Hello

I'm glad I found a Canadian site. I won't be doing any hardcore trails as my Zook is an 03 2 door Vitara but I'm sure there is lots to learn. I live near Stirling ON, it's about 2 hrs north east of Toronto. I also have an 83 VW diesel pickup that I rebuilt myself from front to back. Great little truck but not much of a hwy vehicle.

My new Vitara has been great this winter. I put a set of Winterforce snows on it that give it lots of traction in snow. I've made a few trips home from the Mississauga area in storm conditions and it has always done quite well.

I'd like to fab some front and rear bumpers for it, as well as some skid plates.

welcome to the site. MM is right about the Vitara, it will become the next generation of Zuk wheelers. But first we must we must cut them up and use the drive train in our buggies:D

We usually get a number Side Kicks out to SuziCan each year. The evelution is happening.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I work for a small firm in Napanee called RC Industrial, currently I work 2 or three days a week in Misssissauga plant that lamanates the melamine surface on particle board and MDF. We also get some work at Mobile Chemical in Belleville and Goodyear just north of Napanee.

The job can be pretty basic wrenching to light metal fabrication, metal machining and some machine assembly and setup. Of course theres alway some welding, plumbing, pneumatics, hydraulics and carpentry thrown in for good measure.

I hope to make it to SuziCan for a day this year, I'd love to see you guys givin' er.
