I found some on ebay

Its basically a irregular triangle.

Point a b c

A mounts on the spring
B is 4 inches away from a
C is 5inches away from a

I guess it prevents having "fangs" if you had a height
Adjustable ladder shackle and was using the lowest
Setting.

Not really a big fan of the arches they look quite landrovery... and I agree the scoops are a bit silly...

Also, is it on wheel spacers? The wheels aren't very offset and they stick out a lot!

Its nice to see a new one but if I was going to import I'd rather get a Farm Worker instead...

I really like the arches, loads better than actual landrover arches :lol:

Wouldn't mind one of the maruti pick up backs for mine, then again I like the open back in the summer.

Wonder what we'd all spend our cash on if we were rich?

the farmworkers are available her in NZ, 14k nzdollar. they aren't road legal though, which is a real killer
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

as will probably be the case with the escapade...
if you want it road legal over here you would probably have to import and put it on and old LWB chassis

Farmworker doesn't meet modern emissions standards by miles, and as the Eeco engine used in the Escapade only meets Euro IV specs (from 2005) when Euro VI specs kick in in September theres going to be trouble :(

Need to find actual emissions figures really, I thought all you could find was that it said it meets euro IV but what's the actual figures? Does it only just scrape those figures or beat them by a long way?
