There is always something to work on.  :)

Where are you going to mount your Antenna?  For the Arizona wheeling I would try posting in the Adventure forum, might be a few people that know some areas for you to try.

I put mine on the back bumper, keeps it out of the way for the most part.  I used to have it mounted on the side, behind the rear wheel but I just ripped it off on the trees.

I have a stock push bar on my front end and I mounted my antenna right to that using a mirror mount bracket for semis I have it just right of center and have a very heavy duty spring on it so trees do not snap it in half.

I am running a custom rear bumper, so I just bolted it straight to it.  I don't bother with a spring and haven't had it break yet.  The range is a bit limited, but I mainly use it for line of sight anyway.

ok thanks i will have to take both of those in consideration. i might combine the best of both of them and put a spring on the bottom while mounting the antenna itself on the back bumper... i think i am just gonna drill a couple of holes on the bumper.

There are so many different lift options its ridiculous.

What exactly do you want to do with the zuk?  That will determine your lift.

RUF and SPOA are the most common, along with YJ conversions and missing links.  Expect to change out the steering too when you lift it (depending on how high you go).

hey sorry it took so long to get back to everybody on this forum. I want to do alot of mudding, possibly some really mild rock crawling but thats about it. it is going to be my everday driver so it has to be street legal and be alright running on the street more than in the mud.
