The 3.50 gears and bull low NP435/NP208 combination is super slow. But I'm not rock bouncer, and the hardest trail it's seen so far was the little ATV-ish trail through the woods by Kelly Lake......it was rocky and very very tight. But zero issues in terms of crawling through it and being able to get a line through it all. I'm surprised how well it does considering it's immense size compared with the Zuk. On the downside.....I can feel the lightness in the rear sometimes. The radius arm bushings are totally shot, but the TTB is going away so I'm just keeping an eye on it. Also the lighting on this thing is worse than terrible as one of the sealed headlights isn't working very well. I have some H4 conversion headlights coming that I'll wire up on a relay as apposed to through the headlight switch....oh and Hella 500 fogs coming too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could put a bit of weight over the rear axle easily to resolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 yeah i guess so. It's got 37" Goodyear MT's too, and they're rock hard....that's not helping either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run a lot lower air pressure than the Manual suggests, because of course the Manual is spec'ing for factory 28" tall tires. And leaf springs. You're spoilt Jay, by the 'plush' Zuk ride! Maybe you want trailing arms with coil springs like the early 70's Chevs, or the current Rams.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
