Hello All,

I forgot to do the "hello" thing last week when I signed up, so here goes now...... ;)

My name's Bill and I live in a faraway place called Brasil. Maybe some of you know me from the other boards and lists, I'm on most all of them. I found out about this board on Pirate.

OK, about my Zuk. It's a 1998 factory coily that has been modified just a tad:

1.6 16 valve Swift motor
4,89 t-case
Dana 44 axles, 5,39 diffs, ARB front, Lockright rear
04 wheel discs
custom 4-link Fox Air Shox suspension
full hydro steering
38.5 x 14.5 TSL/SX on beadlocks
full cage
racing seats with 5-pint harnesses
stainless steel dash with full instrumentation
12000 lb front winch, 3000 lb rear winch
and lots of other crap.......

I'm working on a couple of projects now, the most significant being a Kick auto tranny / dual t-case setup.

That's about it........

:beer:

Thanks for the welcome everyone....... :beer:


I've got a comp next weekend, so we'll see if I've got the Shox adjusted correctly........ I lowered the nitro pressure and increased the oil volume, so now the rig sits low and is quite stiff. On my ramp, I get ballanced flex front to rear with almost full compression and full extension on diagonal corners, to within an inch. But the real world is a lot differente than a pose on a ramp......... :roll:

Welcome Bill, Sweet truck, judging by the flag tape in the one picture do you compete with it?

Hey Bill - good mud stuff here :D

Funny how the climate is different yet the mud is similar. Rain forest is rain forest, I guess.
