new toy - dont tell the zooky boys :)

kingdan

Hi all,

Picked myself up a new toy as the 60mile round trip (dual carrigeway) to work and back is a bit much in a sammy Smile

So, completely standard sportrak seemed order of the day - removeable hard top as well, so looking forward to the summer! Smile

Anyway, pics Smile

Interior is a LOT nicer than the zook, with voltmeter and inclinometer as standard, and nice comfortable seats!

Now time for a lift and some new boots? Smile

so when is it going to end up like paul macleary's sportrak portals and all Laughing

Im thinking I need to fix the zook first (clutch replacement) THEN I can start looking at the sportrak!

OR keep my sammy as pure offroad toy so dont need to worry about MOT or Tax anymore Smile

The Sportrak has AT tyres on it already, so I reckon a LITTLE bit of lift wouldnt hurt........(isnt this where it all starts?!?!?) Very Happy

That looks great Paul - really nice Smile

The roof rack looks good, is that a standard part or something you fabricated?

It looks really good, how does it work with the removable rear section of roof? I would check the old forum, but the gf is bothering me to get off the PC so she can spend all my money on a holiday lol Smile

I'll take a few pictures tomorrow and post them up.
Basically it bolts through the roof to the rear cage using the existing holes. You do have to cut the roof a little, but it makes it really strong. Smile

If I get a chance I'll find the old thread for you.

Paul. Very Happy

I found the old thread. http://forum.difflock.com/discus/messages/6/163524.html?1145275616
Since then, I have added an upper front guard to protect the lamps, a chequer plate floor and a rear camera.

Paul. Smile

Thanks for that Paul - very interesting reading Smile

I believe Bures (suffolk / essex border) is open on 25th Feb, so will definately be down there in either the sportrak or the sammy - its looking more likely that the sportrak will be going out for a play, so will be interesting to see how it does Smile

Its all standard at the minute, so a lift is first order of the day. Just an inch or two will do - is a spring lift or body the 'norm' over here?

a shackle lift on the back and tightening up the torsion bars at the front usually does the trick for a couple of inches any more than that and you,d have to start thinking about a body lift.
