Outer Limits 4x4 Board

do you want an all terrain tyre or mud terrain? I think there are a few 17" ATs, if you want MTs then 16 gives a wider choice. my diesel GV came with 17" alloys but the dealer gave me a set of 16" steel rims (these come std on the base models and the dealer had several spare sets from people ...

I've got an 08 diesel, too early to tell if reliability will be an issue. As to mods, you are limited in what can be modified, both by the cars design and what the suppliers have on offer (TJM don't have anything for new GVs, ARB have springs, but no struts, and a snorkel, nothing else).

being a softroader and all Blasphemy! Soft roaders don't have low range, my TD Grand Vitara does. There was a recall regarding the DPF so the problem may have been solved.
