:welcome: to :suzuki: club UK

Nice SJ, sounds like its got ain interesting roof! would be cool to see some pics of it!

One thing I noticed, are you still using the standard steeing set up with spoa? or is there a drop pitman arm on there? it might benefit you to run a hi-steer set up as it might improve the 'wandering' issue

also worth checking the caster angle on the front is correct as well, easiest way to do this is to put an angle finder on the prop flange face and chaeck that it's at 10 degrees.

Cheers for the welcome and input ScottieJ, will check the prop angle next time I get under it and as for the drop pinman arm, I thinks its probably standard as before I added the extra leafs the zbar was Dangerously close to the underside of the leafspring! so will look into it cheers.
Roof is a constant pain in the neck leaks a lot round the edges and had to silicon it in despite having good seals and no obvious leak points, so can't remove it anymore as it rains more than it shines but still looks good.

Photo of my leaky roof added and Cheers Jordi
Im on the hunt for Door mirrors as I have one smashed on passanger side and both on my cut down doors, anyone know where I can get some new ones?

Thanks Rikk

Ahhh I see now that your running a Z link, was a bit of an optical illusion in the picture that you were running a straight steering link but I jus realised its the N/S leaf spring that's perfectly in line with it :oops: :lol:
Either way a high-steer set up is a good improvement over a Z-link

That roof looks pretty cool but leaky roofs do get boring after a while!

I've got a passenger side mirror but it was painted white and its all flaking off. don't want much as its been sat around for years!

Cheers OllieSJ

Hello Dan, did a mod site at the plains in Tidworth (where clarkson faced off the challenger) sept last year in the SJ on a LR organized pay n play day, sorry to admit, but was an epic day out (mates a member) and wasn't the only suzuki there
Also my SJ snuck into a picture of the p&p day in LR monthly oopps, is that a bannerble offence at scuk? haha

ScottieJ Cheers will look into a hi-steer setup anything that would improve the wandering issues got to be a good thing, cheers for the offer of the mirror but could do with a few more as its always a good thing to have some back ups

Cheers all
Rikk
