I listen to it all. I mainly tune into country, but most of my buddies only put up with it for so long. Metal is always welcome. A few of the guys are heavy into Slayer, Pantera, and a ton o' chit.

Anyone is welcome to bring any of their music. We can blast it all. Only thing that may get you banned (to put it "nicely" ) would be that annoying .... "rap". I also have that ipod connection. Will bring portable jumpers, plus cables. Batteries will be fine.

Not sure, heck, I don't even know what elevation we will be at, but we can always use firewood. A couple of my buddies work at a cabinet shop, so they bring boxes full of scrap. The more the merrier.

Alright, here are some more pics ( I'm bored)
Put a jack under the passenger front spring. Didn't have the best leverage, and as you can see, didn't get my shackle to fully extend, so there is plenty more wheel travel left.







and here is one to both help you get an idea of the Zuki's size, and yall can "meet" me... or at least see what I look like (since the only one I met here has been Madmax). This is me and my old man, we were sitting around figuring out what to do next.

I'm back from the desert now... I'll post some pictures later on (didn't take the truck on the trails).

The Sami looks killer or maybe like it has been killed... either way I am eager to see it. My friend with the Jeep is not 100% as of yet, nor is he going to have the lockers in by then, but he has been invited none the less. I hear that there may be some females coming along? Can this be confirmed? Are they over 18? Are they single? Do they like 23 y/o white men with steady jobs and and atheletic build?

No worries Torn, I am bringing a few ladies, and ya they are stoked to meet you guys. Showed them your trucks, and thats all it took. One gal has a Ford F150 (05 I think?) and its lifted 6" with a Fabtech lift with Dirt Logics at all four corners, but she is only 2wd. They other gal drives a Chevy, pretty stock but at least its 4x4. They are bringing at least one other friend for sure, maybe more. Put it this way, I wouldn't push any of them out of bed !
(two will be 21, the other is 20)

And then my buddy Ashley also said she might come along, and bring a friend or two. We will see.

And yes, the Zuk should be fun. And come on, hasn't been killed yet, the beast is still going strong !
