The hardest thing about me decision was to let go of my beloved Jimny.
Please find below pictures of my new 2002 2-door 2Ltr Grand Vitara and my Jimny.

I made my first modifications today (29th April 2008). I started by changing the oil and oil filter. Replaced the standard air filter with a K&N Air Filter, and was going to replace the fuel filter but ran out of time. Finding it was the first mission, then changing it up there above the rear diff would have taken too long so I just left it for another day.
Out came the original stereo and in went an Alpine CD player with full speed iPod controll. The little pocket and clock where left out and replaces with a GME TX3200 UHF using a din mount front pannel.
I also plan to fit Alpine Type-R Speakers in the front doors.
A lot more work is going on, so i'll keep you all posted.

Took the GV out to Stockton Beach today (4th May 2008) and what an animal. It had insane power when ever I needed it, with the simple squeeze of my right foot, unlike my old Jimny. The GV didn't have the clearance of the old Jimny, but I'm working on that.
Today, we checked out the Signa, stopped at tin city, found the tank traps, did a water crossing or two and just basically had some fun.
Anyway check out some photos:

Today (5th May 2008) I fitted a set of spot lights in the front bar. Every thing went smooth and just fell into place. Firstly I drilled a 20mm pilot hole then ran the air saw around to make a bigger hole. Clipped the surrounds in took out the front inner guards and then mounted the lights from in behind the bar. Check out the photo.

Hey had half the day off work today (9th May 2008) so I wired up an alarm in my GV and finished running the UHF cable into the car. I didn't want to drill a hole in the GV but just had too.
