I used to use mine as a daily and offroader (or even a daily offroader :lol:) brilliant little trucks for town and country driving, however they dont like motorways due to the lack of top speed and lack of power. saying that mine has been on a few motorway trips :mrgreen:

I'll be using it as a daily again as of tomorrow because i'm selling my road car to fix another one i picked up for cheap.

I used to use mine as my daily driver, was grate fun! but like scott have used mine for a few motorway trips, but there not designed for them! best tip is to sit behind a lorry on the M'way and let his drag pull you along!

I intend to use my zuk as a daily driver and offroader when I passed my test :lol: . 3 mile drive to college everyday plus any places I like to go.Going up and down the country for offroading events and to pick up bits. Why not lol

Might have to fit a 410 transfer box though as Ive got bigger wheels fitted

Mine hasnt got any rattles at the moment only a rock hard ride, but hey ho its life and its all I got :mrgreen:

As for induction, that will come very soon when Ive fitted a snorkel :lol: and Ive got a loud stereo system to drown out any other noise :lol:

yeah, i had it for around 2 years as a daily drive, as said my work was only about 4 miles from my house so the poor fuel consumption and harsh ride werent a problem, I probably put around 15,000 miles on my sj in those 2 years, but then i got another job 26 miles from home, so I bought another car for commuting,

the sj was good though, great for 'tootling' down country lanes but as mentioned motorways were always hard work.
