ZOMBICON

Chris Tsardoulias loves zombies and he loves his 2015 Jeep Wrangler, which, he calls “a Sahara becoming more than a Rubicon”. That’s why he calls it Zombicon. This Surrey, BC resident “grew up on dirt bikes since he was 5 years old” and “liked anything with a motor.” His Jeep “came with a base model lift and tires that will be upgraded to 6.5” coil overs from 4.5” and 38’s from 35’s” which proves the point that a true Dream Ride is never really finished, just always getting better.

Modifications & Accessories: - 4.5” Zone Off-road Lift - Smittybilt XRC Stinger Bumper - Smittybilt XRC Rock Sliders - 10,000 lb Warn Winch - Bushwhacker Flat Fender Flares - AFE Cold Air Intake - ARB Differential Cover - ARB Air Lockers - ARB Compressor - 20” LED Light - 4 Pods with a switch System - 20” Fuel Off-road Rims - 35” Hankook M/T Tires - Husky Liners Floor Mats - Fire Extinguisher Holder - Back Up Camera - Apple Stereo Custom Speakers and Amps - Compositor and Two 15” Subs - Custom NSOR T-Shirt Seat Covers

The first things that Chris had installed on Zombicon were “ARB Air Lockers and a Warn Winch so if I’m ever deep in water I can hopefully get myself out instead of hydro locking the motor again.” Clearly, he learns from experience and he recommends the same first mods for all off-roaders. Chris’ favourite accessory on his Jeep so far is his “$10,000 stereo with 2 15” subs”. He even states that the stereo is “why I got a 4 door” in the first place. Nomatterwherehe’sgoing, youcanhear Zombicon. Next, he plans to add “Dana 44 front axle with matching Air locker/gears”. This off-roader has joined the 4WDBC “because they actually do a lot for the world, cleaning up parks and doing fund raisers!” Chris loves to take Zombicon away from the city and he camps year-round in BC, with his favourite spot so far being: “top of east Harrison to the hot tubs.” His next road trip will be to “Idaho/Utah for sand dunes plus there are100 places to stop on the way.”

Driving is Chris’ true passion. He’s been driving a 5/7 ton truck for 6 years and is currently trying to get his class 1. He also has his motorcycle license. At just 24, he is a true enthusiast. His love for driving and vehicles led him to build his dream Jeep and Zombicon is only going to get bigger and badder.
