Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Lockers.... air lockers are the only real option... i have a lockright that i got after being told it would fit but i dont think it will....

Not sure about the gears, i would asume no but dont really know.

i have seen a few on the net running 31's but that would take a bit of mods to the wheel arches.... and that would not make 5th gear great for anything other then flat highways.

i run silverstones at's - BF's make a few that would fit that are mt's.

I have seen quite a few around that run 225 75 r ...

Hi mate.. i have a 99 Gv that has 4" lift - 2" suspension & 2" Body Lift. I run 245/70 r16's.

I know that there are a few GV's running bigger tyres but i feel for the little gain offroad its not worth the hassel - my rear tyres slightly rub on the wheel arch plastics and fronts rub on the chassis ...

start simple... check the switch on the auto that only lets the car start in P or N, it sounds very much like that kind of thing.

I run 245/70 R16's on my GV and they rub on full lock on the chassis and the rears rub on the mud flaps when compressed.

Just remember the bigger you go the more it will affect the gearing... mine is ok a bit doie in 5th gear up hills but other then that ok.

I had a commodore that was doing a smiliar thing it ended up being a dirty batch of fuel that blocked the mesh on the pickup in the tank.

Tie it off... that would never work, if the fan cut in it would be all over, rope or wire flyin everywhere.

I have brand new lock-right locker for a serria without couplers, that im not using as i have sold the car... if your interested PM me....

I got my GV for the same reasons... it was a one owner that had never been offroad, i have since done a few mods like lift and bigger tyres.

I have found it hard to find a winch bar but you can get most other bits. You might need to import them from the usa but that can be cheaper then buy similar ...

I think different to the boys above... i would get a 2" Old Man Emu Suspension Lift and some slightly larger tyres and that would do for sand ... thats what my old jimny had and it was a great little 4x4, on many occasions out doing patrols with 35''s and hi lux's.

If you put 31"s on it you will ...

To fit them... the back is easy just undo the shocks and drop the diff down, watch the brake lines and stuff when you do it and you may find it easier to use a spring compressor to get them back in.

The front is a complete different thing... IFS... you need to use a spring compressor and from ...

I run a 30mm coil spacer on my GV with OME springs and its fine... you just need to check that you will have enough shock length.

I just put a bit of adhesive on top just in case.

Let me know if you need anything further.

I had a 99 Jimny previous to my GV and had some trouble with the hubs locking in when i first got it... after some fault finding found it to be just some crap in the vacume lines... my advice will be to check all the lines as a starting point for blockages (you may need to get a hand vacume pump to ...

I have a Grand Vitara and the front diff from factory turns full time. I imported ARB free wheeling hubs from the usa but my understanding is that older suzuki free wheeling hubs will fit and work ok.

Why not leave the bigger brakes and just get 16" rims, there are plenty of good tyres available in ...

Why belt this guy up... he has asked a question but doesnt mean that he has no idea, we all need to start somewhere.

I have done a SPOA on a serria and it is not as easy as you may think, the hardest part is getting the steering working and then theres a mountain of small things that need attention ...

I would agree with gwagensteve... I had a jimny previous to my GV and it was a great 4wd... Mine only had a 2" lift and was very capable but it was limited to tyre size, when i looked at the mods needed to fit bigger tyres and strenghting the front control arms (as i bent a few) i made the decision ...

I dont agree with alien.

I would get slightly larger tyres... this will give you more options as to brands, tread patterns and also give more clearance under the chassis rails which you will possibly need.

I would consider a cooper STT and maxxis make a couple too..

I run a 245/70 on mine and its ...

I have fitted free wheeling hubs to the front of my GV they are very easy to fit and stop the front diff from turning full time.

If you fit a bit larger tyre then standard when deflated they will "bag" easier allowing for easy sand driving.

I was out 4wding with a group of patrols with 6" lifts ...

I have a 99 V6 GV and its great havn't been able to break it yet!!!!

I will make one if i can not find one that is suitable... I dont like the outdoor auto one, it limits the approach angle and doesnt need to be suitable for SRS as my GV is pre air bag.

Thanks mate.... will give them a call

Does anyone know where i can get a bull bar with winch mount to fit a 99 GV??? I have tried ARB, TJM & Ironman with no luck...
