Who is it for?

Road-legal 4WD vehicles of Suzuki manufacture.
(See the fine print below)

Suzuki Samurai, SJ-series, LJ-series, Sidekick, X-90, XL-7, Grand Vitara
Geo/Chevrolet Tracker
Custom-built rigs that utilize Suzuki components

Indiana law requires valid plates & proof of liability insurance
if you're going to be driving your Zook on the road!

Everything else is pretty flexible as far as vehicle modifications go.
There have never been any hassles with the law over this type of thing.
But remember to watch your speed...

Why Suzuki-specific?

1. ZookiMelt is made possible by the generous donations of vendors,
most of whom cater specifically to the Suzuki aftermarket.

2. There are countless make-specific gatherings for other brands,
especially Jeeps, but only this single one for Suzukis.

3. ZookiMelt is a unique chance for Suzuki owners to share ideas
and knowledge, most of which is Suzuki-specific.

4. The trails for ZookiMelt are setup for Suzuki-sized vehicles,
and in many cases, are even tight for them!

5. Being make-specific tends to quell a large amount of ego-tripping,
making for a much more relaxed gathering.

6.  There are 51 other weekends of the year the Badlands are
open for other makes of trucks, quads, bikes, etc.



So, are other makes allowed?

As a rule, other brands of truck are discouraged, but not turned away.

Therefore, if you have a friend with another make that insists on coming
with you and your Suzuki, we're OK with that.
However, they will have to register in the Badlands main office,
and are not eligible for the special ZookiMelt pricing.

After all, they might just get bitten by the Zook bug...



What about quads or bikes?

You are welcome to bring them along, but you will also have to register them
in the Badlands main office, not at ZookiMelt registration.

Helmets are required for both, with flags required for quads.

Also note that there are certain areas of the park,
the quarry for instance, where they are not allowed to run.

Participation in activities related to ZookiMelt is done AT YOUR OWN RISK.
