Outer Limits 4x4 Board

whereabouts you located? there's a place in sydney that specialises in a whole lot of canopies. not sure if they have any zook ones though but worth a holla i'd say.

had a flexiglass challenge one on my zook before and it was awesome. certainly adds a sense of security when parking in dodgey places ...

would definitely need to get it engineered. although in nsw it is registered as a "ute" by the rta...go figure.

awesome project for a 13 year old by the way! he must be real happy!

love the checkered plate look, but definitely hot gal. anyone know where to get steel cheap in sydney?

careful on the rear demist! last thing you'd want to do is scratch it up with the wool or razor!

i'd prefer to use some hot steam. oil would work on the sticky stuff but i'd prefer metho as its easier to clean up afterwards with a wet towel

i personally prefer rubber matting as its a little more hardwearing protection...check out clark rubber also

they're ok on fuel on factory road tyres. once you put the bigger tyres on or all terrains/mud tyres, thats when it starts suffering a little i reckon...

something light and paper thin, such as the swift/charade would probably be the way to go unfortunately...

i used grand vitara suspension setup on mine with 2"spacers. wasnt too bad, but perhaps better with proper shocks. was going to put ranchos in but never got around to it. sold the zook unfortunately...now selling up all me parts!

^^^ damn that looks tuff!

i was fortunate to not have any probs with my handle, but i had actually changed it over to the older one because i relocated my license plate so needs the handle with plate lights...

nice write up mate, nice to know its easily fixable!

my 1.6 did fine both on the highway, bush and beach. unfortunately didnt get the chance to bring it to the snows, would have loved to though.

for the price definitely cant go wrong.

depends if you get bigger wheels/how much weight your carrying etc. i had 29" all terrain rubbers on mine and it ...

i'd get it checked by a mechanic in case, if he were real interested in the vitara.

keeping in mind that when oil and coolant mixes it turns milky white...it could be a minor crack or gasket leak that has gone undetected to date. something may go wrong after that 10minutes...

i think inspection of ...

looking good mate, and bargain for 1500!

drop me a line should you need flares and rack for your board! haha

not sure if it fits ur sierra, but i got the calmini roof racks, new in the box for a vitara. unfortunately i sold my zuk before i had the chance to install. was thinking of keeping them for the next bushbasher, but unfortunately probably wont be for a while yet!

for the zuk i used 15w40 engine oil it seemed to do the job and tend to be well priced. also changed oil and filter every 5-6000kms or so...

I got a set for mine a few months back.. i've only done a few trips with them.. seem great so far. I got them through a private sale.. but they were brand new. I believe the original guy got them through locked up 4x4..

thanks for your quick reply mate. i have a g16b engine on a swb...

i suspect it should take more than 1-2 hours work? cheers


easy way is to jack the engine up or lever it over to change the mounts.

can be a rite pita on some engines. depends on what year vitara and the bolt ons in engine bay to ...

hi guys, finally got the mounts..

now wondering if anyone has changed them on the vitara before, as im considering getting the mechanic to do it...but wanted to get an idea of labour costs to change the mounts?

thanks in advance

sorry to bring up an old topic folks, but would i be correct in assuming that front engine mounts would tend to go prior to the rear mount? cheers

thanks for the replies guys.

strangely enough i'd asked the same question and Rod replied saying that he hadnt dynoed them yet, but will let me know when he does. unless i've got the dates wrong, and asked him prior to last friday...not sure.

hi vit94, genie headers seems like a recognised brand ...

Hi Folks,

Potentially looking at a full exhaust system for my G16B Vitara. Has anyone had any experience with a certain brand system, or even for headers/extractors?

I see a set made by "maxheaders" near Wollongong, up on Ebay, and delivered price seems reasonable. No dyno figures though, so ...

Hi mate,

Thanks very much for your help! Great info there.

I'd thought it may be more the engine mounts having failed, as there is only vibration during idle...upon acceleration, the vibration goes away. I understand this is typical of engine mount failure as most engines lift a little upon ...

Hi all,

My engine mounts I believe are worn as there some vibration in the cabin at idle (ok when accelerating). Wondering if anyone would be able to recommend some decent mounts, other than stock? or would stock be preferable.

any idea of costs for parts and labour for the mounts?

thank you

hi folks,

i have a vitara 1.6L efi, and wanting to get a little more response out of it, as it seems to be a little slower now with 235/75's on them.

I was considering the following, anyone had experience with these, or any other words of wisdom?

thanks guys really do appreciate your answers.

Yeah i've found there to be quite a few variants with the various models of vits...

I'll have a look at the wreckers this weekend i think, otherwise will see if i can fit my own light under the existing door handle, looks like a tight squeeze though ...

hi all,

quick question - wanting to find out which vitara models had the rear number plates mounted on the rear door, below the door handle?

mine is currently on the rear bumper, but im wanting to relocate to below the door handle, as i've seen some vit's setup like this.

this info would really ...

dude, not sure about qld laws, but may be the same as nsw...watch about for the number plate a the back, you may get done for the towball "obscuring" the plate. i got done for that recently, $318 fine and 3 points and defect notice. take care
