Wow, nice work!
Yeah, looks like you need a little more room under there. It has a nice wide stance now though.

Very cool. Love the minimalist approach.

Really nice rig - love the idea and execution. Way to just build it and get out there instead of spending years talking about it.
You obviously have more lenient laws than we have...
Here the tires have to be within the wheel wells.
Fender flares that cover the tires are legal in Utah. I put them on, but they are not pictured in this thread.

Hardly even looks the same does it? :sombrero: I got a little crazy with a sawsall....
It had a vw 1.9td, got 35mpg at 65mph (with 35" tires, not tracks).
Now it's a VW TDI (mechanical pump, non-electronic) with complete Toyota drivetrain.
Sustained high loads were tough on the Suzuki transmission - I blew up 3 old, non-rebuilt ones. ACME recommends a quality rebuilt trans with sythetic oil if you run a 1.9td or a 1.9TDI.
Or the toyota conversion
Your Zuk is famous^^^^
I'm working with one of the cities here in the SLC valley right now in an effort to open up a new nordic skiing park. They are quite interested in the idea, and if it flies, will need a couple grooming options next year. It could be volunteer grooming, and that is one of the reasons I bought the Zuk.
I've read the infamous/famous thread on Pirate4x4 and your posts about building a Tatou knock off............

I know that grooming with light Suzuki's has been done - I don't know any contact info for these guys, I know it's Maine.....
The name of that picture was "groomer on Alton Mountain" - perhaps you could find them using that?
WRONG! Not Maine. New Hampshire - I googled Alton Mountain Grooming and found them.

They have that pic of the Suzuki up on their website, so I would guess it wasn't a disaster they wish they could forget lol
If this wasn't YOUR thread I promise I wouldn't get so off topic it's just nice to have this kind of thing "together" when you find it while searching.
