Buck, both of those look really nice. I've no experience with a propane conversion, but they seem pretty popular. I have a '95 FI model myself, and I'm pretty happy with it. Most people consider Sami's underpowered, but once you accept the vehicle for what it is, you'll find that they are pretty capable even in bone-stock form. I do have ARB's front and rear in mine, but other than that, the drivetrain is stock, and I still impressed where the thing can go. But, I prefer to explore, and not rock-crawl, so my demands might be lower than other Zuk owners.
I do tow mine behind a Sprinter camper, and it tows pretty well. Just gotta stop every 200 miles or so and run the engine for a few minutes to keep everything lubed. I use a Blue Ox towing setup which I love. I bought the mounting tabs from Blue Ox that I bolted right to the front bumper (mostly made by Zuks Off-Road). One of the posters on Zuharrie did a real nice job designing a wiring setup that allows the Zuk lights to be used for being towed, as well as towing a trailer of its own. I can dig up the diagram if you like...
