This 1987 Suzuki Samurai has been rebuilt from the frame up. I bought the rig from a fellow in Texas 3 years ago with the intention of turning it into this AWESOME SNOWCAT!Here is the Ebay listing description of the Samurai as I bought it 3 years ago... I PURCHASED THIS SAMURAI JX IN 2002 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WITH JUST OVER 100,000 MILES IT WAS COMPLETELY STOCK AND IN GOOD CONDITION. I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 15K BEFORE THE STOCK ENGINE SLUNG A ROD, AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO DO A FULL FRAME OFF BUILD UP TO FIX THE THINGS I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THE SAMURAI TO MAKE IT MORE CAPABLE OFF-ROAD RIG AS WELL AS A DAILY DRIVER. IT TOOK, COUNTLESS MAN HOURS, SEVERAL YEARS , AND $14000 (IN PARTS ALONE). THE FACTORY LEAF SPRING SUSPENSION WAS CONVERTED TO MULTI LINK WITH COIL SPRINGS FRONT AND REAR, THE REAR AXLE WAS UPGRADED TOP A LARGER ONE, LOCKING DIFFERENTIALS AND OEM SUZUKI GEARS WERE INSTALLED FRONT AND REAR, UPGRADED BRAKES, 33/13.50R15 TOYO OPEN COUNTRY MTS ON 15X10 ION ALLOY ALUMINUM WHEELS. I INSTALLED A BRAND NEW 1.6 LITER 16V FUEL INJECTED ENGINE, BIGGER RADIATOR, ELEC. FUEL PUMP, AND CUSTOM EXHAUST SYSTEM (VERY QUIET). THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN RHINO LINED (GRAPHITE COLOR), FRONT AND BACK SEATS WERE RE-UPHOLSTERED, AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE INTERIOR RESTORED. PIONEER CD PLAYER & SPEAKERS. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICS THE INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE EXTERIOR IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THIS SAMURAI IS COMPLETELY RUST FREE . THE FRONT END HAS A SMALL DENT FROM NUDGING A POLE AND A FEW OTHER VERY MINOR DINGS. IT HAS TRAIL TOUGH FRONT AND REAR TUBE BUMPERS WITH SWING AWAY TIRE CARRIER. VEHICLE HAS ORIGINAL PAINT AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TEXAS VEHICLE. I HAVE PUT A LITTLE OVER 500 ON ROAD MILES SINCE THE BUILD UP AND TAKEN IT WHEELING ABOUT A HALF A DOZEN TIMES. THIS VEHICLE WILL RUN 75MPH HAPPILY, HAS A TOP SPEED OF ABOUT 95 , AND GETS 20-25MPG. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY CAPABLE OFF-ROAD AND WILL TAKE YOU ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO GO, ROCKS, MUD, SAND BELIEVE ME YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I RECENTLY INSTALLED POWER STEERING, AS WELL AS A NEW (BESTOP) SOFT TOP. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY A/C AND HAS ALL COMPONENTS CURRENTLY INSTALLED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE COMPRESSOR. I JUST LOCATED A COMPRESSOR THAT I WILL INCLUDE WITH THE SALE. JUST A MATTER OF MOUNTING UP THE COMPRESSOR, HAVING SOME LINES MADE AND CHARGING THE SYSTEM THEN YOU HAVE A/C. I HATE TO SEE MY LITTLE PROJECT GO, BUT ITS TIME TO MOVE ON TO OTHER THINGS. THIS IS A FULL FRAME OFF BUILD UP WITH NO CORNERS CUT, I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS AS WELL, AS LOTS OF PICTURES DOCUMENTING THE BUILD UP. ASKING 12,500 OBO, LET MY LOSS BE YOUR GAIN. LOOKING FOR A GOOD TRAIL RIG, OFF ROAD TOY, MAYBE FOR YOUR FARM OR HUNTING ? HOW ABOUT A WEEKEND WARRIOR THAT WILL GO ANYWHERE AND LOOK GOOD DOING IT ? IF THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR THEN THIS MIGHT BE THE PERFECT VEHICLE FOR YOU. ALL YOU GUYS LOOKING AT SIDE BY SIDES SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER WHAT YOU GET FOR THE MONEY AND COMPARE THEM TO THIS . THIS VEHICLE IS STREET LEGAL AND CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN TEXAS, IT HAS 128,000 MILES. THANKS FOR LOOKING BRAND NEW SUZUKI 1.6 L 16V ENGINE $1350 ROCKY ROAD 6 IN.

The rig now only has 130,539 miles. I used it for a season and a half to get in and out of my remote mountain cabin including the winter of 2010-11 (the most snow we have ever had on record here in the Teton Mountains). It proved itself quite well!!! I'm not a motor head, so going 4 wheeling with it was never a priority for me. I no longer am spending the winters at the cabin. The Samurai has just sat in my shop for the past year and a half. I have well over $20,000 invested into this rig. It could be yours for WAY less!Here are some vids I posted on YouTube a couple of years ago... http://youtu.be/9Hn8d-KKRQYhttp://youtu.be/a7zDYkef5t4http://youtu.be/ZSc38J9Uftc Thanks for Looking!!!
