Scottie's Zuke. Blue

Cheers Terry

There's no bad noises but.........I think I'm going to swap over to some standard rubber bushes instead of the poly ones for the engine and transmission mounts, they are a little bit too hard I think and It makes it quite noisy inside

Could really do with a lengthened rear prop looking at it as well but Trotter is knocking me up a spacer as a temporary solution I need to head over to see my old boss and borrow his lathe eventually.

It's hard to tell if the carb has given the engine a bit more power to be honest as the gearing has been raised from 4.1 in the diffs to 3.73 since I last had it on the road. the 4.1 SJ410 diffs don't fit the samurai axles it has fitted now. It does pull quite well and feels like it has plenty of torque. I might source some 3.9s from an sj413 to go in as the gearing feels a little bit too high at the moment on road.


And Dan be quiet

Well not an update as such but I've just spent the last 2 lunch times fixing all the broken picture links what a mission! was good to look back through all my build pics though!

Told u it was good fun

[ScottieJ]

Was a nightmare though working out what pics went in certain places! It's facebook a fault! I used to host them all in there and I guess when they changed the photo set up it changed all the URLs, luckily the last few numbers stayed the same

i remember you said you zuk is a VBJA, do you have any pics of the co nversion to the rag top? or what was done to do it, just interested in how the conversion is done...

[ScottieJ]

I bought it after that was done, it was only cut into a soft top as it was rolled. I hope you aren't thinking about cutting the roof off your SJ would make more sense to sell it and buy a soft top as soft tops are more common and it would save a lot of work.

i was just interested, im not doing anymore chopping on my zuk lol, just thinking about buying another zuk in the future maybe and doing bits to it, just ideas really...
