Very nice, yeah I was Injunfarian on most forums as well(Pirate4x4, Zukikrawlers, Zookpower etc.
That is a nice zuk you had, I have had several over the years however currently down to 1 Geo Tracker, 1 Asuna Sunrunner, 1 SJ413, 1 SJ410, and 3 LJs.
The geo tracker is my current offroad toy while my LJ crawler is being built, the sunrunner is just a parts truck for the tracker.
The SJ413 i am likely going to rob some parts from it for the LJ build(use the axle housings to build custom hybrid axles with tracker R&P, samurai carrier and housing, shave, reduce size to match that of the stock LJ, chromolly axles and full floaters front/rear with disc brakes and manual locking hubs on all 4 corners) the SJ410 is a donor for the LJ build .. going to replace the F8A(800cc) engine with the F10A(1000cc) engine from the SJ410, likely will turbo it. Then use the transmission from the SJ410 with the tail housing/5th gear from the SJ413 to make a custom 5sp that will bolt up to the F series engines.
Going coil over suspension, virtual lift to keep it as low as possible while still clearing 33-34" tires and as much flex as possible with the narrow LJ axles. I want to stay narrow and 1000cc so I can still ride on ATV/UTV trails that have displacement and width/length restrictions. As well as be able to easily fit in the bus and still have alot of working space on either side to do any repairs etc.
