You didn't make it any taller so you could fit it in the garage right? ;D

Hi
the truck has calmini 3 inch suspension lift, hybrid 3 inch body lift - and a lot of trimming work on the inner front arches, which I left to SuzukiJon, our local guru.
The fender flares are from a fat boy vitara, they are still available from a couple of places here in the UK, if anyone wants a link I will post it up, let me know.
Haven't tested the gearing with my GPS yet, so can't say what effect the tyres have had - it feels OK on the road, but it's early days. The only gearing mod is 5.83 R & Ps, sammy t-case conversion might have to occur...
BTW I don't need to remove the antenna, the truck sits beside the garage, not in it...

cheers

Nick

gawd these trucks look great when they get 33's.

I should have stopped there. *sniff* She was perfect.

SAS is pretty cool, though.

always wanted to ask you the question heather.

given the many stages you built your sidekick. knowing the pros and cons of each stage. which was the best build, anf given the opportunity  to go back to any stage you wanted.

which one would you choose, and why ? also include tire size :)

you and your husband are probably the best folks to answer a question like this.

thanks

I want to take some time to give a detailed answer to this. There are two main stages that I would like to point out, with information. I'll post when I've got some time to write it up.

Very nice. I love trackicks on 33"s, part of me wishes I hadn't gotten a sammi. Oh well, I like the gearing and solid axle... just need my 1.6L in it!

33s really look great Nick!!! But even these will seem not-so-big after some time  ;D
Any info and prices regarding the fender flares would be much appreciated  8)
