My truck - what you think?

Yeay! The garage gallery is working again which means I've been able to upload some pic's of my suzuki. Take a look Smile

See my profile/garage Smile

Speed wise, it's slow! Big wheels and a 410 transfer box. But who cares when it's never let me down off-road around bristol and bath.

The spots are actually a couple of 12V halogen bulbs inside plastic pipe fittings, they're spot on Wink

The wheel guards are made from heavy duty rubber flooring. I had to add it after being stopped in a police spot check - Oops. But they liked my little jeep and made me promise to cover the wheels up just incase they scooped someone off a near by curb or something.

What you think?

East side of Bristol. I used to be in the BWORC until my daughter was born then I had more important things to do.

She is a bit older now though Smile

Yup, bath side. I used to do green laning out keysham with the club.

I've been thinking about trading up. I like the grand vitara. A guy in the club had one and it went everywhere.

looks good mate. those springs look longer in length than standard? and with longer hangers would u not suffer from spring flat?

im suffering the same issue on the speed side of things. 1.6 engine 1.3box 410 tranny i think weith 33x12.5. 0-go spins wheel spins but anything past 3rd and it feels like the engine doesnt have the power in it to push the wheels. as struggle to get 50. doesnt sounds like im over revving the tranny box either

yet with the 413 on 31x10.5 i could get 80 out of it

any other plans for it??
