Hey Guys

Thanks for all the help and advise you guys gave me for completing my body lift and getting my 31's on. I finished it monday night and have taken it out twice since.

I have never had so much fun. It just eats every mud hole/rut. The big tyres slowed her down a fair bit and she feels pretty gutless now, thats the only down size.

Also what you guys do to water proof the dissy. The suzi started missing a few times from getting wet.

Also who wants to see some photos of some of our tracks up here in darwin, nothing serious just lots of mud.

Seeya

water proofing the dizzy ?? I am a self confessed mud pig ... the suzuki motor is the most water resistant factory motor I,ve had the pleasure of thrashing .. try a bit of die electric grease on the plug boots\dizzy boots as well as decent plug leads (I use bosch ones).
A small smear of die electric grease on the gasket around the dizzy cap cant hurt either ..

You will want to look at your starter shortly as well .. usually the thing to crap out first on a suzuki when abused in the mud ..

Otherwise go have fun ..

This sounds like a job for a Rockhopper! :D

Unless you have a 1.3L engine, in which case you could go half way and put in a 1L transfer case.
