My First Green Laner :)
My First Green Laner :)
Hi Everyone
I've just gotten my first modified green laner (and am very excited!). It's a 1998 2.0 V6 Vitara with the back cut off and an interesting paint job! I'm looking to stick some off-road tyres on, refurbish and put on a bull bar I've gotten hold of, and get a diff guard on as I'm hoping to see how we go laning with no lift. I'll attach a photo of it at present... hopefully it'll be looking a little more rugged soon!

Thanks dan_2k_uk
RickUK,
I'm keeping the wheels for now I'm afraid, and the tyres aren't in good condition anyway really. But I'll let you know if that changes!

At first glance i thought it was just your usual camo paint job. Just noticed its been done with lots of bird stencils

Hi, welcome. Interesting paint job!
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Re: My First Green Laner :)
Thanks for the welcomes guys :-)
Interesting paint job indeed! My Grandad is a rather creative professional sprayer and was let loose with this one... You're right Ferris, it's all duck stencils! I believe he took his inspiration from a tv show called 'Duck Dynasty' (I've not heard of it either) But the truck is now affectionately named Duck. As this was a good condition vehicle though I wasn't looking for a full respray... or 'duckoflage' for that matter, but I love it's quirkiness now

Its worth keeping at is so you can use the word "duckoflage" more often

Welcome to club UK!
Certainly an interesting Vitara! I'm sure you'll enjoy it and it will do you proud.
