Should we start a poll?

Should Gonzo..

a) stop being such a tool and go SAS

b) continue being a tool with IFS and enter the guinness book of world records for the most broken CV's

How long did that CV last on 33's? I reckon about 30mins of active track time. :shock: :rofl:

I've gotta say though Gonzo, that is one seriously fat Vitara. Awsome. It'd be interesting to see what the specs are now such as width, diff height, belly height and roof height. Awsome to see.

sweet! and good work making them fit. how did you close up the rear guards? how does it handle now with that seriously wide track? you might need to make a couple of brackets to strengthen the idler arms on your steering. how does it handle now?

good work.
