SAMI : REAR SHOCK RELOCATION

The Zuk is still using stock Monroe shocks, which are very short and are bottoming out since I did the spring over axle flip, due to the shock mount moving from the bottom of the axle to the top.

The photo shows the shock fully extended at ride height...so not much flex!

Also the shocks are bad.

So time to make a new shock mount relocated to the bottom of the axle. This will allow for longer shocks, which should give more travel.

The plan is to use a spring perch I had knocking around in the garage, cut one side off, cut that side in half, sandwich a bolt between them and weld it all to the bottom of the axle.

...just need a longer bolt.

SAMI : EXPLORATION DAY - MT UNIAKE TO TANTALLON

Matt took us through Mt. Uniake to Tantallon as the bird flies, which turned out to be some of the best wheeling I've been on.
There were tight trails, gnarly off camber hills, ruts & rocks, mud holes, crazy drop offs and off cambers sections. Some rigs made it with broken 4WD, others with only 2 wheel brakes.

What a day, thanks Matt!!!
