Do you tow your Zuk to the trail or drive it there? I like the idea that I can drive my Zuk on the road if I choose to. A buddy of mine stricly tows his. That way if he breaks it he still has a way home.
-
I drive, I also have a dual sport line-x'ed motorcycle. I drive that too .  I wonder how a line-x'ed Kick would look?;D
-
Depends on how far I am going and how extreme the trails are. But then again I have a big tow truck to use.
-
I tow my trail rigs for two reasons. First it saves money on tires cause off road tires wear quicker and cost lot of money to replace. Second if you break something A you got to fix it usualy at a higher cost then it would if you were in you garage b tow it anyways. It gives me the peace of mind i can make it home no matter how hard i beat my rig.

Drive, you can buy Many sets of tires for the cost of a Tow rig ;)

depends on distance. most the guys i wheel with wheel fullsize rigs so tey don't mind towing my geo. i usually break something on trail.

The first time I was getting ready to drive my rig to Moab (about 500 miles, I think), with my "pricey" tires, my wife said "no WAY are you driving those expensive tires all the way to Moab - we're getting a trailer!"
So I drive the Gnewt if it's close (say within 100 miles), and trailer it if it's farther.
-
I almost always drive mine, unless its over 300 hundred miles or so. Since we have two Zuks and can only tow one, I drive the Kick and the Samurai goes on the trailer. I like driving mine on road, but if we could tow both, we would just so there's no worry about getting them both back home.
-
Ive always driven. However I was offered a spot on a trailer for the trip were planning to Paragon that I think I might use.
-
I drive,,,but having to get broken down rides home, SUCKS!!
From reading this,,,,It would be cool and cheap to go buy an ugly good running (like 80's round headllight short WB) Van like my old lowrider. And hack off the back and put a lowass bed on it so I could literally just climb an up and Haw ass.
Seal off the cab of corse and paint to match the truck. And deffinatly keep my zuk street legal. Youll never get the same look driving a muddy truck down the road under its own power hummin those big tires, as you would on a trailer.
I could do it for less than a grand no problem.
-
It tow mine everywhere. We even built a trailer to haul it. But a top speed of 45 might have something to do with that. ;D
It's easy to throw it on the trailer then climb into a nice air conditioned/heated cab for the drive home. There is only one ORV park within 100 miles of my place anway, and it's closed for the winter.
-
i tow mine ,,its nice to be able to beat your rig and know you can still get home,and the closest place to wheel is 2hrs away,and i dont feel bad running 75-80 mph in my suburbin
-
I flat tow my bush rig behind my gf's tracker usually.. not even close to street legal ;D
-
As soon as I finish the trailer that's sitting (half-finished) out back, I'll be trailering my Geo to the trails that are more than a few minutes from my house (cops are few and far between out in the boonies, and even then they probably won't bother me ;)).
