Bruce,
The wheels are ITP SS 108's that I got a good deal on. And they are skinned with Dirt Tamer Quad tires. But I am selling the tires to a friend and getting some mudlites because they are radials and will perform better on the minitruck (the others are not strong enough to last) Here's a pic of the rims.

Did you take off the moulding completely on the driver side, and just the portion behind the front wheel on the passenger side? that is what is looks like in the photo anyway but just want to be sure? I'm thinking of doing the same thing since I still get the occasional "rub" on the that trim piece. I've got a bit more offset compared to most people running 31" so I've already cut out quite a bit of material. Assuming you took off the trim...did you also do any additional cutting afterwards?
Yeah, I took off those pieces of molding, I also did some intence trimming. In fact I cut about 2" off. I had to tack weld the edges back together because I had to grind off the whole connecting edge of the body panel. I am in the process of taking the molding and resizing it (cuting it shorter, and syliconing it back together) then remounting it to look nice and clean (attention to detail! I am learning from Bruces meticulous postings). I am not nearly as redneck as I once was!

Was it difficult spec'ing one out from Japan with the diff locks?

Kev,
I know you never mean harm, no disrespect taken. I always rack up everything to jealousy!
*grin* No serious, you are the last person I would expect anything negative from.
As for sourcing a suzuki with diffs, its sort of a luck thing. There is nothing that I can find on the auction sheets that tells you about them. So its just a pleasant supprise when they show up. The y only exist on the suzuki's and the Daihatsu's. They are very common on the zuk's. I am hoping to find them on my Daihatsu HiJet that is arriving next month (its a four door cab... I am stoked). You'll have to come up here for a fun week of fishing and wheeling. You know you are always invited Kev. In fact that invitation extends to everyone.

Burrrr. I visited a lot of places throughout BC in my archaeology days, and Smithers was always one of my favourites
