Needed more power!!!

2000 Suzuki Esteem 1.6 16v.

30,000 miles w/ wiring, computer, etc. ~ $400 :mrgreen:

 

[spinach]

Spring over

Rock Sliders

 

[spinach]

More parts...

yota axles, disc brakes for the rear

coil springs

 

[spinach]

Fender trimming

I moved the axle 8" forward.

 

[spinach]

Testing it out...

Drove right over it. :thumb:

 

[whitetrashmafia4x4]

hell yeah dude that think is nice how easy was it to replace the stock axles with the yota ones :thumb: :thumb: :beer:

 

[spinach]

It was probably a little easier to do the Toyota axles than Dana 44s because the brakes and drivelines did not need much customization. But...it was still quite a bit of work for a guy with just a grinder and a welder.

Thats sweet I so miss my zuk :rotfl: :rotfl:

 

[AH]

Miss mine too. I think anyone that has had one misses it when it's gone.

 

[Rudezuk]

Pretty clean zuk there :beer:

Good choice on spring rates too!

With a winch on the front i might bump up the fronts to #200 in the future 8)

What material is your links made from??

Looks like 1.25" DOM??

You guessed it...1.25" .250 DOM.

Thanks, for all the comments. I love the Zuk!

For heavy rock crawling the 1.25" will not last....Id step up to 1.5" .250 on the lower links......The 1.25" is fine for the uppers but will bend on the lowers.


Get out and wheel that thing and post up some pics!

I've thought the same thing about the 1.25"...I'll probably upgrade after the first bent link.

Well you finally posted some pics! Nice progress! :thumb: That thing has come a long way! Now we just need to get it out and scratch and dent it a few good times. :finger:

 

[rodzillax3]

good job starting with the engine first ..looks like you had it all planned out

I miss my blue zuk more than the orange one...zukiless

 

[swiss]

Looks sweet! I remember when it was all stock and those trailer leafs gave you about 4" of travel! Looks real good and I like the streched wheelbase! I'm going to have a tough time keeping up now with you guys.

 

[mighty mouse]

hey wheres the pic of the rear pumpkin moved over? id like to see that since u had to move to boise

 

[Froad'r]

That looks great! How come you didn't push the rear axle out the back more? Good work on the suspension!

Thanks.

I didn't move the back axle back because at the time I didn't want to mess with moving the gas tank out of the way. I probably should've, but I wanted to get back to wheelin'!
