Mike,
 Great undertaking so far.  I like the use of all Zuk parts.  Only one thing that raised my eyebrows though, in a "budget" build up, why does the word  >:(Calmini keep popping up? Was your main object to do an entire "do it your self" IFS Rockbuggy, or to keep the budget as low as possible, using aftermarket parts that cost $$ when it was deemed necessary?

My goal is to keep this project as cheap and simple as possible without sacrificing performance. The only thing I have bought from calmini is a 4 to 1 (which I dont think I even put in the artical) and the Anvil which I think is deemed Necessary with 35s. My objective is definatly not to write a "do it yourself" artical. This is only for entertainment purposes. Mainly mine! Im just sharing the experience cause I thought people might enjoy seeing something different from the standard bolt on tech. I also wanted to prove that a tracker can be built just as radical as a sami, without swapping in a straight axle.

NOW UP DATED
Just sweet A looking.
Nice way to recycle the hood
So, Are ya gonna do a PreRunner style suspinion now?

I love how the chopped and flat decked tracker kicks look but at the end of your build is it gonna be street legal as well?

All we are planning is to install is the Anvil, upgraded CVs, gas tank cover, Run rear brake lines, Re-install the seats, and paint it. Im sure their are a lot of little odds and ends that always pop up at the end of a project. No custom IFS for this one.  

Looking great Mike. Good to see you'll are not getting 'picky' like the last update That thing is looking bad ass. As much as you'll like getting air, are you'll going to weigh it out at the end of the build and try to balance the weight out, or just fly her and see how she lands?

I figured Id wait till you come up next and have you jump it... I will watch, see what went wrong, and make adjustments then.





Seriosly we are making a spare tire carrier for the longer runs like moab. If the rear is too light for jumping then we can always add a spare for better balance.

You and me both, I've got a doner truck 94 2wd, 36" TSl SX's and a Trans T-case & Kicker III (on the way)...   Now I just need to make some room and finish up a few loose ends on some other projects.   Can't wait to see and read about it in action...

Comming soon to a website near you.   I hate to be such a tease but it turned out better than I had ever hoped. I cant say much more than that.  

Mike

Come over here, Mike. I've got a few Washington's for you. Stop the teasing like such and just show us what you got. Use the pole in the middle and don't forget the mirrors in the back.
