« on: June 30, 2004, 04:43:07 PM »
The 33's were laying beisde the shop this evening while I was changing tires  (Junk 205x75's to new 235x75's).  SO Slapped the 33x9.50's BFG AT KO'S  On the Kick this evening just ot get an ideia of the look (not a perminent thing yet).  It was about 10pm.

I could, and I want to, BUT the wife is actually talking about driving this one.  If she will do that and loose the 200k miles Grand Cherokee thenI'll leave it alone.   Otherwise it is fair game for the implements of destruction.

Looking nice Rhinoman,  How do they pull.  Mine look very skinny.  We have unavoidable deep mud here along the coast, so not sure how they will do.  I was looking for a good hwy compromise tire and these came up used for a good price.

Whit,
You should know by now, that's how it always starts. An innocent glance into what it could be, and the next thing you know, the whole front end is cut out making a lift to clear bigger meats ;D What did your wife think about the 33 look? You should be able to keep it streetable with 33x9.50's, if you gear it ;)

Looks Good, Hook the wife up with a sweet looking rig 8)

Hood scoop is factory. It looks like a performance item but they started fitting them when they brought out a model with the Mazda 2ltr diesel engine. It was too tall so they put the scoop on. Its a pain when wading cos all the water that comes up over the bonnet when you drop down into the water gets deposited over the top of the motor. Still it looks good  ;D

Zig,
   She is still Peev'd about me cutting up the 4-dr.  She didn't see it with the 33's.  She will take her first ride in it on Sat. 4-hr drive to the beach.  If we leave early ehoungh she will probally drive while I sleep (I'm working nights).

There was someone in the US who imported one. I don't know how hard it would be to get one, there are a lot of Vits with them but they're late models. I'm going to a breakers on Monday so I'll ask if they have any. Knowing what breakers are like they'll probably only sell them with the hood. I expect they would be lots of money from Suzuki.
PS My gf didn't want to be a Zuk widow so she bought a shiny new Jimny and she offroads it too.
