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

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?

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

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

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.
