So now it's equipped with:
3"   body-lift
3"   suspension-lift
33" General Grabber MT's
ARB Winch Bumper
CB
Snorkel (home made)
2 Hella Ralleye 3000 with 100W bulbs
Checker Plate interiour (still working on that)

Clearing with articulation isn't completely fixed, but that'll be a project for next week  ;D

Nothing you can't fix with a sawzall, and a big hammer!

Looking good 8) Did the lift go on smooth? How is the ride with the Procomp on yours?

Hey Zig,
The lift went on without any problems  ;D Thanks for your advices.
I still have to adjust my toe-in because that's huge so I haven't driven it very much (only 300 m or something) so I can't tell yet..... we'll see.

I was wondering, Is that the stock trim for a vitara over there? Meaning, the absense of a rear marker light the different spot for the front marker light and the fender flair mouldings and squared off wheel well openings. Subtle differences, Are they stock or modified

TIA -Eric

The 'clean' fenders are standard, the marker lights are added. The fender flares aren't standard but they fit the standard fenders exactly... so I think allmost everything you mentioned is stock....... BTW those rear and front marker lights on the corners of the car are forbidden over here  :( I like 'm because no-one hase 'm over here.

Looks damn nice man, i love it. i like how the flares also run in with the sills as well. looks sweet.

after just seeing your photos, i have decided my next set of tyres will be 33"s or bigger! but i think that might be in 2006 or something. and i know i will need to beef some stuff up, but i'm not worried, cos by then all the stuff you guys talk about will be developed and affordable, namely front ends such as tora axles and stuff.

but yeah, it looks real good. nice and simple, and tough as.

let us know how it goes when you start driving it again.

also, i noticed on Ed's vitara that he's running a brace for the front mounts of the front arms, and i know a few other runs these, and the calmini comes with one too, what is it for? strengthening? stiffening? do these mounts flex a lot?

thanks

Looks good Ed,

Are you running stock gearing with the 33's ?

I like those flares are they a Zuk part or aftermarket ?

Red mirror Hmm, You must be related to Bobzooki  ;D

The brace is on the mount of the front and rear arms, it is the new mount for the arms, as they are lowered with this kit.

I'm still running stock gearing (for now) and the flares are official Zuk parts (but they were allready on there when I bought it).
