How much does your zuk buggy weigh? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

People are always talking about how light zuks are but when guys start throwing v-6 engines on there, full size GM 14 bolts or Dana 60's and 40 inch tires, not so light now are they.

What does yours weigh?

Ranger-Herb · 02-16-2007, 07:24 PM

with toy axles, 37's, full doors, windsheild, and gear mine is a little less than 3400. pretty heavy for a zuk. can get below 3000 in the summer

Stripped down mine weighs in just at 3 grand. A lot of that is in the Tires/beadlocks/axles where it doesn't really hurt.
