Hmm... thats odd. I just have to say I must be extremely lucky or I don't realize something is wrong with mine hah!

would b much appreciated. Would like to do a review and how-to on it if they are willing to work with me on it.

Where are you getting the suspension lift from? i would be very interested in this also. I don't think I'll go bigger tires but more lift is cool!

If your only going with the 2.125" lift then you'll probably be really pushing it with the 32's Like I said before if I crank the wheel I get rubbing. Plus during snow and mud conditions its packs in the wheel well really badly. If you can get them then cool but don't be surprised if you rub a lot ...

Yeah the 31's make it look much more aggressive with out by gaudy. Although If i had a larger lift then I would have bigger tires.

coatsey : Yeah I was moving with quite a bit of speed and force also. The splashes wouldn't be that high if i wasn't. hah!
What else have you done??
If you mean off road? Just random stuff nothing else quite like that. If you check out metatrox.net and look at the newest news post about the "mini ...

I think mine is located in the same spot. But I wouldn't think it would get all that much water because there is a rubber seal right there where the bonnet closes. Hmm...

This is what i went through and had no problem with water. perhaps just lucky but I went through it three times...

Wow I'm surprised actually that you had a problem. I've done some decent mud/water and have not had any problem with mine. Someone was saying that earlier models of the 06 had a different intake. What does your intake look like coatsey?

fordy1 : I'll be emailing you today. BTW hows the site going ...

Fordy : I'll reply to your email later this evening. The word actually doesnt mean anything its mearly a name. Something we came up with several years back.

Coatesy : Oh I see well those may not be workable I'm not sure. In the USA we have these type.

I used the stock wheels on my tires. If you check out the review/how-to on my site you can see the type of rim I have. You should be alright unless your stock rim are different than mine.

Just contact me either with Metatrox@msn.com like you did about the snorkel photos I asked for, or contact me on www.Metatrox.net Always open to ideas about helping out the 06 GV community.

coatesy : The 255/70/R16's in ym opinion are perfect. Like I said there is a slight rub if you fully crank your wheel but I hardly ever do that so I dont ever have it rub and as mentioned you could easily trim just little bit of that plastic flap and elimimate the problem.

Also Fordy, You should ...

Hmmm.... That winch setup its looking mighty good there. Fordy, your going to be selling the winch setup also? If you are interested in working out some sort of exchange deal with metatrox.net let me know we may be able to hook you up.

I love the fact others are getting their GV's modded for off ...

The dune is pretty decent looking. I know of a group of people in Aus. who are fabricating their own to look similar.

Once the new GV has been around for a little longer things will start to come out more and more. I would love to see a larger lift. Unfortunately its not the up and down space ...

As of right now Rocky Road is the only one makign a lift. I have received a couple insider comments on a couple other companies looking at manufacturing lifts. I'm glad to see other poeple wanting to lift their NGV and use it for more than running to the store. There are also a few companies that ...
