yes mate i guess that star would look great or else try some great phrase on the side in a military font like for example:
don`t mind the shells - beware of my 4x4
furious by nature
well on mine i have `HEALTH WARNING - take care of your life, get out of my way |

Like the idea of the malteses cross
Its the worst paint job you have ever seen so some graphics may help hide the fact it was done in a couple of hours and that included fixing a ceased rear wheel cylinder and adjusting the clutch
I really need to loose the remaining white paint on the inside. Have also fitted a rear seat and lap belts so I can use it on sunny days with the family |

HeY if the paint job is a little rough
it sounds like stencil font lettering would look great
you just need to work out what you want to say........ |

Sshh Its not actually my hood. I the original white one which had seen better days and would have looked carp with the green paint so I nicked my brothers for now. Will have to do a deal with him when his goes back on the road.
Any body know where to get a pick up top |

Have you never heard of space saver spare wheels
Q. If you had a puncture and the only spare wheel you had was smaller in diameter than the rest, Where would you fit the smaller one. Front axle or rear |

Rear gets my vote, the diff would take care of any differences (just like running with one tyre under inflated) on the front it would pull heavily to one side on the steering and be really "interesting" when braking _________________ Suzuki now gone, replaced by Pajero's |

Yup I sure have heard of space saver spares. I even had to use one on my Golf GTi once but I soon got a real spare. Ever since then I have always had sets of 5. But wait a minute, your SJ would have come with a set of 5 matching tyres/wheels when it left the factory wouldn't it - but I appreciate that was many, many moons ago. Then again, I can tell you are joshing me unless you are really short of space outside the back tailgate.
And, just to add to the debate I carry a tyre inflator/repair in a can. _________________ Do it to them before they do it to you.

The wheels were (I think) Pirellis like the tyres and cost an arm and a leg - alloys were rare then. That is going back some................1988 I think. _________________ Do it to them before they do it to you.
