onto the front end as of today, hood trimmed up and lower shock mounts tacked in, the diff is way foward and the top of the shocks will be on the front corners of the hood, so gotta try work out how to make it look half decent..

any ?s flame away :grinpimp:

 

[yarmish]

Badass..What are the specs?

FJ60 housing are great, especially that 9"+ ring and ctr pinion..

looking good..

ive built a couple other zuks, but they have been street regoed, this my first attempt at sumthin like this, as for an atlas i havent got the dollars for 1 of them to be landed here, plus i dont think its needed,all the fab work for the transfers was done by myself at work so it didnt cost me anythn!, all the brackets i fabbed up cut out my self, aint got acess to a laser cutter lol.
some specs that i can remember,
105-106"? wheelbase
1.6 injected vitara
3spd gm auto (early vitara)
choped vitara transfer
sierra transfer with 6.5 gears
fj60 diffs , 4.11 ratio i think,with arb lockers
37" bfg stickies
trail gear beadlock alloys
longs up front, drive flanges
poly perf rear axle shafts
psc 2.5" ram and res
14" x 2.5" foas up front, 16" in the rear
4" foa bumps up front

just went of pics of here and the internet lol, figured the rest out, wasnt that hard to do!

 

[zukiscoot]

good work!there are so many good ideas in this thread.the cage design is definitely one of a kind.

 

[Longfield]

Nice job mister good clean work.:smokin:

 

[WOODZUK]

cool build,subscribed

 

[bazooked]

startin to get sumwere with the frontend now , runnin out of gas tho will have to get another bottle tomoz :mad3:

 

[bazooked]

flexed her up, no binding on the shocks at all, only on the front shaft at the centre bearing , added sum more tube on the front and a place for the cheapo chinese winch when it gets here then spent most of the day welding the front end up, got to notch the front bar to take the bumps and shorten the stroke on the bumps to 2", then next is the gussets and sume more tube around the place then thats the cage pretty much done.

 

[lilsami]

Killer rig, you have done some killer fab work.

 

[bazooked]

bit more tube never hurt
