Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i do stockton in 2WD high range where ever i am really except for steep hill climbs. unless im in very soft sand, which isnt very often.. i have a SWB carby vitara on 30's with extractors.

Long wheel base models of the vitara are one of the most stable vehicles i have ever driven. As for comfort wise u will be in heaven compared to the sierra leaf springs. The calmini system is great, though the shocks are horrible. Im currently running a SWB with 3 inch spring, 3inch body and 31 ...

If your going to put a V6 in a vitara the 2.5 GV engine would probably be your best bet.

what spring is that commodore shock going with? and do u know the length of it, i just dont want the commodore shock to be too long so that the spring falls out at full down flex. . im running commodore shocks with lifted king springs in the rear of my SWB. i vagely remember the king springs being ...

Steve.

do you reckon 30's on a 6' rim would be ok?

slap some mudstar 31x10.5 on your stock rims. they fit nicely cause they are undersize.(u may need a bit of a lift or chop guards) 2 inch should do it.

you can fit 31's on a 5.5 rim?? do they scrub at lock?

in my carb swb vit ive had my fuel gauge at super empty and it took 39.7L and it was only just running by the time i got to the servo..

pretty sure LWB tanks are slightly bigger

pretty sure a bloke from the NSW suzuki club put one in a SWB 1.6l vit

should be in there show us your rig section

i have a 30 on my SWB vit and it just touches the rear bumper

try to avoid the pavement ends brand
i brought one from that 4wd1 mob through ebay.
i think its a bit tight but i got it fairly cheap..

i hear good things about Austops

i brought one off ebay for my vitara. i think the brand is pavement ends.
its a bit tight but for 300$ im fairly happy with it. doesnt leak or anything

hope this helps

this is my 1.6 carb swb vitara i have 2"suspension lift 235/75/15 muddies on it still builden custom rear bar but it is on the car and 6 spotties huge sound system soon to come 2" body lift stanless steel snorkel and sliders [img][img]http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss324/vitaraguy/muddies.jpg ...

all fixed!!
i throw a new cable in there.. working even better

it looks like there was no grease where the shoes tough that back plate either. i reken that would have helped a bit.

thanks for everyones help

looked exactly the same to me. one of them was 1-2 mm wider than the rest. would that make a difference?

i brought new shoes and tried to fit them but the hub wound barley fit over them no matter the adjustment, to make the hub fit over i had to tighten the bolts to force it over. so i put the old ones back on and there working fine... very strange......
