How well would a rail built using an auto tranny 4wd soob for parts work? Here is the deal, wife has a real bad ankle therefore no std for her.She loves the dune buggies. I am not a stranger to fabbing, so I was thinking if need be use a a zuk tcase for extra reduction for harder offroading. Zuk stuff has gotten outragous here in price, so the soobs seem like a good a challenge and comfy ride with the suspension vs. solid axles. Keep in mind I never have seen a soob up close, so if the drivetrain ?'s seem stupid thats why. thanks for your time

I'm in Corpus Christi and was curious if any lonestar soob clubs are out there?

Now we is talkin, thats coooool

just curious who has built one and opinions. A 4x4 rail on a buget would be cool.

Was thinking of a building a small rail type rig and pulling the drivetrain out of a soob with the auto tranny 4wd setup running the atv tires. Auto would be good for the wife with her bad ankle. But first I am gonna find a wagon/std and play with it some before I bail off into that project. Sometimes my ideas overload my spare time:eek: , This flat four cylinder ought to be interesting, never have messed with one.

is the pushrod motor more reliable vs the timing belt motor.seems like it would be....or rather just onething less to break in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for the breakdown on yrs, models, equipment guys.

Thanks for the help, I gotta learn this new lingo on Soobs. Do they ride decent when lifted? What about ATV rims and tires? Just saw a pic of one in the gallery with ATV tires.....ohh the ideas are flowing.Get an automatic 4wd and make it a trailbuggy for the wife. Dont see any lifted soobs down here, they seem pretty cheap in price too. About 7 yrs ago I bought a 87 zuk with a blown motor, just was gonna rebuild it and m,ake a beach runner out if it. 2yrs later it was sittin on 35''s, 4:16- tcase, 5:12's lockers both ends, poersteering, full exo cage, race seats etc..........

Hey all, looking for a change from Zuks and the late 70's/early 80's wagon model looks like a good place to start. Been reading and searching here for the last few hours.. Dual range came in the GL, not the DL? does GL/DL apply to the hatchback too? dual range became available in 1980? lift kits can be homebuilt fairly easily? ea81/ ea82 81 is the carbed model, 82 in FI? Basically I am bored with the Zuks, would like to build a wagon for running in sand on beach down here. I need lo range, really to run a 27" tall tire at the least. Lots of deep ruts cut by other 4x4's, the stock 205/70/15's on a stock zuk do OK with carefull driving. Hope thats not too many ?s at first, the lifted wagons look cool...... thx
