Aha, Sierras in the background for an emergency ;) .

Honestly, its good to see a GV get dirty, instead of being a pretty little town car. Good on ya. Looks like you had fun too :D .

Some good photography there as well.

Rocky vitara, I don't want to sound too judgmental, (and they are GREAT photos) but by the look of it, that's a fair amount of abuse you are dishing out there.

There are a few front end components on a GV which aren't crazy for this kind of use - diff carrier/axlehousing (and the whole car isn't mad for salt water.)

ARB airlockers are the best lockers available, but may require diff centre changes in your model. Others on this board will be able to give you more advice on this.

spacers

Post by fordy1 »

hi

Yes have your fun you will be fine as long as you clean it properly, i had a 2L vitara that i trashed but it only failed because i never clean the mechanical side of it other wise it was the best zook i had.

As for spring spacer they are realy good and a very cheap lift, as you have a 40mm lift you can to a 60mm lift without changing anything or 70mm in the rear changing your shocks to ranchos and leave the front at 60mm so they dont top out.

I washed the car for about 3 hours after so I think shes fairly clean :)
And all the water I'm driving in is fresh not salt.

So adding 20mm spring spacers, a totall of 60mm lift will not affect the CVs in the front?? I sure would love more lift :lol:

your cv will be close but should be fine but the state of your cvs is up to you and how you drive it as it is easy to break them with larger tyres

( IE - you get the nose in the air and keep the pedal going and the GV is not moving then the front comes down and your front tyre grips and SNAP )
