Superb Viji! So when do we take her out!

Viji add Snorkel and raise the silencer level, I mean make it water proof.

It’s pouring in Karnataka, Best time to do this mod’s and try river crossing

Hi Snorkek is ready waiting to fix it. Tinkers are busy in solotech motors.

Hi SwastikViji,

You Gypsy looks good with the SPOA & RUF.

I would suggest you don't cut the rear over hang, you vehicle looks unique and purposeful, with the SPOA, Maxxis Tyres and the Soft-Top.

Regards,

Arka

Congrats Viji,

Want to see it in flesh, please let me know when that's possible.

Cheers

And we did some good load testing also. One thing i have to say, finish is really good compared to the usual stuff we manage to get or fabricate. I think you have done a great job Viji.

Thats a real good plate, it is a mix of both Plate and the Pipe/bar design. I always felt a plate is better than the pipe as all the muck gets to the transfer case and the plate type protects in both rock damage and also mud / small stones. In this design even in slush / muck very little is going to get through till the transfer case.

I can say.. That’s a brilliant transformation happening. This is triggering my long suppressed desire of owning a Off Road Gypsy

One more crazy fellow in happening. Good luck to you, but there are very few in the market for sale and if you are lucky enough you get one.

Viji,

The looks of your King CRAB is awesome, just looking forward for a ride soon.
