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!

Watch Indian cars fail Global NCAP crash tests miserably

Tue, May 17 2016

It's taken for granted that cars currently for sale in Western countries pass crash tests, and often merit four- or five-star safety ratings in NCAP or NHTSA tests. This is why these scores attained by Indian market cars are so galling: seven vehicles currently sold in India got zero stars in any category – a horrifying clean sweep. It is understandable that cars sold in a developing market are cheap and equipment levels are low, but acceptable crash safety is something that should be considered essential in all markets. The cars tested in the Global New Car Assessment Programme were Hyundai's Eon, Maruti Suzuki's Eeco and Celerio models, Mahindra's Scorpio SUV and several Renault Kwid models. All of the cars were manufactured in India for the Indian market, and the Mahindra Scorpio was the sole larger car. It was first introduced in 2002, with updates made in 2006 and 2014. Mahindra has long planned to export its vehicles to the United States, with the likeliest version a pickup variant of the Scorpio. Renault's Kwid crossover was tested in three versions. Initially, the Kwid was tested with and without airbags, and on both accounts it scored zero stars in adult occupant protection and two stars in child occupant protection. Renault strengthened the bodyshell and the crash tests showed the updated Kwid's structure did not collapse; still, it was rated unstable and that it couldn't withstand further stress. On closer inspection, the structural reinforcements were found to be done only on the driver's side of the passenger cell. Renault has confirmed more safety updates are on their way. "We welcome Renault's efforts to correct this and we look forward to testing another improved version with airbags. Renault has a strong record of achievement in safety in Europe and it should offer the same commitment to its customers in India", says Global NCAP's David Ward. "Global NCAP strongly believes that no manufacturer anywhere in the world should be developing new models that are so clearly sub-standard. Car makers must ensure that their new models pass the United Nations' minimum crash test regulations, and support use of an airbag." The airbag-equipped Kwid was the only model of the seven cars tested that was fitted with one. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Recharge Wrap-up: NASA's EV plane, GM and Navy partner on fuel cell drone sub

Sun, Jun 26 2016

NASA is building an all-electric test aircraft called the X-57. The lightweight plane's design balances speed with efficiency. The wings house two main propellers at their tips, with twelve smaller motors with retractable prop blades dotting the wing's lead edge. This helps it get the lift it needs to take off while reducing drag in the air, a delicate balance rooted in wing design. The X-57 is part of NASA's 10-year New Aviation Horizons program to make aircraft quieter, more efficient, and less polluting. Fans of The Right Stuff are sure to be pleased to see X-designated planes back in action. Read more at Wired. Suzuki has made its Baleno hatchback more efficient with a mild hybrid system. The European model has a lithium-ion battery pack under the front passenger seat that stores energy from a regenerative braking system to supplement power from the 1.2-liter engine during acceleration. Suzuki says the system improves the Baleno's fuel economy and reduces CO2 emissions by about five percent. Read more from Automotive News Europe. The Borgward BX7 plug-in hybrid SUV has won several Plus X Awards. The revived German automaker's PHEV received awards in the categories of Design, High Quality, Ergonomics, and Functionality. Any Plus X Award winner must display added value, which the panel of judges call the "Plus X Factor." The BX7 launched in China earlier this year, with plans to go on sale in India later this year and Europe soon after that. Read more at Green Car Congress. General Motors and the US Navy are teaming up to power underwater drones with hydrogen fuel cells. The Navy's goal is to provide its large displacement unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) with 60 days of operation between refueling. "Our in-water experiments with an integrated prototype show that fuel cells can be game changers for autonomous underwater systems," says Frank Herr, head of Ocean Battlespace Sensing at the Office of Naval Research. "Reliability, high energy, and cost effectiveness – all brought to us via GM's partnering – are particularly important as Navy looks to use UUVs as force multipliers." GM says that just as on-road experience gained through its Project Driveway fuel cell test fleet is valuable, automotive customers stand to benefit from lessons learned from this naval project.

Suzuki recalls nearly 61k SX4s and Kizashis for shifting out of Park

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Suzuki has discovered an issue with the gearshift lever on some of its vehicles, and has issued a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to address the problem. The issue affects the the 2010-2013 SX4 and Kizashi models fitted with automatic transmissions manufactured between specific dates in 2009 to 2012. In the affected vehicles, the shifter could slide out of the Park position without the brake pedal being depressed, which needless to say could lead to the vehicle unexpectedly rolling away. All told, the recall affects an estimated 60,823 vehicles, the owners of which can expect to head from the manufacturer to bring their Suzukis in to their local dealership to have the shift selector assembly replaced entirely, starting January 19. Since Suzuki no longer sells new cars in the US, owners looking for dealers and authorized service points are advised to check out the company's service provider website tool here. RECALL Subject : Shift Selector Moved From Park Report Receipt Date: DEC 22, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V811000 Component(s): POWER TRAIN Potential Number of Units Affected: 60,823 Manufacturer: Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 SX4 vehicles manufactured July 16, 2009, to November 1, 2012, and 2010-2013 Kizashi vehicles manufactured October 13, 2009, to October 31, 2012. The shift selector can be moved out of the "Park" position without depressing the brake pedal. CONSEQUENCE: If the shift selector is moved out of the "Park" position while the brake pedal is not depressed, the vehicle may unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shift selector assembly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 19, 2015. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-996-7040. Suzuki's number for this recall is VL. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
