Outer Limits 4x4 Board

When you're about to roll over if you go any further and a mate climbs out the window to hold the car up while you reverse back (could be dangerous?!?!)

When you don't wana continue down that track or have gone the wrong way you can... turn around!

When you own a $25,000 WRX and $1,700 Vitara with a shagged gearbox and you still drive the Vitara everywhere while the Subaru sits at home and never gets a run! lol!

WHEN you wash it, you think to yourself, "Why did I bother? It only brings the scrathes out!"

Yeah my Vitara is an absolute PITA to drive on the freeway, can't really do +100kmh and dies in the ass going up the slightest of hills. Im only running 235/75s but it was the same on stock tyres. I was thinking an EFI motor or V6 commo conversion because I do at least one trip a year to QLD from ...

Thanks for the replies guys, I bypassed the heater core for the the trip up the coast, pity i did actually need a bit of heating with the stromy weather up the northern rivers but after that cleared up, im glad I bypassed the heater core, because the air-con is definately colder :) From what I can ...

The heater core is constant coolant flow through it and the heating is operated by a flap, which i don't think works too well. I want to block coolant flow through the heater core for cooler A/C but im unsure if i will be blocking coolant flow to other parts of the engine, which would be bad. I ...

Saw it the other day in Thornleigh

Yeah I have the 1.6 carby with a 3spd Auto. Havnt done any driving yet (except round the block) i'll see how I go with the transfer shifter and if I have any dramas i'll then reach for the BFH, but I think its guna be OK

hehe yeah thanks mate, just pulled the boot out a bit, and shift hes moved to the left slightly so just need to push the stick to left a bit
Now its says "4WD" when in 2WD and and vice versa lol but i dont really care, its just a bit of fun!

Cheers, Dave

I can vouge for the SuperCheap Wax and Grease Remover!!! I just had the pleasure of removing the entire 10yo sun-baked-on sign writting from my old work van :roll: Razor blade might help but be careful of the paint and your fingers lol Try and wear gloves of some descrption, it dries your skin out ...

Ditto. I have also wondered about this, i see alot of silicon replacment pipes and kits for turbo'd cars like WRXs 200SXs etc on ebay, something like this would be perfect. Ive been intending on dropping into my local Pirtek branch to see if they can make something up, but im lazy and keep ...

Hi im Dave, New to Suzuki & new to 4x4ing, bought a Vitara cheap as bout 6 weeks ago, was looking for a Sierra but hey... Stock at the moment, slightly larger than stock tyres, has done everything i wanted it to so far. Loved stockton beach, not that keen on mud but love climbing rock trails. Just ...

Yeah please few pics, i don't want to spend 20% of my purchase price again on a damn snorkel lol

Thanks heaps man, will check it out cheers

Hey guys, servicing the vitara i bought 2 weeks ago, and was just wondering how do you drain the auto fluid?!? lol
Did bit of a google search and quickly checked out the Vitara bible but didn't find anything. Im sure its there somewhere
Any help appreciated
Cheers Dave

Yeah good idea, i do a bit of work with perspex from time to time, but i wana keep it pretty low-key, being a soft top and all. Plenty of options with perspex now that i think of it! Just want a decent sound, not so much doof-doof factor lol So i might look at going for perspex replacement of ...

Nice install! Interior looks the business! Hehe, I was thinking i'd have to find a material bit better than the stock plastic! Man the stuff is flexi! I was thinking marine ply or mdf. Cheers for the pics, looks tough man! Will post some pics tomorrow.

G'day, im Dave, a new forum member, new to Suzuki and new to 4X4ing :) Was after a cheap Sierra for beach/light 4X4ing (for now :P ) but got real lucky and scored a black '90 Vitara, JLX Soft top for a mere $1700! :lol: Basically alittle fun toy that won't cost me heaps like some of my other hoobies ...
