G'day all from Austrialia,
I've been around for a while & I thought I'd better share my zook with you all.... it's a 1997 j20a 2.0litre widetrack (sport) swb. it was stock with 70,000 kms on it when I picked it up it now has just cracked 100,000 kms & is getting further away from standard.

I do a fair bit of sand driving, a cheap bit of insurance is a custom sand flag & modified the spare mount to get a 30" on it!
i think thats the most of it...... until version 2.0 begins!
when does it stop???
-
That looks very nice. The 2.0L 2-door hard top vitara always looked the nicest to me, and this one looks great.
Are those 30" tires, or bigger? Also, did the roof rack basket come with the rails that mount to your roof, or were they already there?
-
Great looking truck Atari 8)

Nice. Very clean truck ;D

nice rig, i have a 4dr that is just waiting for it's lift and tires. what part of aus are ya from. dunes look fun. i was in sydney in jan. me an dmy bro in law were playing in the dunes up by nelson bay in his swb pajero. pretty fun.
-
Awesome rig
Ive always wanted something like that
2 door hardtop, lift, 30s, rack, lights
all I would add is a snorkel and a small winch and badda bing
its also REALLY clean for hitting trails like that... look at the engine bay
=D
what kind of gas mileage you see?
-
Nice work all around. :)

Your Zuk looks great!! Nice clean, neat work all around. There's only one problem, the steering wheel is on the wrong side!! LOL

the basket, racks & track mounts are from "rola" racks. the tracks are mounted onto the roof with massive pop rivets! they are very strong, the weakest part is paper thin panels suzuki use.
