    "...26 inches of ground clearance..." ???
    It'll do those speed bumps at the mall quite well...







    Cheers.

    I kind of like it...wouldn't replace the VX though. To bad it didn't have a solid front axle. I think it would have sold WAY better to the off road crowd.

    I like the looks of that Vitara, esp the wide open fenders and high exaust. I gather it's your inspriation?


    I would say your VX looks more capable /bias. How about a shot from the side? I'd like to see how far that rear wheel is sticking out. Did that require extra bracing?

    Wow, can't believe I didn't realize that wasn't your ride Kenny. My apologies.

    At least I found the picture I was looking for:

    That thing looks like it should be doing wheelies down the street during a Shriners appearance in a parade.

    The Suzuki has a lot of good ideas incorporated, but I think 26" of ground clearance is wishful thinking.

    And to top it all off, those poor tires and wheels look like a fat woman squeezed into some tiny pants. Them thar wheels is toooo wide for them thar rubbers....

    Lose that, the spare tire Frankenstein thing goin on there, and put a S/C in it, and maybe we can talk, heh.
