    Sundays Off Roading Pictures

    Well it was the first time i went, but the VX did well. Main issues were road tyres and bugger all ground clearance, i bottomed out EVERYWHERE !!. Do you guys have guards under your VX's ?? I have geabox and diff guards, Not to worry though as i have new wheels tyres and suspension lift ready to be put on for next time!!!

    So, since you last saw pictures i had a go at fixing the 'grey' cladding and getting it back to black and added some off roading bits. I also took the OEM mud guards off as they would have broken off in the first 5 minutes!!











    Speed Thrills, Boredom Kills!!

    Looks like a fun day!

    As the old saying goes...
    If you ain't been on one end of a tow strap, or the other,
    you ain't been off road...

    Cool pic's!!! What kind (brand/model) of vehicle is that in your 2nd posting in picture 1 and 4 (looks like a small Japanese 4x4 with a brush guard and big meaty tires)???

    Nice to have a LR Defender around for a quick tow. I also noticed that the majority of vehicles in the pictures commonly have "snorkal" air intakes for deep waterfording??? Here in the USA; air intake "snorkals" are not very common, and normally found only on more radically modified 4x4's. Lastly, nice lookin' girlfriend!!!

    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
