Glad to see I'm not the only one rolling a Zuk 
I did it in the mud, much friendlier to me and the Zukbody
I did check all the stuff in the initial post ( even before I read this thread 8) ), no problems there, not even oil on the pistons, so no mess under the hood except from the spilled oil from the engine-vent.
The next day I found my headlights not working anymore. Started to check the wiring and lightbutton ( which had been deep into the mud as you can see on the bottompic ) and found the sharp side of the fender had cut the wiring in two on impact.
Just my 2 cents
Yep, working on the intended exo-cage now, had the plans and stuff ready..............................too late !!

The previous owner rolled my samurai. He said after that the thing started smoking all the time but it didn't smoke before that. Is this common? Could burning the oil off in the cylinders damage the rings?

Of the three rigs we turtled in Moab all three of them quit smoking in 30 minutes or so ...
The only way I could see it being permanent is if the P.O. did not cut it off when he rolled .

I noticed my Zuk was steering "lighter" than usual and was "searching" for tracks ( always hard to describe how things "feel" ), so I had my wheels aligned.....................1? off !!!!!!
After a long testride I still found it "different" so we started checking all nuts/bolts/brackets and found this:

Welded it and now I know what difference a good steeringdamper makes
It's incredible how much of a blow the steeringcomponents get on a rollover

Stupidest thing I did on mine was the same thing but with my foot out the door! when the cage goes in I am going to make sure there isn't enough room to get my foot thru there that fast again.letsgomuddin85 said:
