Post by: ed oorklep on June 30, 2005, 03:19:28 AM

Here's a pic of where the first one went:

Doesn't look as bad as it was, I slid to the right drove that little pole all the way under the mud  :P and tried to get up that bank at least a dozen times (with the steering locked to the left). and when I was almost out It went bang and I had only RWD  ;)
This is how far I got out:

I'll take a pic of the result  ;) It went into the guy with the vit standing next to me on the camping because he only drove it to pull his sammy.
It was a real great weekend of wheeling with about 160 Suzuki's  ;D some more pics:

The highest vit of the netherlands, next to it mine (second highest) one 3" BL and 2" springlift and the last one 2" lowering springs.

So you guys have a pretty big Zuk event in the Netherlands huh?  That's really cool.  Looks like you had a blast.  160 Zuks!! pretty darn good.  Do you do this every year?(If I could only get my Sammi to the netherlands...I wonder if it's "ocean ready" ;D ;D)

Well it's not exactly a dutch event, It's a european, but there were about 50 dutch zuks there the rest was from other country's in europe  ;D
I knew I'd break something so that wasn't a problem  ;D
Upgrade time will be here soon enough  ;) And it was fun yes, lot's of beer and chit chat after the driving  ;D

As long as you had fun and didn't roll it. ;D
Try not turning you wheels so much when gassing it.

"WOW" :o
It was hard to tell it was an SAS from the previos pics but I had a thought it might be tho.
Nice tires ;D
Looks like a farm Tractor with those yellow wheels ;) ;D

Wheels come off of a Lada Niva, I believe there's only one in the US but here are many, the wheels are just on there because they were cheap  ;)
It is a SAS with a sammy front axle (broke the diff on the first hour he was playing  :o).
The tyres are 33" (I think a little taller because they are rethreads but didn't measure 'm) and they are Black Star Mud Max, a copy of the Simex tyres  ;)
He still has the original springs (front and rear) so the front is very stiff and it doesn't flex that well. I think it's lifted about 8-10 inches spring spacer only  :-/.
It looks mean but doesn't do what is expected, yet.
