Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks man ill sign up, thanks everyone for the thoughts

hey thanks for the info, sounds like the rims ive got in mind will be good for the job, or will running 15X7 mean too much sidewall flex do you think? you're right it would be way easier to swap the whole centre and third member, so does anyone know if the whole lot can be swapped and the uni ...

those ones in the classifieds would have been good except im in the nt i think im going to use the rims off my other car, which are 15X7 -20. do you guys think these will do the trick for 33X10.5s? I know lots of people dont worry about changing gears for 33s but im keen to keep the gearing well ...

hey guys, i finally got around a to buying a gq on the weekend, a 4.2 diesel 96 rx wagon. im pretty happy with it, mostly standard but has a 2 inch lift. Im not planning a bl or more lift. I just have a couple of questions regarding wheels and offset etc. I am thinking of putting 33X10.5s on it, so ...

update : i just took the one in question for a test drive. its in good condition, really good apart from slight chips and scuffs in the paint which youd expect. It is pretty slow which i expected. one question, it makes some sort of humming noise that start at about 3 k revs when under load, like ...

is the v6 motor known to be pretty good?

i found a 97 4 door manual vitara at a dealer, totally standard with 150 000 ks on it, for 7k. what do you think of this price? im not really sure as you dont see too many 4 door ones for sale. its a dealer so they prob paid 3 k for it.

thanks

im bringing my thread back. ive been looking abit at the 4 door ones as suggested, probably be a better option, a bit more practical. are all the 2 litre 4 door vits v6? do the v6 share the same diffs? ie can i still swap in diffs from a 1.6 litre to change the gearing if i have bigger tyres on it ...

thanks for the responses. i think ill keep on looking. id rather buy one with a bit of gear with it just because itd end up cheaper than building it myself. your right though this ones probably a bit too extreme for the trip. i think ill keep a look out for something a bit more mild, on 33s with 4.1 ...

hey, im looking to buy a patrol to go around australia in. so i went and checked one out today . its an 88 model with 350000 ks on it, 4.2 diesel with a safari turbo on it. its got a 4 inch susp lift and 35 "tyres on which arent in that great condition. its got gu diffs and brakes and gear ratios ...

and whats about average for a 4.2 diesel with 33s? thanks

are their parts interchangeable with earlier swb vitaras? ie suspension?

thats exactly what i was thinking of. thats a cool buildup thread. thanks.

hey guys, im going to be needing a rig soon and am pretty keen on a 2 door hardtop vitara, im keen for one of this vintage because of the 2 litre motor because i need this vehicle to be pretty good on road as well. ive been doing a bit of research about them, but am having a bit of trouble because ...
