Currently has had minimal work done to it, but upgraded perches and steering.

Toyota axles are currently being built to go under it. Stock drive train for now.

Way cool to see another Zuk build. In my experiences, the weber 32/36 suck, they seem to stall out at angle pretty easy. I've heard there is a mod you can do to them to help remedy it, but I've never done it. I always just do diesel swaps haha. That thing looks way cool with the top chopped open though!! Can't wait to see how this turns out!

I was given the carb, and it was the easiest route to be able to drive it to satisfy my need to wheel it. It was better than rebuilding the Hitachi haha. I may end up putting a 4.3 Vortec in it in the future, but for now the ole powerhouse 1.3 will do.

I have a big mikuni. (Like 50mm). That was a hot swap when I worked at Rocky Road like 15 years ago.

I did not realize that you worked at RRO... That must've left you with some stories. Were you there when Glen pioneered the 'Jeep Eater' kit on my sami and used grade 3 bolts on my steering knuckles? #goodtimes

Is that the one where they used 3" coilovers springs as coils?
I'm sure that was before I was there.
I was just customer service. I heard rumors that they used some low grade bolts for mockup then forgot to switch them out. So long ago it's faded my mind.

I had only just met you in Moab with Rob when you had the chopped blue 4runner and some time around when your crazy girlfriend kidnapped your truck.
