There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with Zuk's from Sweden.  It will be interesting to see what you are doing to that white beast.  What is there to not like?

Thanks, the white one is put on hold, but I put up some more pics when I start building again. It may take a while since I just started a restoration on a Sj413k pickup.

I remember the green cage build.  It will be interesting to see what you do with this one.

Hi guys

Ernie, really nice rides you have there. Most likely VERY capable in almost any situation or terrain.

Thanks for the kind words in regards to my ride and the pictures.

I do not see to many Nokian tires around in larger sizes such as on modified off road vehicles. We do have Nokian tires here but for the most part sales are on cars, not the bigger vehicles. I did consider Nokian tires on my Sport though for a while. I would have to say that Toyo, BFG, Dick Cepek, Micky Thompson, General and Marshal are the tires one sees the most, with a few exceptions. For the most part on larger vehicles the 38" mudders or superswampers are all you see, but not on Suzuki, hehh.

I look forward to more rides and pictures here.

Best regards,
Tryggvi
Regards from Iceland

Thanks, I did a lot of research of expo rigs before that trip but find very few on the forum ever use the term "expo rig" so I appreciate your knowledge. Seems most here are only day trippers which is fine but i found trying to do a multi-day trip an interesting challenge in such a small vehicle. We had to carry camping equipment, refrigerator, stove, tools, camera, laptop as well as water and clothing. That picture was from the White Rim Trail in Canyonland National Park outside Moab.  That was a 3 day offroading trip so I needed to carry extra fuel. Each RotoPax holds 2.5 gallons so there were 4 gas containers on the roof outside and I also carried a water RotoPax mounted on the ceiling of the hardtop so  the combined weight was about 85 to 100 lbs including the containers.  During the 100+ offroading miles I only used 2 of the RotoPax of fuel but at the time I did not know just what my miles per gallon were going to be so I wanted to error on the side of safety. We did not pass another vehicle for 3 days so running out of gas would of been a big problem. I purchased the RotoPax mounts and installed a pair in the outside of the roof and a matching pair for the ceiling of the hardtop so that only 2 holes for each pair needed to be drilled into the roof.
