Hi Everyone
I've just gotten my first modified green laner (and am very excited!). It's a 1998 2.0 V6 Vitara with the back cut off and an interesting paint job! I'm looking to stick some off-road tyres on, refurbish and put on a bull bar I've gotten hold of, and get a diff guard on as I'm hoping to see how we go laning with no lift. I'll attach a photo of it at present... hopefully it'll be looking a little more rugged soon!

If you ever decided to get rid of those wheels and tyres i would be be very interested in them,subject to the price being right that is.

Thanks dan_2k_uk
RickUK,
I'm keeping the wheels for now I'm afraid, and the tyres aren't in good condition anyway really. But I'll let you know if that changes!

At first glance i thought it was just your usual camo paint job. Just noticed its been done with lots of bird stencils

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Thanks for the welcomes guys :-)
Interesting paint job indeed! My Grandad is a rather creative professional sprayer and was let loose with this one... You're right Ferris, it's all duck stencils! I believe he took his inspiration from a tv show called 'Duck Dynasty' (I've not heard of it either)
![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
But the truck is now affectionately named Duck. As this was a good condition vehicle though I wasn't looking for a full respray... or 'duckoflage' for that matter, but I love it's quirkiness now

Its worth keeping at is so you can use the word "duckoflage" more often
