My reason.
I bought this for my wife to haul the kids and get groceries because she hated my slammed jetta.

I wheeled it a bit and fell in love with wheeling(again) so a few mods were in order...

Really it was 3 1/2 yrs of upgrading and modding as my skills and boldness grew, and my desire to get more extreme.
I'm sure I could have built a SFA Toy 2 times over with what I've spent, but when I'm on a trail with 5 toys, 3 Zuk's, and a few heeps, I know I'm not going to get in the wrong rig by accident <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Now the question is, is my rig still a Zu? all thats left is frame, whats left of the body(soon to be gone) and rear axle... I've got a few Jeep parts, a smattering of chev, a bit o ford.
My feelings are, I dont really care if its a Zu. It looks cool, but I built what I had to suit my needs and thats it. If you can find one cheap, and like the look, do it. If you like the look of an XJ, get one of those, etc.
