Nice looking low and stable rig.

Loving the amount of pics too. Terrain looks fun where you are.
Thanks! Its definitely a neat spot where I am, theres a mix of all terrains available, within a 40min radius. I'm spoilt.


Here's some pics of my previous Sierra that got half chopped up and scrapped... big life regret.

I've gained quite a bit of clearance!

Straight down droop. Unfortunately the pack is too soft, I'll have to get some more hilux leaves to play with.

On wheels. Still some final welding and spring tweaking to go.

I didn't measure it actually.. Hopefully not too tall.

Well I'm gobsmacked. And a little confused too, how many zooks do you own? The white one looks like my old SJ...sold now and a huge regret like yours. The green one is pure Suzuki hard core porn. Wish we could get away with that kind of build...but the laws here must vary an awful lot. Chassis mods require independent testing and those guys are STRICT! Keep up the amazing work matey.
If it ticks over...leave it

I own two zooks. One is the Sierra in this thread and I have a Vitara which I'm currently driving.

The green one isn't mine, I just navigate for it and put most of the work into it.
It's not legal to drive on the roads or anything, just on private property and competition.

Got around to flexing it up.
It worked out well. I haven't touched the front yet, hopefully I'll end up with more roll stiffness in the rear than front.

Nice work! Looks like you don't need to cut much out on the rear arches either.
