Just picked this little cutie on Saturday. Proceeded to take it wheeling up the mountains in the background the very next day.

To come are: 3 or 4" lift, 31" tires on 15x7 steelies, 5.13:1 diffs, Detroit Locker rear, TrailTough t-case gears, new deck and speakers, skidplates and sliders, possibly bumpers.

PS: it's an 01 Vitara JX 4WD!

haven't been on here much in the past couple years, so here is what mine looks like now:








2 inch coil spacer lift with old man EMU's and pro comps, 245/75/R16's, Y back custom exhaust with flowmaster 40 series, other do-dads. needs a longer panhard bar real bad and some more trimming in the rear fender wells. It's a daily driver now and doesn't get wheeled other than when I decide I need to drive over something when it's not really neccesary. it's a really fun daily driver and I enjoy every minute of the excessive body roll. you can kind of see my wheelin rig in the background of the second to bottom pic, it's an 86 yota pickup with SAS and a bunch of other stuff. 

Man that looks sweet!! 

here is an update on my baby 







50mm spacers with dobinson shocks in the rear and the front factory with 225/75/16s

to come - bigger lift, sliders and turf the rails for a cargo rack

Hi guys, This is my first post here so I'll do a quick introduction

My name is Óttar and I'm from Iceland. I've always been into sport cars (first car a Dodge stealth and the second one a mitsubishi 3000gt VR4.)
But as a financial crisis is settling in over here I decided to get something more practical.

And then out of the Blue my uncle offered me his 97 vitara 2L turbo diesel for free. I couldn't pass that offer so now i'm joining your society.

A little info about the car.
He bought the car new in 97 and has taken good care of it since, always maintained by the dealership and I've got a receit for every little part that's went into this car.
the interior is like new and the body is pretty good for a 11 year old car.
It's lifted a tiny bit and I got it with new rims and tires.

The cam timing is a bit off, sounds like it has jumped one tooth, not enough to damage valves but enough to make it horrendously slow. Fixing that this week.

But now on to the pics.




I'm not really sure yet what my plans are, but I might decide to turn it into a toycar.

If there are any special precautions with this car when doing the timing belt and tensioner I'd love to hear them

Thank you.

Man that looks sweet!! 

thanks, your rig is comming allong quite nicely as well.

Well, here's mine. I just had to put new rubber on it, 235/75/15's, I really didn't want to do it until I got a lift for it, but I had to. Now I'll have time to get the transfer case gears along with the 31's and a lift! I took the running boards off for the weekend, I think they are off for good! I went with a few guys to play and try to get the Tracker stuck and it went through more than I thought it would! Even made a believer out of a guy with a Rubicon!

here's my 2001 tracker...

Toyota axles 5.71's, lincoln locked rear
YJ leaf springs
Samurai 4.16:1 t-case
37x14-15 Irok on 15x10 DC-1's

Hey bell, You may already know but your ride is in the Jan 09 issue of 4-wheel and offroad. As soon as I saw it I knew I's seen it before. I still think yours is the best looking Tracker or Sidekick I've ever seen!!! By FAR!

in reference to the above rig, why did you get 5.71's over 5.29's?

it does look like an awesome rig.

wow nice ride man. now only if that was all bolt on, lol really dont think my strata would let me do that to mine. nice work

Lower gearing. If you're worried about them blowing up, I wouldn't be:

Keep in mind they survive under rigs weighing a couple thousand pounds more than Suzukis.
