Re: Snorkle

If you want a snorkel now, Outdoor Auto is the only supplier in Oz. I think he brings in the FTS brand from Taiwan. ARB are, allegedly, "working on one" but you may be waiting a while for it to become available, if at all. And do you really want to cut a big hole in your shiny new GV? You ...

Re: Tyre Size - Grand Vitara

Good to hear that you found some tyres that fit. You'll have to come along to the next meeting and show them off.
