What can i say. I keep coming back to these old 4x4 suzuki. They are great, good value except fore the fuelconsumption. Good ride, 4x4 with low range.
I am not going extreme with the mods.
I’ve seldom used the roof rails anyways. The old one i fitted 215 tires which did performed well. 235 wide is just overkill. One can have another tire set if needed for some reason. SUV stuff or winter…
I just want to optimize things so i perhaps can enjoy the car a little more.
The underbody is just aero-dirty, the fendergap is huge, the rear is probably a dissaster. That should be free gains. But how much?
