I just bought a 99 GV and have finally found some decent after market wheels for it and i am considering the calmini lift. do any of you have this lift...
Wow no replies, I know there are people here that use it. I don't have it, but aspire to someday. It is the most complete system addressing CV angles,...
Hi Brett, imported the 2.5 inch Calmini lift 4 years ago and installed it on my 99GV. It makes the world of difference in terms of off road capability. No...
i would hear a couple clicks while turning to the right and backing up slowly...like backing out of a parking spot. the alignment is ok according to a local...
The beginnings of a CV joint going bad is what it sounds like to me. I'm surprised it's happening, as the joints on these things are usually pretty durable....
Hmmmmm....that's interesting. I have it, too. Kind of a like a dull click or two when backing up and turning. I've had the Rocky Road Outfitters suspension...
... dull click or two when backing up and turning. ... exactly what i've been hearing for the last few weeks or so. i want to get it fixed and i want to save...
Chaps, before condemning the CVs, strip, clean, and lubricate the front pads and caliper sliders- mine went through a phase of making an occasional light...
see now you bring up something i noticed when i did the front brakes...i can't remember exactly, but it was either the inner or outer pads wearing away much...
David, mate, *I'd* think if it were the brakes, they'd click once or twice, then stop. I should have asked if this clicking continued while backing up,...
... Bumper covers will swap AFAIK. But remember they look different. Foglamps mount to the bumper, so if you can get a bumper c/w lamps just swap the wiring...

Being that I'm not a mechanic, and have limited knowledge of how things work on this trucklet, I'm going to direct this question to the gearheads on the list: ...
From what I learn the only changes between the 98 GV to the 04 GV are cosmetics, inside you will find the same anchor points to all the parts that have been ...
From my experience the convenience of the automatic locking hubs are in the chance of getting your feet wet, but I also heard a lot from the dissengaging ...
Mmmmmm, because it's tied to wheel rotation speed, I'm gonna stick with CV. This isn't meant to sound flippant, but blow it off for a while, see if it's worse...
I did it for the reasons Juan stated...reliability. The last thing I want is to be stuck in either snow or off-road with only one wheel drive because of a...
Okay....so reliability...I get that. The air compressor or hose goes, you're stuck in 4WD. As far as the less moving parts theory, do manual hubs keep the CV...
... goes, you're stuck in 4WD. As far as the less moving parts theory, do manual hubs keep the CV joints and axles from turning. In other words, the wheel is...
Okay....this is starting to make sense. But doesn't this mean that even with manual hubs, you're still gonna need the air compressor to activate 4WD within...
... even with manual hubs, you're still gonna need the air compressor to activate 4WD within the differential? I'm asking because I thought it was necessary...
Well, not quite. Caution, this may get long... OEM, all the vacuum line does is engage the axles to the diff, but originally, on the GV, this occurs *within*...
The transfer case's diff breather is located at the rear of the engine compartment in the middle - right where the drivetrain connects to the engine. I hope...
One of the differences between Toyota transfers that I've dealt with and the GVs is that the GV's is synchronised. Back to the virtual GV. Driving in 2H,...
... engine compartment in the middle - right where the drivetrain connects to the engine. I hope you find it. ... Not on mine. Breather pipe rises on the RHS...
Hey all! My name is Ken, I'm from Regina, Saskatchewan (Canada). I drive a 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara. I've never posted here before, but I enjoy reading all...
