Hey man that thing is sweet. Is it all certed or was the rewelds just in case you decide to cert it in the future?

I'm currently coiling my 413 on Hilux axles (trailer truck) and was wondering what length rear springs you are running and if the upper mount is under chassis rail or beside it?

Keep the pics comin

[toysuzi]

the rear springs are 12" tall 150lb qa1 coils and go on to the chassis rail
had in this pic 14" tall 175lb qa1 coil

from a dissel bj40 76 to 79

[mroffroader]

Nice work....thats a nice tidy rear bar, did you make it?

[toysuzi]

got the power steer box and found the pump and mount
but still need to find were i put the pullyes.

I had to take the frount clip off again and cleaned
up the front of the chassis to mount the box
also using a Daihatsu pit man arm as is a lot flatter

[dino]

that is one seriously mint truk dude

[toysuzi]

took the suzi up to the nelson club mag and turbo fun day
with power steering and fuel cell working
got the power steer pull and idler off trade me for $90

did not win but got fasted time in time trial and a lot of
air time



also lots of mud to play in as well

[wopass]

sooo coooool

[toysuzi]

priced up the cage the other day at http://www.alltrax-nz.co.nz
here in nelson $1500 for a full 6 point cage also looking at
seats and 5 point harness

also selling the t-case with gears on trade me at the moment although they wore a lot off fun for mucking around
for the high speed stuff they wore a bit low

[Helga410]

Vitara Radiator
adjustable Proportioning valve
Bushwacker fender flares (6")

Excellent build!
May I ask a couple of questions?

Did you manage to source the flares and proportioning valve here in NZ or source them in from the US?
I noticed the Rocky Road Outfitters sticker on windscreen.....I spent a bit there for my Xmass present

The Vitara radiata - did it clash with the original steering box? any chopping of inner guard needed? and are you running an electric fan?
I'm asking as I'm worried about cooling once I bring the winch in to the front , I have been thinking of alternative radiators.

[toysuzi]

both the flares and the adjustable Proportioning valve came from rocky road outfitters
but you can get adjustable Proportioning valves from a few places in NZ

the flares are two rear sets of Jeep Wrangler in which RRO and trailtough have a deal
with Bushwacker so they can sell it as the one set.

the Radiator fitted fine with the std steering box just had to make a complete new mount on passengers side
and modified the drives side mount
i ran the std fan on the engine as well.

[Helga410]

Thankyou for that, much appreciated , It has given me a couple more options to look at.

[toysuzi]

little more been done
got some trans tunnel boots made
the rear drive shaft balanced
go the indicator lights working
also shaved the bottom of the rear diff
and moved the diff spring mounts as was originally done for a normal drive shaft as was centered toy diff with suzi t-case
now has the toy t-case ect with double cardon drive shaft



still saving up to get the cage

with the diff i got +/- 15mm extra clearances so the same as a 30mm taller tire

[toysuzi]

First off i put a hole in the side of one of the shocks so i got
rancho rs9000 but the body of the shock was a lot bigger
a little bit cutting had the new shocks are fitted

Entered the top the the south winch challenge so
at the moment we took the suzi around at altrax to get a 6 point cage
and bucket seats should be done by next week.
Also got a 8274 warn hi top winch and a 6hp warn xp winch motor
and 45 meters of 9mm Dynex Dux 75 Overbraid winch rope

pics to came when i get it back

[Heath]

Can you describe the fuel system a little for me please? Is that a fuel cell or have you modified the existing tank? I am considering (way in the future) a fuel cell in the back of the vitara to get some clearance in the rear.

Heath

[toysuzi]

mainly my problem was that the fuel cell is not set up for the efi (the one i got)

so i have a carby pump to fill the surge tank (to 1st of 3 fittings on top)
a line from the surge tank to the efi pump (bottom fitting)
return from engine to surge tank (to 2nd of 3 fittings on top)
and a return form surge tank to fuel cell (to 3rd of 3 fittings on top)

hope it helps
