The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This little guy looks great, the paint is a few years old and the hood is a little sun faded but not bad. It does have a few little scratches and the tail gate has a small mark/dent that is between the spare and the handle. The extra doors have a few scratches from being moves around. Brakes and steering are a little touchy from being lifted."

I bought this for my son and he doesn't like it. It looks great and is a real head turner. When i bought it, i was told the mileage was org but i can't prove it, it shows 57,014 right now. The interior is new, it has racing front seats and seat belts and the rear seat was redone to match. The carpet is new and the stock roll bar has had bars added to the rear for safety. The door panels are all diamond plate aluminum and has a matching steering wheel. The paint is a few years old and the hood has a little fade from the sun but it's not bad. It does have a few scratches and a small scratch/dent on the tailgate. The frame looks solid and over all the body looks good, the floor looks like it has two patches in the front out by the rockers but it was fixed nice.


It's lifted with a standard spring over axle swap with some blocks and after market shackles. The shocks are in good shape and it has longer steel braided brake lines all around. The steering has a dropped pit man arm and it's a little touchy. The stock drive shafts have spacers. I'm guessing the gearing is all stock, it starts off great but by the top of 2nd the tire size catches up with it and it feels like it needs more gear in it. It will do 60 mph in 4th when on the highway. I don't think it was ever used off road, more of a mall cruiser. 

I have two tops for it, one is a bikini top and the other is a denim full top with clear windows. Both are in great shape. I also have a nice set of jeep style half doors that are painted to match and both have matching alum door panels. They are done right with the top cap. The inside of the cab has been sprayed with a type of bed liner. The fender flares look very nice and are mounted well. The rims are 10" wide American Racing wheels and the tires are Firestone Firehawk RMT 33x12.5r15lt's. I also have extra door glass for the half doors. The glass on the truck is in great shape.  

The engine is all stock, it runs great and doesn't leak or smoke. The stock carb works great the choke even works. The exhaust manifold has a very small crack but the exhaust from the engine back is newer 2" with a chrome tip.

If i was going to keep it, i'd install a header, maybe a Weber to clean things up and a high steer set-up. And depending on what you want to do, gearing. 

The reserve is realistic and will sell with a clean title once it's met.

Suzuki recalling 200K crossovers over airbag woes

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Suzuki may not be selling any new cars in the US anymore, but there are still plenty of them on American roads. Nearly 200,000 of those will need to be taken off said roads - for a little while, at least.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for 2006-2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara SUVs and 2007-2011 SX4 crossovers due to a faulty airbag sensor. The issue apparently results from the front passenger-side floor mat causing the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor to malfunction over time, so whether there's a kid or an adult in the front seat, the airbag could deploy in the event of a crash.
As a result, Suzuki Motor of America is calling in 193,936 vehicles to replace the front passenger-seat cushion assembly. That's a whole lot of cars to recall, but it comes as no big surprise. Owners can expect to be notified in October. Full details in the recall announcement below.

Suzuki previews Crosshiker, X-Lander, Hustler ahead of Tokyo

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

With the Tokyo Motor Show looming on the horizon, Suzuki has revealed a trio of concept cars it will present at the expo.
First up is the Crosshiker concept, a compact crossover that looks good enough in metallic red, but in its essence reminds us of the oft-maligned X-90 convertible crossover coupe. Based on the G70/Regina concept, the Crosshiker packs a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine into a compact form that weighs just 1,785 pounds.
Next comes the X-Lander, which strikes us as a smaller take on the formula espoused by the Isuzu VX-02 or Land Rover DC100 Sport concepts. Unfortunately based on the Jimny, the white X-Lander incorporates a 1.3-liter engine with a robotized manual and four-wheel drive into a high-riding, chopped-windshield convertible sport-ute form.

205k Suzuki models being investigated for airbag sensor issue

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation on the 2006-11 Suzuki Grand Vitara and 2007-11 Suzuki SX4 due to issues with the airbag and seatbelt for the front passenger seat. So far, NHTSA has received 128 complaints on these vehicles for airbag warning lights, airbag off lights and seatbelt lights, on a vehicle set that totals around 205,000 units, but there is no indication as to how many, if any, injuries have reported.
Via technical service bulletins, Suzuki has already acknowledged two airbag-related issues with front passenger seats on both vehicles, including a programming error for the passenger seat load indicator on 2009 models and an open-circuit problem for the sensor mat that determines if an adult or child is sitting in the front seat. Since this latter issue would not shut off or lessen the impact of the passenger airbag, Suzuki has already extended the warranty for the seat cushion bottom to 10 years or 120,000 miles. After ceasing new-car sales in the US and Canada, potential recall repairs (which still may or may not happen) would be handled by remaining dealers as laid out in the recent court-approved bankruptcy plan.
