Thread: About to take the SVX plunge

Just got to 100ks, and loving it.

So far so good, just as well now I'm in hock.

The electrics went in easy, standard driving light relay in Pax seat box to trigger the just fitted HIDs. Plenty of space there for the UHF chassis. Though just thinking about the holes I drilled in a car I've just bought made me double check every time I got the drill out.

Only one minor niggle, the absolute lack of storage, box aside. Though now that I have pulled the 3rd row seats, the Space Case fits perfectly in the back and is full of recovery gear etc.

I will post some pics in teh next few days.

Cheers, Tony

PICS of the above Please

All good infomation. Thanks Allan.

Okay, ARB were helpful in the end, but I doubt they have the market to solve the SVX driving light problem.

I have ordered a Scorpion Winch Tube bar from rovacraft and a Tigerz11 Winch.

They are also sending me a snorkel.

I went for a short (dusty) drive on sunday to determine where the dust will come in and have since siliconed the joints and added some more foam tape around the doors.

Have fitted SuperNova HIDs, about to upgrade the H4 and H9 lamps to HID, have installed the ARB compresssor, CB and replaced the 3rd row seats with two Space Cases. Will apply soem more tint to the sun roof after work tomorrow.

I am really happy with the car.

Now can someone tell me? I should be able to fit 265/75/16's on this. They will be the same rolling dia as the current 235/80/16's. How big can I go with out suspension mods?
