Hi All, my first post to this BBS.

I was asked to put my truck on display at a recent off-road event to kick-off the Rally season here in Brasil. My Zuk has absolutely nothing to do with high-speed rally racing, but the organizers thought it might be a crowd pleaser there in front of the night club.

Anyhoo, I arrived with my home-made suspensioned Zuk just as a professionally prepared Nissan Pathfinder was climbing up a ramp for display. The owner, who also runs the shop (JR 4x4), got out of the Pathfinder, all puffed up with pride with his creation. Since his company was one of the sponsers of the event, he got to choose how the vehicles were to be presented.

Ok, then my turn. I got out, put together my ramp and backed ´er up. Went way higher than is shown in the pic. The guy asked me politely to come back down off the ramp a little. He said it was for safety reasons. Personally, I think it was to not encourage unsavory comparisons...

Hey Bill, I like the picture and story.

You want to share some more pics and specs of your beast. I think everyone will get a kick out of the build up.

Hmm... I guess I should say something like "You damn :rainbow: newbie :flipoff2: why don't you use the search and try drinking a few less (or more) :beer: before you post your :jeep: stuff. :nuke: "

-Wayne (I think I'm still a :flipoff2: newbie too.)

My :mad: wife :mad: succeeding leaving the digital camera that I had BORROWED from my job on the counter of a store and, needless to say, someone thought they needed it more than me. Imagine my delight...

Anyhoo, a friend of mine will bring his camera over this weekend to take some pics and drink a few :beer: . I´ll try to put something up next week...


BTW, as a newbie, I have the right to ask. What the fawk is the meaning of :rainbow: :question:

Or can I find out with a search :emb: ??

The :rainbow: is the Gay Pride Flag.

That's gay as in homo, not as in happy.
