Welcome aboard,
Let me get this right you are moving out here and bring a 2009 jeep :lol: :lol:
Are parts chep over there ?? If so fill ya jeep up with as much as you can afford. If you don't break stuff yourself you'll be able to sell the parts to others who have..

Which part of NZ are you coming to this time ??
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

whats the cost of bring a Zuk to nz? ..why would you bother?... Arnt they cheap as chips here ?... Parts are cheap ?... Dont they give them away with every packet of weetbix? :P with the freight cost alone you could buy a later model Zuk here in NZ..
I guess you could always put a handle on each side and call it 'carry on luggage'
