    Were you in a Zook Kallen? That's a whole different story! A Stock Zook will make a mockery of a heavily modded patrol! Trust me I have been driven around and thrown my hands in the air and thought well for Fark sake! What's the point when they can do that! Cheeky bastards.

    Reckon it was the driver attitude for sure. Cvs can just let go though with Big Tyres.
    Yea unsure of brand but it had normal thread which is weird. Every one I've seen is normally fine thread.
    So possibly the issue..

    And your not wrong. This one hill that most of em struggled on one if the zooks just shot up..
    These are build well though. Both lifted and running 31's.. The best one wad an auto but body roll.. Geeze... Looked like one of those bobble heads lol

    Yeah a Zook running 31s will be a beast mate. Quite embarrassing for a well setup GQ

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Apparently a zook on 31s has the same diff clearance as a patrol on 35s.
    I know a bloke with a zook on 35s...crazy!

    Hi Kallen Think you answered your own question, the larger you go you also need to upgrade other components otherwise
    to help take the extra pressure put on everything..
    If you just lift it and keep other components STD somethings gotta give and it aint gunna be cheap.
    Take a well set up comp truck probable over kill for a weekend warrior, or a very loved member of the family LOL
    The componets are out there just $$$$$$ that's all

    A guy I know runs 33"s on his Zook with an Izuzu diesel and reduction gears, boy can that thing crawl

    I have seen Adjustable panhards and other heavy looking gear at my local parts store. If the vehicle that wrecked the panhard is the one I asked you about, then that was the gear he used. I think it is called Road Safe, or something similar.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    The nut could have come loose on the adjuster, then it's only a matter of time.
    I had my name brand rod come loose twice, yes loctite was used.
