Zuk with 49" Iroks and mogs build

[Verceingetorix]

Okay here is the build plan 5.3 or 6.0, auto tranny, with around 4to1 t-case reduction, front and rear steer C-424 mog axles with 49" Iroks. Wheelbase around 120" going to get stretched into a 4 door zuk.

Here are a few picts to start with I will be updating the build as I go along.
brown zuk is where the extra doors come from.

Big tires, what kinda motor are you looking at?

 

[Kiel]

424 Axles? I know the model, but they look similar to 406 axles, are they? What model are they from U1000, U1300, U1600? What t case is in the works, not a samurai case right?

WOW

I've gotta keep an eye on this build...

 

[ChestonScout]

sounds like A LOT of work. Good luck!

 

[Crinco]

Looks like you found some beefy axles! Looks like a good choice based on the size tire you plan to run, I think the 404s would work as long as you drove it on easier trails, but those will hold up to much more. Keep up the pics, we love to watch a build-up.

zuk

The mogs are out of a US military tractor and from what I have been told are like the 416 but the portals are stronger they have the 6.54 gear ratio. The t-case will be an 203/205 doubler, or one of the aftermarkets atlas/stak have not deceided which way to go. The engine will be most likely a 6.0 or 5.3 but it all depends on what I can find for a good deal. Crinco have you had any luck selling yours? If you still have them I have someone looking for a set of 404's. Let me know.

Also, if anyone has parts let me know. I am looking for an engine V-8 fuel injected, tranny preferreably a th400 or a 4l80e, t-case setup, and a set of beadlocks 17" for mog pattern 11-14" wide.

here is a pic of the 49 with a 38.5 in front of it

Interesting build! Is that a lonely 38.5 or do you have a set (and what rim?)? I'm curious to see the 49" tires. Are you using the stock Sami frame or are you building from tube?

 

[Devel]

call 801-627-1956 and talk to mike he has a fuel injected 350cid with a painless kit and computer for $1200, tell him joel told u to call

 

[Rot Box]

There's a pretty good chance I've never been this jelous before! Your axles definatly have a LOT more beef than the typical 404's, and that's a LOT of drivetrain for that little Sami......

Can't wait to see more

I will be using the zuk frame which will get reinforced. The 38.5x14.5x15 SX is a set of four that is a pending sale to cannoncrawler.

I need some replacement 16.5. Just thought I spied something I needed before you posted it for sale.
