Being an early model it had the washer under the bonet next to the radiator. I relocated it to inside the guard using a later models washer. Also had to move the rad overflow bottle to oposite side.

From there i made my own tray and fitted a D34 optima yellow top. Isolation is controled by an automatic redarc 100amp isolator. Since photo was taken i have replaced the Delcor battery with a N70ZZL (700CCA) and installed a battery monitor to keep an eye on the state of charge in the 2 batteries.



 

hay bush buster what are the rims on the white vitara off of? and are they 15 or 16?

Oops, it's been a while since i've been on here. The rims cam off a ford truck but the guy told me they originally came off a barracuda. They required wheel spacers to fit as well as lower profile bolt heads on the hub bolts.

I think he was mistaken.  Plymouth Barracuda's used a 5x4" bolt pattern.  Much smaller than our 5x5.5" pattern.

However Barracuda's did have a similar wheel to your "Turbine" style rim.  He may have meant that or been confused by it.

hum my friend bought a set in moncton new-brunswick canada, told me they were remolds

Last I knew Silverstone (and the Simex tires they are modeled after) aren't available in the US/Canadian market.  Supposedly you can get them imported through some online tire dealers overseas but no clue on the veracity of that.

The Simex and Silverstone tires are brand new tires.  If someone in NA makes a recap with a similar tread than that's something else.

Interesting, either the old guy was full of it (don't know why he would make that up) or his memory is failing after all these years! He was scrapping the old F150 so it had probably been a while. Oh yeah, they're 15".

they are awesome love the look of them.

Im running 31x10.5 16 Silverstone Xtremes and what i had to do so the wouldnt rub inside the front guards was remove the inner plastic guard and flatten the panel lit a bit.

There is nothing you can really do about them rubbiung on the chasis as the GV's dont have steering stops.
 

Really close. Actually rubs when turning in reverse.


Marked where it needs more clearance.


Lots of mud behind plastic panel


Fold flap straight then hammer flat.


All flattened and sprayed black


Heaps more space.

Gained about 10-15mm and took about 1/2 hour to do.

Hi there!!!


New in the community, always be quad-rider so this time change a little bit ---almost same size with a lot of better things to do with!!! --- so here's my ride:

-- 2001 Chevy Tracker 2d a a/c 4x4 101k bought it a month ago.
-- K&N oem fit air filter
-- 2in suspension lift (installed by myself)
-- 30x9.50 R15 on oem wheels (love them)

next to do:

-- 2in body lift
-- electric radiator fan
-- rockford fosgate oem size speakers
-- double din alpine head unit
-- bull bar with winch.

Finally got the tires and rims mounted on the ZR2.   Running Jeffs Coil and strut spacers, as well as Doetsch tech shocks. 30X9.5" General Grabber AT2's on 15x7" rims (had to grind the calipers slightly.   Have the BL sitting in the shed, but the weather and homework haven't allowed me to install it yet.    Im going to reinstall the rear bumper after the BL, and leave the front off until I can find something better.  Haven't had much rubbing yet.   but I know I will need to do some trimming and banging.   Work in progress...
