There is an old saying. Once you're in a hole. Stop digging!

Suzuki GV2000. A nicely prepared example to show that these slick Suzukis can still cut it off road as well as their Jimny stablemates. LA Supertrux bumper and winch mount, suspension lift and bigger BFG All Terrains are the main mods. Mike Line hales from the deep south of England so it was no mean road journey either.
