When I meant slepping in a 4door...I meant in the rear section, but it's cool to know the front seats fold flat.

my buddy has an appache...how does the zuk do pulling it?


It does very well.  We have run highway speeds with it in strong crosswinds with no sway at all.

I was really looking for a smaller Apache Eagle model, when I came across the Buffalo Mesa on an ebay auction.  We've taken it to Zukimelt the past three years, and it is much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.


By the way, there's a guy on another site who built a Samurai camper.  I'd like to see the sleeping arrangements in this one...

I camped one night in the passanger front seat with the zuk pointed slightly up hill, so the seat back was closer to level when the back seat was still in.  The driver's side has less room  because of the steering wheel. I got too cold that night though.  The elevation was near 10,000 ft, and the sleeping bag was good for 45 degrees.  I slept inside because it was raining on and off, and the wind would have blown my tarp too much.  I have a small tent trailer, but I dont have much vacation time to spend running with the snails.  ;D  I will try it this next summer though.

Here is another idea for sleeping agangements with your trackick. Made by AutoHome. I have been thinking about getting one someday but I would like to see one in person first. Should fit right on a stock roof rack or put it on an "offroad" trailer for long expeditions. Folds flat in transit. They make a few different sizes. Pretty cool.  ;)

Matt from www.suzuki-storm.co.uk used to come to shows and events in his Sammy and sleep in his reclined front seat.....
We'd wake up the next morning to find him sleeping like a baby...

Cheers

I just put it to the test. I took a client (I'm a part-time hunting guide) up into the northwoods. We spent the night in the Tracker. It was 21 degrees outside but the temp held at mid 50s inside with no heat. I slept allright with the exception of the steering wheel preventing much leg movement. My client said it was very uncomfortable. It was a good thing I impressed him with the trackers ability to perform offroad and made sure he got his buck.  ;) Anyway, my evaluation of the situation was it is ok for emergency sleeping but for real comfort some modification is needed. I've got ideas in my head I will try out when I get a chance.

You guys did not drink enough adult beverages to ensure a good nights sleep. ::)
