Heres a couple of pics of my "girls car" in action.






The top pics were on a fairly tame course compared to where i normally go but i had the kids with me so it was perfect, we spent all day showing bigger trucks what the little zuk could do that there dearer and bigger trucks couldn't. The lower pics are from Manby and anyone whos ever driven there will know how the mud gets there, always a good day out there, especially in the snow, once that melted later on it was unbelievably deep mud.

I had a SJ410 ages ago but couldn't afford a 2nd car anymore at the time. I still firmly had the bug so bought the Jimny later on. I absolutely love it! Its just like an SJ with coils, injection and power steering. I struggle in the deepest ruts where it drags the diffs (diff guards to come) and often sits on the radius arms but a lift and bigger tyres will do my head in on road. As i said earlier i drive it daily and apart from silly side slopes and windscreen deep water i'll tackle most things. The lift and tyres will only get you so far. I'd love a really sorted truck but for the time being this does everything i want.

The AT tyres suffer in really deep mud so i'll be getting muds next time, i just struggled to get any at the time in my size. It still gets on well though due to its light weight but lest face it if you don't get stuck you're not trying hard enough!

Just don't mention the fuel economy- dont be fooled because of its 1.3 and small size!

My neighbour has a 3.0 landcruiser that returns him an AVERAGE of 30mpg, thats a pipe dream for me in my zuk. Cruisers are awesome trucks and rightly command the premium, as i hear it all the places like iceland, oz, s/africa love them for the bags of power and reliability and lockers as standard.
