VITARA THREAD!
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2009 12:27 pm
Hey, this is my stock 1991Auto Suzuki Vitara JLX SWB , I bought her for $1500 and she is my first car, I have a big wish list for her and hopefully I can have a interesting little build up of body work and modifications. I've found a few rust holes on her which is annoying but have fixed all of them that I know of :S. Anyways hope you enjoy.

Found a dirty rust hole just above the bottom door hinge on the drivers side :S 2 photos of how it turned out. Really wish I took a photo of the actual rust hole but to show how well it turned out! Ohwell I found another one on the other side So i'll be sure to take a photo of it
The end result, think I done a few more coats of paint but :S

This is a photo of me on a surf trip stuck in the mud the bottom of the cars frame was sitting on dirt including half of my dif buried in dirt, yes I am a dick head haha. Anyways, with no recovery gear or phone reception, I spent an hour and a half finding planks of wood and rocks to support my car jack, yes I had to jack my car up about 1ft to put lots and lots of rocks and tree branches etc under the wheel, I eventually got out :S was very fun but. As you can see in the photo, she got pretty far!.

These are the just cruizin' lift blocks (2"inch), Thanks mate!
We had a hard time lining the bolts back up evenly to allow us to screw the female bolts in, We tried all sorts of crazy shit, 6 hours later we had all bolts screwed in.
The before and after photos, Have not fixed up the front and rear bumper yet, going to remove them when I put the coil spacers in and the 31" wheels and get some bar work made up.

My mate Jason's Simex Centipede 31x10.5R15, they were hardly even used because he got bigger tires, All what I got to get to have them on my vitara is some wheels, Looking at getting some Black Sunraysias 15x7
Look at the amount of tread on them still!!!

Today the bottom hose on my radiator split open :( But on the good side, my winch I got off ebay for $170 came in the mail, I don't plan on having to use it. Yous probably wont be seeing any photos of the winch actually fitted to the Vitara for awhile, I have so much stuff happening at them moment, getting tires fitted, installing 2" coil spacers, Getting front metal winch bar made up, with work full-time, it's a slow process.
Stay tuned for more updates to this thread

Merry Christmas! Today I fitted my 31x10.5R15 Simex tires on, real happy with the way they look, they were a tight fit had to hammer some of the guards back to stop it from rubbing.

Went through this track a couple of times that lead to a wave, pretty fun! The tires made a big difference compared to the stock tires

Today I put my coil spacers in, They are not permanent just until I save enough money for a full proper kit, I was stoked with the difference it made, but these photos just don't do it justice!!
