Hey guys, i'm a new driver from bristol, and thought you guys might want to check out my first car, a mechanically pretty standard SJ410 but with homemade roofrack (Now black) and painted as a military version,

Im looking to invest in a rooftop tent so any advise there would be great,

I'd love to lift the body, and put some nice hefty tires on her, but thanks to insurance restraints on new male drivers looks like thats a no no for now :(

still let me know what you think, btw there are some SWEET SJ's on here, i'm very envious

oh and the L plates are now a thing of the past

Cheers man,

and just wondered if anyone had any experience in putting one on an sj, that website is really useless though, i think its a chinese company.

:welcome: to :suzuki:clubuk matey

I'm just down the road in Corsham (well a short drive!)

Looks like a tidy 410, If you ever need any help, advise or even spare bits post up and I'm sure there'll be someone to help, I have a small hoard of SJ spares :lol:
