No useful advice to offer, but I would like to say that I very much like the cut of your jib.

Can you even get off road parts for these? Doubtful. I also doubt you'll be able to perform a 3" lift without major R&D and re-engineering.

Still researching a way to blank out the tyre pressure sensors to stop the annoying dash warning light.
Short bit of pipe, with a cap to screw on both ends. Tyre valve in one cap. Put all four pressure sensors in pipe, inflate to 30psi, put in boot.

Decent start, but you're missing the 6x6 conversion.

Great idea and I'm sure it'll ps off a few people and look great.
However, the main point of a lift is to fit bigger tyres. 215/60x16 will look puny, if 16s will even fit over the brakes.

My wife has the earlier (even uglier) version and 16s are the approved winter size. They fit fine.
Good little cars. Cheap and shiny plastics but it's well designed. The Allgrip system works well. It even has a non-mechanical diff lock!



Good luck OP. You're clearly mental but I hope you have fun!
