I sold the 4x bfgs for $180, so I paid $150 +$20 to mount the spare, and I guess $10 for gas $... But now I have this.33 to mock up with (which is likely as big as I can go without serious fab)

Went out today and started right rear...

Engine swap would be sick... Easiest to stay in the same platform... I guess they made 1.6 vitara, 2.0 vitara, 2.5 grand vitara, and 2.7 xl7...
Specs:
1.6 I4 g16b 90hp @ 5600 ( one year only 2dr 5spd had 5.13s)
2.0 I4 j20a 127 @ 6000rpm/134tq @3000
2.5 v6 H25a 155hp @6500/160tq @ 4000
2.7 v6 173hp @6000


So went out again....
Tried the other rear passenger.... Worked out in the end... Still need to seam seal... Hard to be symmetrical when the hammering ir in folded rhe bottom metal more at an angle than straight but I can live with it...

Went out and took some before pics of the roof rack....I think this is one of those things that once painted will help bring it all together...
