Shoot I would have some notches cut in for the hi-lift with that bumper. That thing is sweet looking! Come on admit it . . .   you know you like it.

Alright I fired off an email to Trail Ready to see if it is theirs. I was looking for prices however and it looks like they run around $950. IF thats the case it back to the ho made one for me. That would be way of the budget for my mods this year. Sweet looking bumper though!

Joejoekuo,
I noticed 5wd has the steel front diff and third for sale as well. That would let you avoind shipping I would imagine.

What do you have to read the web sites?

As for Trail Ready, the Liberty forums speak of all the different designs for them on the bumpers. I think TR was the heaviest in weight. ARB makes a bumper for the Libertys as well as the Vitaras (Seen pics on one of those Chinese site links).

use this http://world.altavista.com/
should be chinese-trad  to english.

I am on a MAC so it has about 30 languages built into Sherlock for translations. I have done some pretty crazy searches on the google.tw search page as well with Sherlock. The thing to figure out is how they are wording certain things, like we say "3" lift" they say "3 lift up" or fender flares are called over fenders. You get a lot more stuff that way.

Like this site in Japan. Looks like they sell a CD catalog of every manufacturer in Japan and elseware. Showing mainly Sami and Jimny but try clicking on the names of the companies right under the images and you get their full listing as well. Some sell universal and GV and XL-7 stuff. As for contacting them thats another story. Another search for the name using google.jp would probably work.

Cool pics, I need to get to Taiwan....Thanks.

Sure! Welcome to Taiwan.

Any lessons learned from his work?

Yes! Spend a lot of money!

I notice he used the shock stub conversion on the rear shock. I've got a set and wasn't sure if it was necessary. Only concern I have is with the overall width of the shock body as the track arm mount on the axle is mighty close to it during droop on left side, compression of right side.

What did he do for the steering shafts?

I don't know! I haven't seen his car yet! I 'll take photos next time when I see him.

joejoekuo,
Do you know if they sell there 4" and 3"  as kits or is something like they only do in their shop?
Also I tried to find an email address for them but couldn't find it :-/ So that I could bug them instead of bugging you  
George

I think the 5-wheel boss only runs local business. But you couls write this e-mail address to him and ask: suzuki.hung501|removethispart|@msa.hinet.net
But I am not sure he will mail you back or not. I just know his English is very very poor!

Joejoekuo,

Where the guy with GV get that front bumper? That thing is awesome looking . . .

I have no idea where I can buy that bumper, but I know how to get the information. Actually I love this bumper,too. But the price is around $600 and need to order at least 5 pcs.

I knew! My friends are asking the local dealer to update their Al-front-diff to iron with few money(about $60~150). That is the point!

That web-site is all talking about this book:

http://www.apollo-pr.co.jp/editorialdep/4p_page/2005/index.html
I bought this book(4WD.SUV buy guide)and got some data. But I feel disappointed because there is few pages about GV. In Japan, most of Suzuki suv are Jimny. But in Taiwan, we got Jimny and GV(L-7). If you guys could read Chinese, this is biggest L-7 family in Taiwan. The web-site is: http://clie.ws/bbs/index.php?c=23

I think this is the body lift kit they sell.

Yes! You are right. But 5wd didn't mention how many inches for this kit.

Well I finally got a price back from Jeppaplast for their fiberglass fender flares for the Zuk. $1100 US . . .  

Looks like either the flares will come off and I may try carving some from a Montero Sport, or I am thinking I may be able to get away with stretching these with a little help from my Pop. He is an electrician and has the PVC stove. I mean if they have to come off either way, what do I have to lose.

My wife has also informed me my budget has been cut in half, so this is now a BUDGET build. Here are my options and I would like to know what you guys think I should do.

A. Buy the Yoko AT tires, OME struts, RRO body lift, wheel spacers, and spring spacers? Which would mean forgoing the front and rear bumper at this time, which if I leave them on would put me in jeopordy of having major rub occur. Or leave them off and have the truck look incomplete til I can save enough more money. You input.

B. Buy the Kumho AT 265/75, keep my spare, buy a welder, steel, OME struts, and RRO body Lift, and a used winch? Which would mean I would have a welder to do all my steel work but lack everything else.

C. EBAY route, offname tires, keep my spare, buy a welder, steel, OME struts, RRO body lift, used winch and wheel spacers? Which all I would be missing then would be spring spacers (which right now I don't know that I need).

Thanks in advance.

hi guys im new to all of this good stuff. my question is what is the biggest tire i can fit on my 2004 xl7 without doing any other mods. also who makes a lift kit for this?
