I had a Tracker in the early 90's and the evil seed was planted.   ;D  I just can't get it out of my head.  I love my Jeep and it is built pretty well, but I need a new project!

I think I had one of the first Trackers with a Calmini lift. ;D  I know where to get parts.  I am having a hard time getting away from "the jeep thing" :P

Thanks hotrod!

I have owned 3 Jeeps and 2 Zuks and I really like the Zuks.  Size, ease of maintenance, gas mileage, and uniqueness.

The pull of the Zuk is very strong!

I LIKE THE UNIQUNESS OF DRIVING A LIFTED ZUKE. EVERY ONE LOOKS & HAS A COMMENT. AROUND HERE LIFTED JEEPS ARE A DIME A DOZEN, BUT LIFTED ZUKES WELL HMMMM HAVEN'T SEEN ANY IN A LONG WHILE. ONCE & A WHILE I'LL SEE A LIFTED SAMMY BUT NEVER ANOTHER KICK/TRACK IN THE AREA. HOOKED FOR LIFE NOW  ;D    MATTY  8)

Ya same here.  Every day I drive I see people turning their heads to get a look at my truck.

Like NY said, Jeeps are a dime a dozen.

Lifted Zuks don't only look cool, they kick ass off road.

I've taken my Tracker some places that a Jeep could never fit through.  Haha and my tracker feels big compared to my friends LJ80. (try following one of those through the bush.  Better take your mirrors off first  :P)

zuke owners are more friendly, literally EVERY person that i drive past with a sami waves at me, and most guys with lifted trackicks do as well, its awesome

nice short wheelbase and uniqueness is also a huge factor

Use the Force Cwkick, use the force.
It gets stronger as the Evil Seed begins to grow,
and soon overwhelms your sence of Jeep ownership.

The G-Force on the other hand is a different Evil Seed,
one that causes headers and turbos and Cams to find
place in your life, G-force is an all consuming desire, and
the need for more will have you thinking of V6s and steel
front axles housings, don't fight it, resistance is futile, after
all thousands of Zuke Owners can't be too crazy ...........
..........Or can they.

"We've been infiltrated!!!" You will find after a while that the heep will be nothing more than a dust collector after you get a Zuki.  ;D

Wow!  You all are a tough crowd to resist!

That is one thing I like about owning a Jeep, everyone waves.  Then you step out of the Jeep and discover what many Jeepers are all about.  My Jeep can beat up your Jeep.  You got 31's?  I got 35's mine is so much better than yours!  :P

I think I like this crowd of Zukers!!!!   ;D ;D ;D

if you don't think people will wave and yell at you cuz you in a tracker than your crazy.  people scream out at you.  but mine is growing farly fast and is bright blue.  that could be why.  and we are a big family.  no one kick is better than anyone elses. well you know what i mean.  we arn't pricks about it cuz one of us has 35's and the other one has 25's.

Wouldn't switching from a Jeep to a Zuk be coming over to the good side? And going from Zuk to Jeep be switching over to the dark side? ;)

I might just be moving to the good side!!!   ;D ;D ;D

I have a friend with a Jeep on 35's (I'm on 32's).  

Every time we wheel, when he gets out of his Jeep he's shaking his head.  After 2 years of wheeling together he's still way impressed.

He want's to go the 37" tires now.  Thinks he can out do the lil truck then??

Hey lil truck,

I have run into the same thing.  I had an early 88 sami with a calmini 2" shackle reversal and some 235's on it.  Sold it to a friend of mine and bought the Jeep.  Ended up puting 31's on the Jeep just to keep up with the sami!!!!!
