BIG MODS on Australia's Cheapest 4x4 - Ultimate Leaf Spring Mod?

[@GrandadBaz]

I'm loving it even more Sam,

[@SamYoung4x4]

That makes two of us!!

[@stevematthes4325]

I first met Shaun Whale at a 4x4 show in Brisbane 6 years ago. We got to chatting about Hilux's and met for coffee that night. We went for a walk in the park, talked about wheeling, held hands and watched the sunset. Shaun is an amazing guy and I will never forget that day.

[@stevenloynds3691]

I don't care budget or not.....I absolutely love little zuks the wheels and lift look awesome can't wait to see what you do with the donk and everything else...

[@knolez1546]

My cousins Jimni went from 195/80r15 H/T to 225/75/15 M/T with a 2 inch lift. It drives good on the road and great offroad.

[@piratecampco]

Yeah the little spook! loving this build!

[@trevormutch6098]

Are you changing the diff gears or transfer gears to bring the gear ration back closer to original? your going to lose a lot of the limited power it doesn't have with the 31's

[@gregditchburn9786]

A bit of research would have told you drop shackles are pointless, an unweighted tyre may look Fully Sik but does nothing. You’ve, by sheer luck, done the right thing by going light springs, this will sit lower and actually provide better flex than a normal lifted spring. Shackle lengths are a function of chassis mount distance and spring length. If the spring is functioning correctly the shackle shouldn’t invert and provide a good angle to allow the spring to flex through its full motion

[@jaycobedelahunty5749]

Personally i would have gone with a ruf spring set up and f them shackles off :)

[@joshallen1889]

Being a long time owner of competition and overland suzuki SJ's in the uk I found it a little strange that you say its hard to get parts for them in Australia as what we commonly regard as some of the best suspension kits out there come from old man emu and all the gear from ARB for the axles and air systems. there is almost nothing made over here for them now sadly, its all state side or in Aus. I'm 6 months into rebuilding my first one back to better then its prime. It's taking so long as nothing is on the shelf here anymore. trucks looking great though, hope to see it getting used for some 4wding soon, those front shackles look like they'll get hung up on obstacles pretty easy though.

[@The_zook_shed]

Been in the zook seen for over 20 years now is awesome to see where ya take this thing Sam highly recommend reduction gears (look up ADD engineering for gearing) and a set of WT diffs (88.5 to 96 sierras have wider diffs) 100% them wacky shackles won't pass engineering and I doubt 31's will either but otherwise keep up the killa content man

[@christopherpayne5620]

The rims and tyres really set the Suzuki off mate 👌

[@chrisg9050]

Those front shackles 🥴

[@toelickinggood4407]

Should look for deals on marketplace before throwing thousands on new rims and crap if ya really want this to be a budget build

[@jamberoobigsplah924]

I don’t think he’s trying to do a budget build. I think he just Brought the cheapest 4wd that he could find.

[@CoreyyMartin]

Pretty affordable over time. Content creators like Sam would get it all done pretty quick but over time it’s not too bad.

[@reddog4x4Matt]

Toyota's weren't getting attention any more, and let's face it, there is no cooler 4wd around.

[@tariklaarej2259]

Bro I haven’t checked all your video but I love the fact that you build different 4x4. Next you need to do a wrangler and not any, the TJ!! You’ll find so many things to pimp it and you’ll have great fun, plus your view will go up for sure :) we love our Jeep

[@grayham3368]

Do these tyres rub on guards at full lock?

[@ROHWheelsAustralia]

How good! 💎

[@bradb2805]

friends don't let friends put fake beadlocks on cars, might need to re-assess your inner circle

[@bjones5240]

I bet your mates dont talk to you much.

[@richardatkin8526]

Specialising in Landrovers is a good business model, always plenty of incoming work. Looks bloody amazing! Would be interesting to have a labour estimate added to costs to know true budget for us average Joes...

[@MKMTA]

So what was the overall height gain with the New wheels under it ??

[@410Hamish]

Wow it's beautiful

[@reddog4x4Matt]

$1200 suspension? The shackles alone are over $700. Nice rims, but totally unnecessary, 90 buck steelies are fine. The tyres are so big it'll barely do 90kph in 5th. And stop calling it a turd. Have you even driven it?

[@kyleemerton126]

100

[@joe_ful02]

Not doing the zuk anymore?

[@tadgeier5275]

Budget ????????

[@joe_ful02]

Pretty affordable. Suspension is a bullet you have to bite, especially how flogged his was. And a lot of people from all budgets drop $1k on rims, especially with afterpay becoming more popular. Just remember it's not your car, you don't have to do anything he's doing

[@bjones5240]

Sam just a note. In the previous video you said that this car was not going to do so much four-wheel-drive and considering the amount that the shackles stick out in front of the bumper bar, I’d suggest that you remove them. Looks good so far and it’s nice to see that you’re transparent with the prices keep up the good work

[@bradb2805]

but they r functional... r u dumb?

[@P.Trim69]

[@dcameron0500]

Haha, that little snippet from Sheikh Muhammad Hoblos at 1:40.

[@RepLicanT00100]

🧟‍♂️ must buy rims 🛞 1.26 , 7.42 , 11.53 , 13.01 !!! Makes Homer go something something….

[@SamYoung4x4]

hahaha!

[@pullingguard1527]

Needs a baby blue pain job and an engine swap and carbon canopy instead of the black fabric

[@PJ-James80]

Are you including labour in the build? Probably should for transparency

[@BenjaminNelson-q1u]

A chihuahua to a French bulldog? Hahaha they’re the same size.

[@LoganMears-py9ip]

My Frenchie is 14kg in good shape I can assure u they are not the same

[@SlowsThego]

Myself building many capable very custom zooks , I’d hate to inform you mate BUT! Sorry to say, That’s not a budget build mate. Keep doin what your doing with this good channel. Peace to ya.

[@UserName-bj8sy]

Lol are you a fan of mighty car mods?

[@timwhite3030]

The Suzuki is awesome. Stop calling it a turd and other degrading words.

Lifted leaf springs still need geometry correction.. castor wedges

[@davidgiurfo8274]

The front end looks like a Toyota bunderas except squashed

[@adventures_with_simo]

I hope your regearing this

[@SamYoung4x4]

Eventually, in phase 2 of the build!

[@qwerty123627]

Sweet nails princess.

[@crag51063]

Um..... 31x10.5x15 tyres don't fit on 15x6 rims .... and please stop calling the sierra a turd !

[@shearees635]

Nice 45 seconds ago

[@backyardfever9207]

Not a budget build at all

[@mikeg1074]

This ain't no budget build, your buying all new gear. Oh yeah, you spent 200k on your landcruiser build 😂

[@Jackson_Poker]

the shackles ewwww, qorst thing you could have done

[@Jackson_Poker]

"worst"

[@chrissteer3733]

Illegal height lol But I like it

[@SamYoung4x4]

Engineering Process has us covered from a legality POV

[@chrissteer3733]

@@SamYoung4x4 will u do a video on that? Iv got a 75 series 2 inch spring shackles and 35’s. prob same as what u have done to the zook. I’d like to see the process

[@RepLicanT00100]

.. I need a break from the internet! It seems like everyone doing 4wD content is following each other around across the country side doing similar things. 🤔💭

[@BTBSean0]

Cool, another "build" not going to be finished 🥱
