Forums Forums Jimbo : Suzuki Vitara Sport

Most of you have seen my latest motor, had it about 3 months now. Gone back to my roots with another suzuki 4x4 This one won't be getting b.astardised like the last one though... much

It's standard bar a minor fatboy kit, an A bar and some side steps (or "rock sliders" as I call them)

Me being me I've been off roading it a bit, and recently I borrowed some bigger tyres on alloy wheels from mike (my little bro) for an off road event this weekend. Pics from that can be seen here: click me (dial-up viewers put the kettle on) The white samurai is my old one, now owned by my bro.


Here's some of my own pics:









C+C's welcome

Oh, err it's now minus the mud flaps as they got in the way today, and plus a small, hardly noticable modification to the back bumper after using my right foot too much on a steep incline (skipped sideways into a rock )

gutted about the back bumper mod.

looks great mate, makes me want to get one after being in yours on the beach, just looks so much fun

any new mods planned?

that offraoding looks amazing fun, where about is it? you gotta pay to go on it?

The back bumper's not a problem, sounds worse than it looks, and everything still works.

Most sites are pay and play, that one's in Mouldsworth quarry, inbetween Chester and Helsby and costs £25 for the day. Open on the first sunday of every month. There's a small site in Bromborough that's free that I'll have to show you sometime. I think it's council development land but it's been untouched in years, there's plenty for 4x4s and crossers alike.

As for future mods, I don't want to do much as I'll be returning it to standard to sell before I go to Oz next September. I can get an easy-to-fit 1.25" lift kit for it for £100, as soon as that's on I'll have some bigger tyres underneath it. I want to install a CB radio too as they come in really handy for off roading days.

Main aim is to stop it looking like a hairdressers car!

You still thinking about a Samurai? If so stop thinking and start doing!

I looked at the link you posted,
and i was going to reply and say,

Jim your car looks best dirty !
Then i scrolled down your topic.

And now i have to say it looks great
dirty and shiny

cheers webby

maybe not a samurai, but a 4x4 of some kind. The only thing thats holding me back is a garage to store my beemer whilst im using it, cas I aint paying for insurance for both at the same time!

Nice to see ur bro's looking after my old seats lol. Sweet pics mate.*******ise it more,y'know ye want te.I'd love to get into off roading but cant afford to

Lol, me neither mate! Hence another reason why I don't wanna do much to it. What I've got lined up will drastically improve the off road performance and get things sweet in the looks dept. too, so I can have a little play about in it every now and then and still keep it looking smart for road use and cruises... or that's the plan

Bollicks to Cruising mate, after looking at the link at the top of the page with your pics on i want a go.......



We went to Toms Farm last weekend on my quad and shelby's quad too, that was awesome.

You been to tom's yet james ??

cheers for taking me off-roading jim, it was brill. I gotta get myself a 4x4 now!! it'll look amazin with them huuuge 31" wheels on lol

Heya Jay, not been to Toms farm meself but my bro's been a couple of times, I've heard it's a goodun but the mud can be quite damaging to bearings etc. I'd want diff breathers and a seperate daily driver to do it in the vit!

Joe, I guess that means I succeeded in my mission?

possibly....we'll have to see

Spoken to the fella who's gonna sort me out with my lift kit, and he's not gonna have any more in for 4-6 weeks gutted, was hoping to have a chance at car of the year.
