Powerram Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Here is something that usually doesn't go with my regular line of lead foot redneck rigs, but my new trail weapon has a 1.6l , fits in the back of my truck and only seats 2. Here is a teaser pic to keep up suspense lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerram Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 OK, here is a pic of the of the ZUK. I put some time in on this rig, I bought it , then sold it to my buddie, helped him some with it, and now it is coming back to me. Some details, 5.13:1 gears, Lincoln locked rear, stock Jeep YJ springs still sprung under, 1.6L engine , Harley Davidson 44mm screaming Eagle Carburetor, Plexiglass glass side windows in the cap, AUDI Leather seats, fuel cell, 33"tires, and some other Doo dahs, overall it works pretty good, and fits in the bed of my FORD. I got a few things to do to it to bring it back up to reliable daily driver standards, but plan for this to be my fuel sipper. I also got a complete parts rig I might do something with for just strictly off road use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahahaha, I haven't not fit with my full size trucks yet lol, working in deleting my fender flares and widening the steel panels on the ford so they will just dent, not rip off broken plastic junk. This rig will be a learning curve like my CJ was, looking forward to it, but u Jeep guys and gals won't like my windshield banner bahahaha. It's all in fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerram Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Had it running today, it's what I expected, the last time this was driven , it was mudbogged in a clay pit, and just parked and not cleaned at all. pulled the starter and it was just a hole where the starter came out. Solid clay filled the bell housing. So messed with starters, eventually pulled one off the parts rig I picked up today, it's not a great starter either. Got it to crank and she fired, but engine is noisy and underpowered. Drove it ariund the yard , even though the clutch is packed with mud, not going to make it any worse haha, the body on this little beast is great and still original paint except for the green. I'm going to just sit on it for now, needs all the stuff that mud bothers and going to pull the engine from the parts rig for this one. There are many upgrades, 513 gears, Lincoln locked rear, Jeep yJ springs, Harley Davidson carburetor, and the body and frame is just so nice , no rot at all!! Also the engine is a 1.6L up from the 1.3 and also the parts rig already has a 1.6 also tried the tube doors and Mrs Power Ram Little Power RAM tried the little rig out for size haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
