I like your front tag

Great looking ride!  Looks like you are ready to find a top so mama will ride in it with you when it cools off and then a set of lockers.

Very Clean Zuk!

thanks about the tag it is tough times in big orange country. this is probabally very dumb question but what is lockers?

When it comes to traction in off-road situations, differentials play a key role. In general, the differential in a vehicle's axle allows the outer wheel to rotate more quickly when the vehicle turns a corner. The outer wheel travels about 30 feet farther than the inner wheel in a 360-degree turn. A 4WD vehicle has one diff in each axle.

Locking differentials (or diff locks) are the only cure for the shortcoming of differentials sometimes sending torque to the "wrong" wheel. Diff locks disable the differential's ability to distribute torque equally and its ability to allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds. In some ways a diff lock is the ultimate traction device. Since, all wheels rotate at the same speed when engaged, a vehicle with locks on all axles has traction if just one wheel does.

By disabling (or locking) the differential, steering becomes very difficult and the wheel with the most traction will get the most torque, as much as 100%. This guarantees that any wheel with traction will receive enough torque to move the car. In sum, diff locks will keep you going and keep you from getting stuck.

Doughboy is right on.  I would never put anything but abr's in the front, but as far as the rear goes diff locks are the key (arb, mini spool, etc) to getting deeper than other 4x4's.  Without them then the power that comes from the engine through the trans and transfer case goes the path of least resistance, which means as you crawl over a rut or bump the tire on that axle that does not have any weight or pressure on it is the one getting the power (spinning in air).  With locks both wheels spin at the same speed so it will not matter which is slipping, the one with the traction will keep your zuk moving forward.  Go to ARB's web site, they have video and info that will bring you up to speed to see if it is right for your application.

thanks fot the help guys!!!
