1987 JLX Suzuki Samurai 4x4 restored , SPOA lift done correctly with over the top steering , extended brake lines, and driveline spacers. Wheelbase extended 1.5" Tires are 33x 12.50 x 15 BF Goodrich MT radials ( if you are wanting a mud rig tell me at end of auction and i will swap them out for 33" super swampers with good tread ) they are on 15 x 10 aluminum wheels! 


The JLX means it has fancy add ons such as a factory tach dash cluster , chrome bumper, and air conditioning, It also has a Suzuki VIP steering wheel which seems unique ( only one I have ever seen ).

I installed new racing seats which are light weight and comfortable ( I want a set for our Toyota now ).

I installed a new MP3 player , new 6.5" 4 way speakers, 8" truck boxes in back. New Halogen headlights with Halos , new sun visors from Indonesia, new washer bottle, new window laces ( no rattles ), new hood release cable, etc.

The engine was rebuilt with new rings , bearings, gaskets, etc. Good used carb sourced from Florida. Stainless rear view mirrors. Dodge 3/4 ton motor mounts. Electric fan on sensor - kicks on when temp hits halfway mark.New fuel pump , new belts, silicone vacc, hoses , new filters. Good clutch. Good shift 'sheets' excellent shift patterns with no slop! 

Recent paint job - fire engine red , called ' candy apple' by supplier. Similar to Porsche 'guards'. Body was stripped, sanded, and painted. Rust free Arizona car! stainless entry guards emblazoned with ' gulf suzuki'.

Replaced master cylinder. This will be my last Samurai so you will get all the extra paint, parts, and coffee cans full of hardware with this car. 

It drives very clean. The OTT steering and stock springs make it a big improvement. The motor was stamped AAAA and 1111 - perfect machining. I found out after the fact it did not need a rebuild, just new valve seals - but since I had the parts I did it anyhow. It is a great Sammy and turns every head it passes. The back seat could use recovering. I replaced the horn but it still does not blow ( will try to figure it out ),I think the heater hose was not clamped tight but it may be the heater core - I bypassed it for now. I have new heat control cables but have not installed them yet.Would make a great around town cruiser or other. If you want to go on the toughest trails I would suggest the 6.5 crawler gears and a rear locker. It is stock gears and open diffs for now. Otherwise you can put side kick gears in diffs or just cruise it around for fun.I was going to make a rear top bow for it but have not yet. You can get a stainless one on low range web site for $99 and get a full top on ebay for cheap.Please email me questins or call 928-640-0631 8am-9pm mountain time. We are gald to answer any and all questions. Please consider a test drive too. We are on beautiful Lake Powell in Northern Az.

ALSO: replaced door handles and window winders inside and out, Also put in a brite tread aluminum panel kit - see pictures !

Great little car for safari or family buggy and way more practical than a razor, raptor, rhino, etc!

Kei van campers are miracles of space utilization

Tue, Jun 22 2021

In the tight streets of Japan, tiny cars make a lot of sense, particularly the government-restricted kei class of cars. They're especially small with similarly small engines, and besides being easier to maneuver and park, they're also cheaper to own and run. But surely camping in one would be a somewhat cramped, unpleasant experience, right? Think again. YouTuber Tokyo Lens, someone who creates a variety of interesting videos about places, people and things in Japan, went on a camping trip with what seems to be a pop-top Suzuki Every kei van. He details his experience and highlights all the neat features crammed into the little space. It really is remarkable how much there is. We were particularly taken by the nice looking cabinetry, the fact that a person can pretty much fully stretch out in the pop top and that there's actually a microwave and a tiny sink with a water-tank-supplied faucet. Check out the whole video for a look at how much you can do with a small space, as well as some nice shots of the Japanese countryside. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Suzuki previews e-Survivor concept, the cutest ute yet

Mon, Sep 25 2017

If you've ever thought of Suzuki as a whimsical manufacturer of small or smallish vehicles, you're going to like what the manufacturer plans to show at the upcoming 45 th Tokyo Motor Show. The e-Survivor Concept reimagines the classic Suzuki jeep as an all-electric vehicle, and it's filled with interesting styling cues both retro and futuristic. The e-Survivor is not only lightweight in construction, it also looks like it, with vestigial wheelarches and see-through doors. The electric motors are housed in the wheels, leaving the ladder-frame construction able to be as skinny as possible. The dashboard houses large screens showing infotainment controls, navigation settings and the vehicle itself, and there are rear-view cameras in place of mirrors. According to the manufacturer, the e-Survivor is a compact SUV of "the next age," which could even hint of an electric 4x4 being the way for Suzuki to survive in this century — or in its second century: the company is 100 years old in 2020, and its concepts show what Suzuki sees beyond that. Perhaps something from the e-Survivor will make production after 2020; independent wheel-mounted electric motors would certainly suit a small, light SUV. Other exhibits are the "tall miniwagon" Spacia Concept, the XBEE crossover available in several different guises, the friendly-looking Carry Open-Air Market Concept and a "neo-retro styled" SV650X bike.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
