So benT one works. And I know. A guy is coming to look at my falcon today. Get the money off him around a week. Then I go check the Sierra Saturday. Then go back in like half a week with a family friend that knows his 4x4s and then last minute check and then buy it. So realistically I could have it in under 2 weeks.

nice!!
Well untill then, have a crack at the search button up top. Not trying to be a douche about it, but you are asking alot of Q's that have been asked before, and at this point you should be doing as much research as possible. It sounds like you have alot of mods planned.

Dont jump the gun buddy, easy up on the red cordial  . Nothing worse than grabbing the first vehicle you see and it turns out a lemon. Also why the need for all the mods straight away? How much offroad driving experience in a sierra have you had? Mod the vehicle to suit your driving capability. An experienced driver will be able to go further in a stocko zuk than a newbee in a mildly modded one.

Yeah I have driven a Suzuki Sierra before. Much easier with a power steering. Also I have like 2500 grand left over once I get it. So I want to do some mods and shit. I have searched a fair bit. Didn't find stuff on that exact kit. Also I'm not going to be doing all the mods straight away this is all just for ideas. Thanks for the help anyway.

unless its gonna have bigger tyres when you get it the power steer isnt that critical.even 31s its not really a must.My mates old zuk on flipped 10" rims with 33s sucked with no PS
and what the boys are saying is a stocker can be capable and will teach you a hole lot about 4 wheel driving,picking lines etc.Buy one with all the gear straight up or do the mods before you learn to drive and you may find your limits are much less than the cars and end up on your lid.
saving money buying a built one is the best bit but stock zooks are great

Yeah I know lines and stuff, I know how to drive tracks. I just think technically and think ahead so that I'm fine with.

 Look at your avatar. I thought the same 2 years ago. That was with 30 years of driving behind me. Still learning and making mistakes. Get out on a Want33s run Navi if you have too. Watch listen and learn.
Oh, take spare undies.
Good idea to take someone who knows 4X4 with you when looking. Your on the right track, but don't get too excited. I know what you young fellas are like. LTM21 (on learners) surprises me with his ability but he has sat in the navis seat for a year prior. Still knows his limitations and hands the wheel over when things are vertical.

that steer kit you listed is very good.
unless you spend the extra and a jimny box that will bolt in
the BenT kit is all youll need. im running one and everything fitted nice, even with FULL RUF (SEARCH)

Not 100% but one bad thing with the more expensive Jimmy box is it doesn't more the P/S box forward. The benT one does which allows for front diff to move forward which gives a 31" tyre clearance to firewall
