CENTRAL OREGON - Bigger and better than ever best describes this year's Fall Classic. A bigger crowd combined with more snow and lower than usual temperatures created a  memorable and we think "better" experience for all Fall Classic participants. Excitement ensued even before we started as extremely treacherous road conditions forced a couple of participants into the ditch before the rendezvous point in LaPine.

Bend, OR - Sometimes it is just good to load up the family and head for the hills and what better a combination than the central Oregon high desert and the ARB equipped Suzuki Equator. Our long-term loaner Suzuki Equator has really become a welcomed addition to our stable of adventure vehicles. It's peppy 4 liter V6 engine and factory rear locker combine to provide on-road drivability and off-road credibility to this current offering from Suzuki. Overland Adventure with the Suzuki Equator
Reno, NV - The ZUKIWORLD Challenge 2011 season kicked off at the inaugural Master Pull USA 500 during an unseasonably cool July weekend. Six teams, ranging from experienced to brand new, and reigning from Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and California converged on this new Vorra sanctioned event and began their assault on this new to us and new to Vorra 500+ mile course located just to the east of Reno, Nevada.

Bakersfield, CA - Calmini products has long been known as an innovator for Suzuki aftermarket parts and accessories. They were the first to come out with a full line of performance products for the Suzuki Sidekick and have built on that by being the first to offer a solid axle swap kit that uses all Suzuki based running gear. Calmini does this by building bracketry to attach links and coil over shocks to a Suzuki Samurai front housing. For those that want to keep their Suzuki 'all Suzuki' this kit is the ticket.

Blackfoot, ID - One of the key points of the ZUKIWORLD Challenge desert racing series is to provide an affordable alternative for those that are excited and passionate about racing but may not have the cubic dollars required to compete in most of the current desert racing classes. The 4-B Motorsports team is no stranger to racing with several builds and successful seasons with championships in circle track racing, the team was looking for a venue to expand their racing knowledge and have a little fun along the way.

Molalla, OR - One of the most common problems with our Samurai as they age is the transfer case bushing failure that causes the transfer case to get stuck in neutral. Luckily, the fix for this is quite easy and can be done in a matter of minutes with common hand tools. So, after you got stuck in neutral on the trail, used a couple of screwdrivers to shift back into a range, and driven yourself home, give the folks at Low Range a call and pick up this simple affordable product and let your troubles melt away.

Detroit, OR - For the last ten years the US Forest Service has partnered with local groups to rehabilitate and create wildlife habitat in an area most famously known for it's hot springs but used by most locals for it's other beneficial offerings. The Oregon Hunters Association, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Mid-Valley Crawlers 4x4 club, as well as others have been working on this project for many years and the results have been beneficial to the area's wildlife population. We were fortunate enough to be able to participate this year and help out and as an added bonus, we were able to use our on loan Suzuki Equator to great benefit as we worked through the day's projects.

Moab, UT - This was the 45th anniversary for the Easter Jeep Safari currently being held and organized by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers. The 'Zukfari had taken a break in 2010 but now it was time to go back to an awesome environment and enjoy the trails, people, and places of Moab. This year we kept the schedule light as to allow for flexibility and the unexpected. We did manage to run several excellent trails, old favorites and some new, and saw some new faces as well as some familiar ones. Day one of the 'Zukfari had Mike leading one of the premier must-ride trails in Moab; the Moab Rim. Click for more Zukiworld 'Zukfari
PORTLAND, OR - Most of the time here at Zukiworld H.Q., we plan our trips out months in advance and try to pack as much fun as possible into each and every moment to maximize the time we have out in the great out doors and this pays off well. However, sometimes it is just as advantageous to pick up the phone, call a couple buddies, and head for the hills. Saturday was that kind of day. The weather we have been having here in the Pacific Northwest this winter has been brutal as it has been in many areas of the world. The end result is that a lot of the days are being spent indoors and winter's dreary grip is even more soul crushing than usual.  We set off early in the morning....

Minneapolis, MN - Last Year I bought a 2001 Chevrolet Tracker from the classifieds right here on ZW. It was rough and I knew it, but it ran and drove, so it had to be worth $800 right? A couple hundred miles later the motor let go in a big way.  I was bummed at first but after I got over my flawed investment I decided to turn a lemon into lemonade. It has always frustrated me that Chevrolet / Suzuki had all the key components to putting a great off-road package together for the Tracker/Vitara but never did. The closest they ever came was the ZR2 which, in my opinion, fell way short. I would have built a 2 door with, a V6, steel front diff, the much larger XL7 rear diff, XL7 brakes, 5.12 gear ratio and 33 inch tire. I decided to do just that. This is where the Project ZR3 begins.
