ANOTHER NEWBIE TO THE ZUK LIFE!!!
« on: February 10, 2007, 09:40:29 AM »
Hello everyone,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ramon, I am 23yrs old from Southern California.  I just got an 89tracker last month and I cant stop thinking about everything I want for my new toy.  I definately got the "itch" as I am sure the rest of you do. I don't really see too many zuks in the socal area, and I am interested to know about any good spots in socal to go wheeling.  Right now my rig is almost stock with a 3" body lift and 30" muds. 

Im sure I will be asking lots and lots of questions. I am very new to the hobby but a big fan.

Well lets not waste time and get on with the 1st question

I am looking to get a bumper possibly the one from trailtough and I would like to know what the smallest winch I can get for my rig.  I dont plan to get into extreme trouble but would like to have one. Will 2000lbs be ok or would I need the 6000lb winch.

Thanks a lot in advance, look forward to talkin with you all!
Ramon

will post pics a little bit later.....

Just make sure the doors and top are off so your zuk can share the experience with you.

And welcome.

Welcome to the addiction.

I would have to agree with Jason. Go with at least a 6000 lbs winch. I am saving for something a little bigger but, I have a tendency to use my winch for skidding heavy objects.
