-2002, 09:56 PM

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!

TANKOMA · 03-13-2002, 12:38 PM

Wow, that thing kicks ass

.... but IMO, it would be even sweeter with just 4 tires

Nice work!!!
