something new

Post by suzukisteve » Wed Jan 30, 2013 4:48 pm

ok so I love my sj, no doubt about it. However I want a van to chuck stuff in the back.

in my opinion there is but one solution.. tin top sj. but thats easier said than done..

ive put a fair amount of time and effort into my little beastie. she may not look much but shes been well looked after.

so do I get a tin top or just stick with her? I just need a bit more space etc.

what do u guys think?

I had that issue. So i bought a pickup. I'd stick with it. Possibly get a normal hood too for a bit more space.

It would be ashame to get rid of such a nice Zuk.

There's no more room in the back of a tin top. What do you need the extra space for? Why not make make your own storage set up with some drawers etc. to maximise space.
