Congratulations on being selected for Auszookers Zook Owner of the Month!
How does it feel being honoured with the nomination for Z.O.O.M. 2017?
Feels good to be chosen. Gives me bit more motivation to keep working on my zook.
So tell us about yourself. Who are you, What's the meaning to your username, Where do you live, and what do you do for a living?
My names Denby, the narrowzooker user name came from my old sierra; a 1983 nt 1ltr that was nick named Paddlepop.
I'm a mechanic for a living and i live in perth WA.
How did you get started in Suzuki's & how many have you owned?
I got started in them when my mate James got one and been in love ever since. I've owned 6 sierras so far.
How long did it take you to build your zook to what it is today?
Build is still going unfortunately, would love it to be done by now but time and money to spend on it are tight.
I've had the drover for about 3.5 years and done all the work to it in the last 7 months
Any changes in store for your Suzuki?
No, not as of yet. I change my mind a lot so possibly in the future.
What has been your best modification?
The 1.6 vit efi and aw4 4 speed auto.
What has been your worst modification?
My blue sierra I just ruined with a rusted out junk body. I turboed it in like 3 days and it went really hard for 2 weeks then back fired through the carby and it never ran the same. Took it on the beach and got it running ok but a exhaust hanger snapped and the turbo snapped off the manifold haha so not fun times there.
If you could have anybody else's zook, who's would it be and why?
I would want bogga's LWB he is building currently, as a lot of planning and very well done work has been done to it.
What has been your best 4wding trip?
Would be the one to Red Hill few years back in Paddlepop with MrRocky and others. Where I did a difficult track with no lockers or gears
bounced the front end up at the top came down and snapped the mounts out for my tranfer case so had to ratchet strap it back in
to drive the rest of the track and home.
If you could go to any place in the world to wheel, where would that be?
I dont know. I would be happy to go over east and do some of the good tracks over there.
Who are you closest to in the auszooker's community?
Probably Steven Godfrey. I talk to the most but even that's not a lot. He's helped me with some gearing
questions and stuff like that been very helpful.
What other toys/hobbies do you put a lot of time into?
I play basketball and like to thrash around my remote control cars.
What is it about the auszookers that brings you back for more?
The awesome build threads and knowledge.
What about the auszookers forum would you like to see changed?
Nothing from me.
Now for the million dollar question, who do you select to be the next Z.O.O.M. & why?
Not sure. There are so many people I could recommend for the awesome work they have done but bogga would be my
choice because its my favorite build right now.
