Vits are very good off road generally, all they need is a bit of a spring lift spacers or LWB GV springs and some decent MT's and because they are coil sprung they have slightly better on road manners than SJ's.

Try Bits4Vits website to give you some idea of the mods that are availble.....

Plenty of vits about, we opted for a hardtop in the end as they dont leak like a sieve...

Paid £250 for this one..mint interior, 10 disc autochanger +face off stereo, spare set of off road wheels, alloys with wide boy tyres, stainles sidesteps that'll go on ebay for a bomb, nudge bar, spots, roof bars etc etc

Good buy considering, needs one patch of welding (done) and rear wheel bearing...engine is almost silent and running a replacement NIKKI carb



loads more pics on the site under Cazuki

Plenty around for the right money...

Cheers Steve
