    I think the one you mean is a Suzuki SJ http://images.google.co.uk/images?so...-8&sa=N&tab=wi

    The guy was a right nutter, lol, he put dumper truck tyres on it and just drives them till they're dead!!

    Everyone has a snorkle here! With tones of rain and lots of muddy trails its a good idea! We had a great time and can't wait to make the VX more capable so we can do more


    heres everyone elses pictures http://www.tv4x4.co.uk/index.php?set...bum.php&page=1

    CROTCHROCKET--- Thanx for the added "link" to the additional pictures. Looks like you guys have a lot of fun!!!

    By the way, did you happen to check-out your other thread regarding "265, 275, 285" series tires??? I did some intensive research for you, and wanted to be sure you read it for your further consideration in tires for your 16x9 replacement rims???

    I had highly recommended various sizes of the Yokohama "Geolander M/T"; and based upon what I see from your pictures here in this thread, they would be the perfect lightweight M/T tire for you!!! Riff Raff

    Nice mud.
    That, or beaches, is what most of our 4 wheeling is like in Tassie.

    By the way, in the first post, photo #4, was you actually in 4wd??

    There is no way that my VX will spin a back wheel like that without also spinning both fronts, unless I was in 2wd only.

    If you were in 4wd, then me thinkee you have a drive problem.

    I notice the front wheels appear to have a different centre cap to standard. Are you fitted up with those terrible "auto" hubs??

    In 4wd low, the VX should have walked through that stretch.

    Some of the later ones were a bit more challenging. LOL

    looks like a stock axle to me...

    and the VX is limited slip, so the tire with the least resistence spins...

    so really....very rarely do both of your front tires spin

    Sorry pbkid, but a limited slip diff is exactly what stops one wheel spinning freely.

    If my VX is in 4wd low range, I can have one front wheel completely off the ground and it will not spin freely - there is always drive to both wheels.

    USA spec VX's have limited slip REAR diffs, & open fronts.

    If JDM's have limited slip fronts, It'll be the first I've heard of it...
