Do you have any idea if they are still sticking with the three different packages?  Muck like most of us the idea of a fatory vehiial that is mstly trial ready is pretty tempting.

They will be offering the RMZ-4 package for sure. This is the one with the bigger tires, better shocks, selectable locker, and some other stuff. The pickups should be hitting the dealers late November / early December.

Hmmm... If I was in the market for a new mini-truck, I'd definately check it out, being a Zook and all. 

But I'm not, so...

*here it comes Eric*

I'll wait for the Katana.  ;)

On another positive note, it's been a while, but Calmini can once again market a "new" suspension for a Suzuki vehicle by simply putting their Nissan Frontier kit on their Suzuki page. :laugh:

It does make it real peppy though... It'd be fun for street light to light "cruizin" ;)

That is a good looking truck. The more I look at the pics the more I like it. If the first drive in it is impresive as my first ride in an SX4 it's got to be good. Price range is keeping me curious  8)
