Hey Mike - how about an update on the RockStar
« on: October 11, 2006, 12:35:56 AM »
Hi Mike,

How has the "Rock Star" being going lately?

If you do not mind, how about a full list of all the existing mods on your rig  :)
Eg: Tyre size , drive train etc etc

Thanks in advance.

The Rockstar is going into the shop tonight for a major reworking. Theres nothing wrong with it but I just want to see if I can make it better. Im cutting the firewall and moving the engine backwards 10 inches to help balance it better. No matter what I do I cant seem to get it to jump. It now has 39.5 Pitbull rockers on 15x15 inch wheels with Sky bead locks. I Think having the motor further rearward will also help with steering ease. Im cutting the stinger off the front and moving tward a zero aproach angle. Im going to extend the rear to make room for a 3rd seat and Im adding a narrowed tailgate like Chunks Dark star. Im going to add sides to it that look like doors but they will be tubework with panelling over it. I like having no doors but recently Ive seen some pretty nasty crashes that have shown me the value of side pertection. Ive got a few other goodies being added too. ;) I will elaborate on this after I retrive some photos I lost during my recent computer crash. I might have these by later today.

The suspension mods and motor moving I hope to have completed by the 20th. Were planning on going wheelin that weekend. The rear extend and 3rd seat will be after we get back. I might just skip out on that trip and get all of it done at once. Either way by the end of the month it will be done.

Well heres the deal. As stated in the other thread I started

http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=14260.0

I am combining the orange rig and the Rockstar. Actually a lot of the orange rig is going into the rockstar. The new front suspension that I just did the writeup on, 9 inch, 16valve, wireing harness, grille (momento), among other little odd and ends.
