4X4 Newb
« on: May 09, 2005, 02:34:42 AM »
Hello. My name is Dryw (sounds like Drew).
I'm from Ottawa Canada. I'm a good friend of JDMCRX. The local Suzuki dealer gave him such a great deal on his Grand Vitara I went in and told them to hook me up.
I now have a silver 2001 GV 4x4 5 spd with 82,000km. So far, I love it.
I'm planning on larger tires, with a suspension lift via coil spacers this fall.
Hope to get as much info off this site as possible.

The pics turned out well.
Those white rims on your GV would look way better in black.

Hey guys.

I'm also a 4x4 newb from Ottawa.

Here is my new-to-me 2002 Tracker. I just bought it with 37000 kms. ;D
Probably not going to be doing any hardcore wheeling, as it's my daily driver, but I will be doing the logging trails around my camp and am looking forward to playing in the snow this winter.



JDMCRX, I gather you're also in Ottawa. If so, I'd like to take a look at your GV and your strut spacer kit, probably this spring.

My summer toy, also a zuk:


See you around.

I'm not sure about the brand, as they were put on by the PO. I think they are Nitro. They're 16 inches by ?? wide. Don't know the width of them, but the tires are 225/60R16.

The wheels are currently in storage at my dad's, as I've got my winter steelies on the truck now, but next time I'm at my dad's I check the brand and post back up.

Holy crap there are a lot GVs in Ottawa. I am also in Ottawa I have a 99 GV 5 speed. I am not a Newb to offroading but I haven't used the GV offroad yet. I also met a guy with a 2 door Tracker with 29 in tires here as well.

I know of about ten trails all around the Ottawa area (mostly west near Calabogie) Some are stock capable with some really cool sections for modified trucks. I have wanted to bring the GV offroad but haven't had the guts as this is my DD and the wife would kill me if I broke anything (we just tell her) ;)

We should all get together for a trail run or we could just do beer and wings sometime.

Really, but understand that I'm by no means going to rock crawl the thing. Logging trails, fireroads, and shallow mud are pretty much the most off-road it'll see. Basically, if the trail's tight enough that I'm going to have branches scratching the sides, it'll be too tight for me.

Basically, I spend my spring, summer, and fall on the motorcycle, so the truck only really drives in winter.
