If you intend to do a lot of offroading involving deep water I would avoid as much electrickery as possible, it's more to go wrong and would be a shame to ruin the hard work that goes into installing it when it gets drowned :lol:

Have a look at Ginger_boy's website if you do want to go for it http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/shillingworl ... nd_mod.htm :thumbup:

i dont think ill be doing any deep water offroading i think ill stick to the green lanes, this is more of a daily driver than a offroader, so im trying to make it a nice car to be in which is why i have the pajero seats in it as they have so many adjustments and arm wrests lol i plan to carpet all the interior and make a new headliner but for now theres more serious things to sort like the valve guide seals need replacing so im going for a whole head gasket replacement, and thats the website i got the idea off

Id like to get my hands on a LWB SJ413 as i need a bit of a bigger boot for tools as i want to start doing mobile mechanics....

I also vote for the arch trim.

Looks amazing with the step but still think the arch needs trimming up.

new clutch cable fitted and wipers. have a nice cluth now and a pair of working wiper :O
a quick lick of paint here and there and shell be ready for MOT, decided to keep her considering ive put 2 years of hard work into her so next year you may see me at suzuki day.

so here a couple of pics:

for the wipers i used landrover wipers, suzuki sj wipers are hard to get hold of so i had to get th landy ones, i used adaptors for defender wipers and bought a pair of defender wipers with blades, and they work a treat, clutch cable was a blueprint part, alot cheaper than the firstline ones on ebay.
