In preparation to fit a winch there I have had to make room for a bigger battery so moved Radiator overflow bottle and set up a new battery tray which i got out of a V6 Escudo at the wreckers but had to modify mounting due to where the snorkel is located. http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y506/pac...

Been a while since I've updated anything on this build, more to come in the next few weeks but not a lot has happened lately apart from general maintenance. Was just starting to make mounts for my rear bar when I found this at the wreckers and brought real cheap. http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...

Suzuki Sj413 Solid Axle into 1992 Suzuki Escudo ?

Hi

Just toying with the Idea of putting a solid front axle in my Escudo and seeing what’s involved/Cost was wondering if an Sj413 diff would be the right size and if so if it could be used with standard escudo rear diff providing the gearing matched.

Any advice/feedback would be appreciated.

So thought it might be time for a bit of an update on the build as it’s been a while.

Plus I also put in new sparkp...

40mm Spring Lift (Questions)

Am Looking at purchasing some new springs for my Suzuki Escudo Nomade 1992 LWB (5door) for a 40mm lift and was wondering where others had purchased there's from?
My understanding is that you can run factory shocks without issue with a 40mm lift.
Also is it common to change camber bolts as well?
