Building from a Hendrix Z Chassis
Here's my official writeup for my build. My concept was that I don't know crap about Zuk or Toy and all of this would be from research. The other part was that Toy and Zuk are cheaper to build and maintain than a Jeep which I currently have built. I don't have a bender and cannot do that kind of math easily nor many measurements I'm just specially challenged that way so a pre built chassis allowed me to do this project on my own without asking for a lot of favors from friends. My build was very here's what I want and here is what falls in my lap for cheap. So after looking and waiting I found a guy who broke his arm and was being deployed soon. He couldn't finish the project in time and had to sell everything. This is how the listing read:
Hendrix Samurai chassis this is number 1
87 samurai frame all running gear and floor with firewall plus hood and cowl
engine is complete without carb no fuel tank or fuel lines
2 - fox 16” airshocks, 2” tubing, tube adapters, Johnny joints and all brackets for front suspension.
All steel required to extend the frame
Fj60 steering box
Toyota axles front and rear with extra set of axle shaft for both.
Plus other misc items
Here's what I came back with plus a lot of other stuff including a lot of steel and toy front and rear axles. I decided to go wider later.
