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 23k GSX-R750 and GSX-R1000 bikes to replace chain adjuster

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Suzuki is known for having a pair of very capable sportbikes in its GSX-R750 and GSXR-1000, but now the Japanese company is recalling 23,073 of them in the US to replace the chain adjuster. Specifically, the campaign affects 2011-2014 model year versions of the 750 and the 2009-2014 1000.
According to documents from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the problem can occur if riders miss a gear while upshifting. It's possible that the following shift might put enough added strain on the drivetrain to move the rear axle. This can damage the left-side chain adjuster. If there's too much harm done to the part, then the chain could potentially slip off the bike, leaving the powerless bike more vulnerable to a crash.
To fix the problem, Suzuki dealers will "replace the left-side adjuster with an improved part" that will be heat-treated to be stronger. Scroll down to read the full recall report.

Suzuki Samurai lives on with new Jimny facelift

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

The Suzuki Jimny is "sold across 188 global markets," but one of them isn't ours. For UK buyers who can buy a Jimny in SZ3 or SZ4 trims, the 2013 model has just been introduced with tweaks peppered throughout the vehicle. First among them is a soft redesign up front, a new bumper, grille and hood updating the face and adding an extra 30 mm to the length of the little SUV. Breeze Blue metallic paint is a new hue but it's only available on the more expensive SZ4.
Inside, customers will find new headrests and ISOFIX child seat fasteners for both Jimny versions, and for the SZ3, new seat fabrics. The 1.3-liter engine with variable valve timing growls out 84 horsepower and 81 pound-feet of torque, returning 39.8 Imperial combined mpg if fitted with a manual, 38.7 Imperial mpg combined in the automatic.
On-the-road prices are £11,995 ($19,016 US) for the SZ3, £12,900 ($20,451 US) for the manual-equipped SZ4, £13,800 ($21,877 US) with the automatic. More information can be found in the press release below.

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.
