New to Forum and I am buying a 98 GU 2.8

I originally only wanted to download the manuals, but I am happy to be a member. I am currently driving an 09 GV3 Zook, but want more room for trips into the high country and touring.

Welcome aboard mate enjoy your stay

I Lurve Zooks.

My Grannie had one of the original hardtops with the two stroke engine.

The oil mix system failed, so she upgraded to 4 stroke - I would have been tempted to go to pre-mix :-)

She was into major landscaping. Used to collect rounded rocks from their farm and take them to their house. A load was filling the Zook up to the bottom of the back windows. Grannie used to engage low range for the steeper hills, including one on the blacktop. Must have been a straight hill, as the tranny did not fail :-)

She also discovered, when crossing a creek flooded a bit higher than usual, that Zooks, at least that model, float! She and Zook got out OK, happily.

So brucemacca, you are certainly upgrading in terms of comfort and capacity, but...... dunno about off road ability and pure character!!!

Cheers for the replies, keeping the Zook for daily drive and fun, but the GV3 doesn't have a separate chassis, so are limited. I have given it a 2" lift, snorkel and Bull bar, looking to do the exhaust at some stage too.

Welcome mate, before you buy it, find out all about when the timing belt and tensioner was last done, also climb under and make sure that the harmonic balancer has not been bodgied or welded to the crank.
I would re do the timing belt, idler and tensioner, making sure to loctite the big bolt.
Cheers, the ferret.
