Nice looking zook, what year is it 94? with the injection engine? You seem to have misplaced your front number plate or maybe its out of the camera shot? more pics please we love them! If you want to buy any extras for your suzuki i'd recommend a set of free wheeling hubs, they help keep the fuel costs down

there are some on eBay although they are expensive

They sit in the centers of your front wheel and a lever on them disengauges the drive to your driveshafts. At the moment when you drive the front wheels turn, then the drive shafts, then the diff and then the propshaft to the t box front axle input shaft. When you fit these it stops everything internal from turning on your front axle, this means you dont have as much rolling resistance & you reduce the wear on your front axle driveline. The down side is you have to get out and 'lock' them before you put your SJ in 4wd.

Nice, is that an SJ413? It looks clean, so come on then where's the rust hiding :D I found a ton of it when I folded the front windscreen down ;)

Im new here too :) Mines a stock SJ410 1987 Spanish built rust bucket :armsup:
