sweet stats on this thing man what kinda suspension setup you gonna do?
 
Its got XJ leaves front and YJ's in the rear with 2x4 .250 wall square tubing frame extensions. I wanted to keep it leaf sprung for the reason of it was a low budget college build. It was fine with the 1.3l and 36's, but time will tell with the new power plant and axle wrap issues. I foresee it getting linked in the next year or so. Just wanting to get it back out on the trails for now!

Here is what it looked like on the 36" tsl's...

Yeah linking mine and everything was alot more expensive and time consuming than I thought, which is why it has taken me almost 4 yrs lol.
 
I know links are the thing, but the leaves just flat out work on this rig... I was skeptical at first, but they are soft, flexy, and just flat out work. It amazed me every time i'd take it out what it did. If your out there and you're building a zuk... Wheelbase stretch is your friend... at 100" i couldn't believe how stable it felt and how much it liked to climb...

Don't get me wrong though.. i've been drooling over ORI's, aluminum links and about 10-12 more inches of wheelbase... but by that time ill prob. just throw the drive train in a tube chassis and throw my zuk hood, cowl and windshield on it.
