just picked this up on sunday afternoon,
went down to leeds for it , about 100miles each way.
i won it on ebay , but when we got there it would start hardly so i knocked just over 100quid off. so not too fussed.
spec that i know of
Extended, uprated shackles x4
Spring over Axle conversion
4x Bronco 215/75R15 Oversize Mud tyres (100% off road) in good condition.
4x 8x15" 8-spoke wheels
SU carb conversion
External Roll cage/Bull bar/Rock Sliders
Bonnet Vent
Snorkle
Trayback Conversion
Steel wide arches
Checkerplate door cards
4x Roof lights
2x Rear spot lights
Spare 215/75R15 Mud tyres on spoked steel wheel.
what it needs
new brake pads on front, rears need looked at
another windscreen
bought a full gasket set for it as it looks like the head gaskets gone thats its starting problem. so see if that sorts it if not i will be doing the vitara engine conversion !!
then just get proper filthy with it hahaha

Looks cool. I've got a 413 with lift shackles a bigger tyres.
They really good off road but a bit unstable. I really need a cage tbh.

just having a good look at it last night
bought some new front pads off ebay £8.48p haha every bit for these is so cheap . haha and a full gasket set for the head for 29.99 haha stem oil seals as well .
Also found the problem why is would run very well, a core plug had come out lol and was just filling the head full of water lol haha, got a new one and popped that in, just wating for the the gasket set then will wack the head back on and change all the gaskets . so hopefully wont leak all over my drive lol haha they are so simple to work on its like if you can build lego you can fix an sj lol

yer i can imagine there rather scary on the road , the suspension is soooo soft on mine so i reckon you could get a canny wobble on the go lol
mine has soooo much play in the steering , but looked and the track rod ends are very worn and have shed loads of play in them, hopefully a couple new ones should help abit . should be out next weekend in it as long as the new gasket set solves the water-oil mixing problem
