Title: Finished my truck! Edit: Now with photos
Post by: Crabzuki on August 17, 2004, 05:40:08 AM
I will post photo's later of my truck but it is finished with some mods including the front ARB bumper with Warn 8000 lb winch. I found another way to take my Zuki to the next level {Electrostatic Powder Coating} so I'm contemplating on going hog ass wild with it like coating the diamond plate interior... We'll see just how far I can go without pissing off the ole' lady about the money I sink into this truck. So far after talleying the costs I sit at a mere $11,500.00 not bad since the truck now only has 3,000 original miles on it and I initially paid $50.00 for the truck.  8)



Edit: Here's the photos of my truck.

Is there a typo in here somewhere ??? You paid $50 for a Zuk with 3,000 original miles :o If so, you spent $11,450 in mods :o :o :o Don't tease us, POST PICTURES ;)

No its not a typo, but you did mis-read it...it has 3000mi now...when he bought it (yes for $50) it had something  less than 3000mi  ;)

Yep, it's almost perfect...

needs some body lips to make it all come together.

Go to your local home improvement store and buy some wide rubber door trim. (cheapo) .. and then use some self tapping screws and cover up those spaces you can see between the body and the frame in your wheelwells.

:)

But other than that.. it looks great.

Almost perfect, all you need is some mud, dents and scratches ;D

Looks sweet, most Bull Bars I have seen look to big for the vehicle thay are mounted on, but that one looks GOOD 8) :o 8)

Are those true duals, or just cosmetic? Did you have to move the fuel line to run the exhaust out the passenger side? How does it sound?

That's an actual fully functional dual exhaust I used the room above the fuel tank that would have been used to raise the tank. The exhaust is backed with a glass pack and ZERO emissions not even the O2 sensor or the computer for that matter is hooked up. Legally in my area I don't have to have all that stuff, And as for sound it sounds like a Suzuki Katana with a Vance & Hines exhaust  tune to it.  8)

Cool, I was wondering. I looked at doing a dual when I had my exhaust repaird a few weeks ago. But I would of had to run the passenger side right beside the fuel line. So I stayed single.

Post by: Zukipilot on August 19, 2004, 05:06:56 AM

I know what you mean about true duals Heather...for true duals you'd have to have a 4 into 2 header or two 2 into 1 headers with the dual exhaust pipes running back from there...I like the idea of the trick duals and have thought about it myself for mine except that I'd run both pipes straight out the back on the outside of the frame rails.

Great looking truck!

Did you split the header? (That makes for a great sounding exhaust... sorta like Harleys running in stereo.  :D )

Oh... and where did you get the buckets? They look perfect for a 4WD.

Nope I split it off just after the glass pack. As for the buckets I went here http://www.racing-seats-usa.com/20301.html they even had the seat brackets...note: not cheap.  8)
