I thought Landies weren't allowed on Zuki playgrounds

Not sure about the tire size. But what you've said makes sense. I'll be around mostly hills and some mud most probably. And it will be a daily runner too so welded diff is out of the equation. What could be the options for widening the track? Two that I've seen are wheel spacers and 413/Sammy (?) ax...

Hi all,

hope this is not a threadjack, but some of the SJs in this thread appear totally stock, little or no lift, no snorkels, not even M/T tires, only the "street" tires. I'm wondering how well such stockish SJ fare off road??

Hi all, Thinking and reading about the "basic" set of mods I talked about earlier, here is what I think should be enough for me for the time being: 1) bigger A/T (or M/T ? ) tires, 2) Spring-Over-Axle conversion, 3) And eventually, a "budget" diff lock like the PowerTrax Lockrigh...

Parts availability is absolutely no problem, you can find parts for the locally available budget suzuki vehicles in absolutely every corner of the country.

Things most prone to damage previous owner's misuse/neglect, things that in your experie...

Guys thanks for the feedback... Looks like it's def gonna be a 410. Gonna slap on some mudding tires for a start. Have to get one first, working on it...

Thanks twiss and Dan, that was quite quick and helpful... No problems with the insurance over here since it's not required by the authorities, so getting your car insured is totally up to you. Roads are usually ok, but you never know when you'll be hitting a road as bumpy and pot-holed as a beginner...

Hi all, signing in from all the way from Pakistan... I've been a fan of the SJ for quite some time and saving to buy one for some time now. We have only the hard-top, high-roof SJ410, called Potohar, in the Pakistani market; 413's (Samurai/Santana, soft-tops etc. are usually hard to find). I have AL...
