Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi All,

Im attempting to re-create this look on my sierra, i can see that the front bumper is a home job that dosent look to hard to recreate, and the doors are easy enough, just need to work out some handles so its legal. Does anyone know what type of / size lift may be installed? and a good match for the rims and tyres? I cant see the car from front on, but my guess is that the tyres are sticking out a fair distance from the body...

Also, im assuming the cage is custom, looks a bit weak, however, are there any glaring issues with it?



any ideas welcome,

cheers

as long as 31 inch tyres are max, and covered, and an overall lift of no more than 6 inches you'll be fine.

the lift looks like a spring over conversion with YJ springs front and rear? and the tyres could be 33's or 35's???

rims are mickey thompson. Although it is a neat looking zook, you will be hard pressed getting something that wide and tall on the road legally.

I reckon 83jack is right. The tyres look like 35's and judging by the very non standard look shackles I'd say it's sprung over YJ jeep suspension. I've seen something similar to that roll cage on the puresuzuki.com or lowrangeoffroad.com. I do admit it looks good, but it looks like a lot of work to get legal in Aus.

Bullshit.
Provided the tyres are covered and you build it right it they couldn't refuse.
They're six stud wheels- so they're not suzuki diffs. If you do a diff swap correctly you can have the wheel track of the donor vehicle.
Cage can be engineered if its built right- I've had a number of six point cages passed now, they dont like them in theory- but they can still be done in an acceptable way.
There's some sort of hanger relocation going on there- so judging just by the picture , i'd guess the suspension has reasonable travel- the thing won't wont to throw itself over when it runs out of suspension like the small lift lots of cutting brigade.
The cage doesn't look weak- although taking the braces off between the targa bar and the windscreen isn't helping the windscrren strength. Personally, I'd opt for a six point, but avoid the temptation to add elleventy billion unessesary bars- it's stronger than anything else there , and why add weight which discounts the good effects of lots of weight down low(big diffs and tyres) and not much up top (ridiculous, kidding yourself exo's)

you don't need handles on the doors to keep it legal. As long as the latch mechanism operates in the same way as the original door you'll be fine.

He's in Sydney, so at least he has the advantage of the NSW guidelines and allowances

the tires are maxxis trepadores, looks like they are nearly clearing the body completely.

could be rancho shocks on the front?

they are mickey thompson radial claws. 35's.

my mistake,

There's nothing wrong with a good looking suzuki, but I'm hoping that you're going to wheel it too

cheers for all the great responses people!
