PM'd you mate!

[superzooker]

Also why are you selling?

[Brenno]

Looks like an original joeblow creation?

[MLU]

Hi superzooker, got your PM and have replied. In answer to your question, I have a little person on the scene now and need to focus my attention on him. Plus most of my mates that used to go wheelin' don't anymore for similar reasons- lack of time. =(

Hi Brenno, yup- Joe built this one about 7 years ago. Great little truck, just no time to use it much these days!

Would you want to get rid of the harneses separately mate? How much if so.

If a potential buyer of the zook has no need/interest in utilizing them, I'll be sure to flick you a PM Dan.

Cheers, Mike.

Hi Hegs,

Not that I've had it assessed for RWC recently, but you'd need to put the 31's on for the inspection as that's what it's technically allowed to have on the road.
The overall weight on the weigh bridge may require the front bar/winch to come off to meet the criteria- just a standard sierra bumper would pass.
Windscreen is fine (no chips or 'sandblasted'), but they may pick that if they want to be difficult.
Apart from that, I'm not a RWC assessor so that's all I can think of to answer your question. The mods have an engineers cert to allow it to pass for those.

Happy for you to have a look one evening or over the weekend if you wish to.

Cheers, Mike.

PM'd you Engineers's details, not sure if he still trades as mine was issued in 2005. Worth a look into though.

[shiv]

Victoria is so far away thou

could i trouble you for more pics? (inside, other 4wd shots of it in action)

What would be need for it to pass a blue slip in NSW?

[MLU]

Hi Shiv,

Sending you a PM with link to extra pics.
I'm unsure what the requirements are for a Blue Slip up in NSW. Maybe one of the new south boys could comment on that?
I know down here, you'd need the 31's on and take the front bar/winch off temporarily and put a std sierra bumper on for the weigh bridge to get re-reg.

Cheers, Mike
