Post by **Rhett** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 12:48 pm

We done cut4bs suzi with a stick

Post by **grimbo** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 1:15 pm

If I were you I wouldn't be cutting your Suzuki as it appears to be in very good nick. Maybe do some basic mods first then learn o drive it before leaping into full on custom stuff. No point in spending a lot of time and $$$ on mods that you wont be able to appreciate.

Alot of times having a very capable rig and a novice driver is going to get you into dangerous situations and inverably break stuff. Much better to learn what thhe car can and cannot do and then start modding to suit your driving style and the limitations of the car.

Don't worry about grimbo's comments mate. He is just a bit upset that people are working on their rigs and he isn't.

The cut looks great, keep the photo's coming!

Post by **chris_fox99** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 5:37 pm

i will keep them coming if anyone whats to do it it easy as pie the hard bit is done all i need to do is paint it do the tray its going to chacker plate and can anyone tell me where a good place to go to get the soft top for the back thank you for all the sarport you all are giving me

Post by **sierrajim** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 5:49 pm

I must agree in most part Grimbo. Although he may already know what the car can and can't do.

Breaking stuff, we all do that, well only the ones who drive their cars

Anyway, good stuff mate. Step by step photos are good to see keep them coming, buttech related.

get off your high horse there buddy. I was offering a suggestion. You say you've been 4wd for a long time (whatever that means) well in your posts you come across as a 16 year old with no idea about 4wding so my mistake. If you ask for advice and get it but its not what you wanted to hear fine but don't have a go at people for offering help.

Onto what you are doing, good start. Loks like a nice clean beginning hope it all works out. But I really suggest having a good read through some of the buildups like redzooks and sierrajims and get a good understanding of what you want and why before cutting too much off. Remember measure twice cut once. It is very hard to go back if you do something wrong

Hey guys,

Knowing how old you are is great, but it is not tech related. Please refrain from posts such as these in the tech sections.

No worries, Hey chris_fox, how is it going on the tray ect. did that panel have folds top and bottom?? my panel was 3mm folded top and bottom, it is super strong. Keep the pics coming.

Brock.

Post by **chris_fox99** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 5:59 pm

the sheet is very strong here is the tray the rest should be done tomorrow

Post by **chris_fox99** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 6:00 pm

the resun that it sits so high is because the spare tyre go's under the tray its made to fit 31x10.5x15

Post by **sierrajim** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 6:10 pm

Just make sure you leave enough gap between the tray and the cab to allow for movement of the cab bushes.
