What brand gas shocks did you put?

--Ragul

Monroe. < 5k for 4.

Monroe gas is the OEM in my Gypsy. Isn't it stock in yours?

Mine is 2010 model.
--R

These are Army vehicles. Neither Monroe, nor gas.

BUG - Which is this Color Code? This is different than the Gypsy Red right?

Do you have the color code for the Gypsy Red.

Which was the primer used and which color was the primer?

Thanks,
Amrth

In what appears to be imminent, Maruti may finally discontinue the production of the venerable Gypsy within the next few years. If the below link is to be believed the biggest purchaser of the Gypsy, our Indian Army has raised the bar on the vehicles it wants and as expected the humble gypsy (which received its last upgrade 13 years ago) doesnt qualify.

The colour is 'Flash Red' of VW Polo.
No idea about the Gypsy red.
Some white primer. Don't know the brand. The body was actually olive green.

Is there a reason why the front bumper and region below the grill were extended? Was this due to a body lift? The extension does give it a better look.

Yes. It was an afterthought. Raised a few inches to accommodate the tyres. Filled the cavity with that extension. They executed it neatly. :)
See the pics.

Does anyone know what the encircled part is and its functionality?

Regards

Its the air mass sensor.

Thanks. Is it present on all MPFI Gypsy's? I'm asking this because I saw a 2001 model without it. Any issues if it's not present?

Here is the New Avatar of my gypsy which underwent lot of changes from DC design and Isuzu 1800 cc engine to Stock gypsy.

Present set up :

1000 cc petrol engine and gearbox
Gypsy Stock Carburator
Stock Gypsy King body Shell
Stock Wide body Gypsy chassis.
Tarpaulin cover for Driver cabin
Pickup like set up at the back
Elongated Leaf springs at the rear ( I might put the regular springs back shortly)
Yokohoma 235 75 R 15 tyres
Somedra Singh groove on the Engine Head.
Short Silencer which gives sound like roar.
Free wheeling hubs

What a great job! It looks even more beautiful now. The color you have chosen suits the Gypsy very well. What is the advantage of the Somedra Singh Groove on the engine head ? Your dogs are beautiful too!

Mr. Dwaraka,

How did this mod work out for you? I've read about him but always wanted a frank before-and-after review. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Adi
