I have a 413 SWB at the moment with 31s 2 inch springs and rockhopper kit and a lockrite.
Getting a long wheelbase here in NZ is not that easy so whats the thoughts on building a 4 door Vit,cutting to a double or extra cab(easy to get to recovery gear on tray back or well side)adding a wide track diff up front.
I wont the advantage of the extra lenght for stability and carrying capacity.
The only major change would be the front diff(reliability)the Vit already has power steering/1600 motor etc.
Opinions
Sounds good and im sure Celai and Eugene Barry will endorse your pic as they have shown to be a good little comp truck OBC /TUFF truck and im sure there a few more in there Woodpecker?nissantrials?
Do the live axle conversion and al;l would be sweet front n rear lockers tranny gears / auto maybe ............32" 33"s
i'd use toyota hilux axles over the zuk stuff, cause you'll end up breaking the wide track front. hiace centres fit the axles and give ya a diff ratio of 5.29 compared to 5.12 standard.
with a sas ya should be able to get 35's under it easy, i've got 32's on mine with just a 2in suspension and 2in bodylift
depends what sorta comp work ya wanna do, but the rockhopper only gives a low range reduction, and if ya running anything bigger than 31's you'll really want some sort of high range reduction as well. you'll get a little bit of this from the diffs, but swapping in a rockhoppered sierra box could be the go.

Rockhopper Series 1

Series 3 compensates for 33" tyres in high range.
in a sierra
in a vitara-> Suits Vitara, Sidekick, Tracker, Grand Vitara. No change H/Range, 120% reduction L/Range[/i]
