Awesome truck with TONS of time and money put into it. It is a very capable rock crawler and can also be driven on the streets. I would not recommend this truck for long distance freeway use due to the gearing and high center of gravity. Clean title, new plates and tabs, ready to rock. Here's some details:

engine/trans: 
-low mileage 1.6 block with reman head, new timing belt, water pump, headgasket, etc. 
-Sidewinder intake manifold with harley davidson cv carb, new fuel pump and fuel pressure reg.
-new clutch during rebuild, stock t-case, stock 5spd trans. 
-Only a few thousand miles or so on this engine build.

Body/interior: 
-Very clean %99 rust free body with 51k miles, has a few small dents and a few dime sized holes in the driver side floor. all floorpan rust has been removed and repainted to stop from spreading
-fender arches have been widened and moved up about an inch to accommodate larger tires. 
-heavy duty rock sliders made of thick 3x3 angle iron have been welded onto the rocker panels. 
-Has a full 6 point roll cage made of some pretty thick 1.5" DOM tubing. 
-safari top with custom build cab divider with window fully encloses the cab for winter driving.(plywood and plexiglass)
-custom square tube bumpers front and rear with winch plate on front. 
-tracker seat swap, they are also lowered 2 inches for tall folks. Besttop seat covers included but not pictured.
-the floors are painted with truck bed liner, no carpet, no radio, heat works great.

Chassis/susp/tires:
-samurai/tracker hybrid axles with 5.13 gears.
-SOA lift with jeep springs in the rear
-newish long travel shocks
-aluminum driveshaft spacers
-panhard bar and custom lowered steering arm
-like new 33x12.5x15 Procomp xterrain tires with spare

Thing that aren't quite finished:
-The carb may need some fine tuning, especially if you are in a different climate. It runs great in 30deg mn weather as is. I've got different sized jets to go with it. 
-exhaust ends at the rear axle, has a quiet muffler and works fine, just might want to plumb it out the side or back.
-some loose wiring in the engine bay that is no longer needed due to carb swap, just haven't removed yet.
-if you are not mechanically inclined and don't have basic tools, I recommend that you do not buy this truck. 
-included is a box of parts like, harware, stock carb, door hinges, radio bezzle, glove box door, extra shock mounts, bumpstops, and a few other useful spares.

If you have any questions about the truck, feel free to give me a call. Also, If you want pictures of a specific part of the truck I can text them to you.

Court approves Suzuki bankruptcy plan

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Suzuki has won approval for its Chapter 11 plan to stop selling cars in the US and concentrate instead on the company's powersports products. Judge Scott C. Clarkson of the US Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California approved the plan after the company's creditors agreed to the conditions.
Suzuki will now sell its motorcycle, ATV and marine divisions to the newly minted Suzuki Motor of America subsidiary under the Suzuki name. The new company will be wholly owned by Suzuki Motor Company. This is the final piece of the company's restructuring puzzle.
The company says it will now be able to grow its powersports businesses here in the US and also provide auto parts and service to current Suzuki owners through what's left of the company's dealer network. You can check out the brief press release on the bankruptcy plan below.

Suzuki offers sneak peek at Authentics concept for Shanghai

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Suzuki has prepared the C-segment Authentics concept for the Shanghai Motor Show, a preview of a sedan that would slot into the fattest chunk of the market among China's car buyers. Suzuki hasn't given away much, saying only that it is "Sporty x Elegant" and that it's long and low and has a "rich and fine curved surface."
PaulTan.org says this is the trunked version of the SX4 crossover, and if that's the case then it would represent a new approach to the SX4 in the region, offering markedly different styling instead of being, literally, an SX4 with a trunk. We'll know more when the Shanghai show opens in a couple of weeks, for now there's a press release with a tad more info on Suzuki's plans just below.

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.
