Vehicle description
1987 Suzuki Samurai, 1.3L, 5-speed, soft top
Street legal rock crawler / off-road vehicle
This vehicle has been 100% disassembled, all rust repaired, and re-assembled with heavy modifications for off-road use. Street legal and very capable. Project took over 6 years and the vehicle is always garage kept. 2 Shake down adventures. Mostly used to go to the beach, practice, or fishing. Runs and drives great around town. Family has grown and as much as it kills me, it is time to sell to someone who can use as intended.
Quick list:
- Rebuilt Suzuki John"s slightly mod"d 1.3L engine; original carb. Less than 10k miles
- Header with full SS Calmini exhaust / Power steering / Optima battery
- YJ suspension with missing links front and rear. Ton of flex
- Fully rebuilt Toyota axles w/ 5.29 gears, open in back and full spool in front. Warn hubs, welded diff guards front and rear. Toyota drivelines as well. New shocks and SS brake lines. All setup spring over
- 4.16 transfer case gears with transfer case e-brake kit
- New Goodyear MTRs 35 15 x 12.50 on new powdecoated steel rims
- Trail Tough rear bumper, Trail Tough transfer case skid, Shockworks fuel tank skid and rock rails
- Full cage welded in. Rear seat still fully functional. Nice driver and passage rockrail style seats
- Soft top and bikini top
- Frame extended with 8k winch on front
- All components disassembled and cleaned. Frame stripped and coated with Por15 and top coat. Body coated on top and bottom with Por15, top coat, and bed liner (Yes, both sides). Wheel wells modified and Bushwacker 6 inch fender flairs installed. New body mounts w/ minimal lift
I am missing things and there is more to do to make perfect. Many spare parts included; spare tire and rim included. I have spent a ton of money (greater than $20k) and had a whole lot of fun wrenching on this vehicle. She is one of my kids at this point. Looking for a good owner. Currently registered as antique vehicle. Again, stored in a garage. This is not a rust bucket.
Will sell with all spare parts at I have for this project. Due to all the mods, this is quite a bit of stuff.
Not perfect. Issues:
- Dents and dings as this is a trail vehicle. All rust repaired (though minimal as this vehicle is from Arizona/Colorado)
- Battery weak from sitting
- Back of rear seat torn. Just old. Needs to be recovered
- No radio
- Driveline vibration due to angle and none offset rear axle. I have 5-8k miles on the setup and no failures. Just noise/vibration
- Max speed is about 55mph @ 4,500 rpm. So no, you can"t drive this to Maine.
