Lol your brother in law is my brother.
Bighorn for something a lil bit bigger. Bit too small to try and sleep in the back of the wizard.

Oh crack up. I have toured south island with 1 other and sleept in the back. Works well and im 6ft 1. If you ever need to know anything about that thing. Let me know as I know that truck inside and out. I would replace the front bumper asap and deal with the rust in the front of the chassis too. I bought it from whangarei. So typical salt damage

Went down Tekapo way and thrashed the canals trying to trick a salamon, no dice. Reminded myself the 2.7 G Vitara is only a ski wagon when I went through something that looked shallow with a gravel bottom - Swap those words for "water up round the bonnet" and "I can feel those rocks through the floor

". Glad it has "some" poke, turned around as I had to drive back through it and checked for water ingestion once on the safe side. Note to self - get the SJ running

That's when it had a diesel in it.... It has a 350 chev in it now.
Tidying it up over the last week or so.
Still have a good list of things to get to before taking it out.
