exact at Rama... I don't believe, a two stroke Suzuki van can perform this, must have some swap with the machine,, as this machine has good road clearance, but very low in power........ experts Jago comment on it or start a new thread... for sharing expertise....

Although we Climbed on Babusar Top 4230m and khunjrab 4725m(Trip to Khunjrab/Hunza From islamabad in 4 days ) but Ascend of Rama lake is very very tough for any small vehicle.

All of you guys... your thread is no doubt is pretty scenic... but why are you confusing the ppl by asking 30 years old Suzuki pickup... again you mentioned about the up gradation, like F10 engine.. could you explain what F10... is this BMW's or Volvo engine, I am confused... must reply with details... what have you done with this Toy?

Very nice trip, pics and narration!

Nothing to confuse dear .... F10 is very old, common and famous suzuki engine (designed almost 28 years ago) but still in use in pakistan in many suzuki application , however in pakistan suzuki van is equiped with F8 carby engine, BUt Some time ago the japanese vans were equiped with F-10 engine.. i hope it will help.:)...and mind it Suzuki F-10 engine, Tranny and compatable diffrential are bolt on in any suzuki ST-30(manufacturers code for this shape). But to handle this engine one have to upgrade Brakes to Disc one,
some detail of the engine

Suzuki F10A — 1.0 L (970 cc/59 cu in, 65.5 x 72.0 mm) (4 in line engine)(around 45HP)
