Personaly Iwould just wheel it the way it is for a while. It probably isn't as top heavy as you think you just need to get used to it. For most the stuff we wheel on around hear it will be fine.

My bronco is only 93" and it works fine. Not to mention it is taller and has a softer suspension then your zuk.

Your bronco is also about a foot wider too.

And that would by why there isn't a straight body panel on it

OH HELLS YEAH!
I guess that maybe the numbers are throwing me. To be honest driving it never bothered me. It bothered my spotter/rider more than me.

I know you were looking for a chevy v6 engine conversion. You may want to ask this guy about that. The zuk he's selling seems pretty set up with the v6 fuel injected engine out of a chevy astro.

After a couple of trips off-road I'm really happy with how the Zuk turned out and keep reminding myself that I shouldn't expect it to be perfect right away.
The biggest issue I'm having is with the front drive line. No problems with the hub locked in rolling but when I engage 4x4 it seems to cause the transfer case to vibrate. I originally thought this was just because some of the bolts started backing out but after trail fixing them the issue seems to still be there. My only other guess is the clearance of the front drive shaft however wouldn't that cause issues even when 4x4 isn't engaged?

If the case is not engaged an out of balance driveline will vibrate more than when the case is in 4x.

Found out it's my Axles not the wheel causing the wheel wobble.
Jacked the Zuk up and tried to figure out what the "binding" was being 'cause by..... still have no clue.
In the air everything seems to work fine (had the axle all on jack stand and let it run in gear to take a look) On the road, it's "better" but still hard to get it out of 4x4.
