1992 Suzuki Samurai I have owned for most of the last 10 years. It runs and drives great. It is quite capable and is a lot of fun on sand dunes or on the trails. The engine was rebuilt about 3 years ago with new crank, valves, water pump, oil pump, starter, 55A alternator, Flex-a-lite fan, k&n air filter, rings, bearings, etc. It now has an Optima red top battery and ceramic clutch less than one year old. It also has an oversize radiator from an x90 and the temp sensor runs it perfectly even on hot Summer days! The lift is a SPOA with 2" Rancho springs, scissor shackles in back, HD shackles in front, extended brake lines, over the top steering, and front Rancho adjustable shocks. The drivetrain is a rebuilt transfer case with 6.5:1 crawler gears, It has solid poly mounts and a kong t-case cradle, The rear driveline is custom with 1 ton u joints and cv shaft, the front has a 1 inch spacer. The diffs are equipped with Lock Rite lockers for traction. I put dual horns on for fun, It has a 2" body lift. The interior has an aluminum panel kit and quick removal doors. Also a tilt meter and altimeter plus digital clock and tachometer. The seats are from a Dodge and are WAY more comfortable than stock.The floor is bed lined , floor plugs recently replaced, still has hard to find package tray under dash. Includes original owner's manual. Recent paint is Cobra blue metallic with Suzuki Platinum metallic trim. Two piece fiberglass hard top has new air struts on lift gate. Both bumpers are custom , front has a winch bumper ( I always ran a 9500 Warn ), rear has a 2" receiver and LED turn signals. Rear side markers are LED. Headlights are blue halogen aftermarket. Two of my favorite mods are power steering from a sidekick and the brake booster and master cylinder from a WRX Subaru. SO MUCH EASIER TO DRIVE !!! Also has a long tube header and turbo muffler. Please note that this is a fuel injected model and does not have all the quirks the carbed models It runs really smooth at any angle. I just changed the oil and filter - ready to go! The rear has a sport cage installed but it does not have a back seat currently installed. I have a matching spare tire and wheel that holds air. Sorry my camera is not better , some of the pics look blurry.All 5 tires are goodyear 33x12.50 MT , they work great and are fairly quiet. I have done so much over the years to it , I am sure I will think of other stuff...the hood scoop is functional for instance...will try to list those as I think of them. The odometer does not have a 100000 place but I assume it has flipped. It seems to turn slow anyhow. The vehicle is from Florida so no rust to speak of. Please email me questions or call between 8am and 9pm Mountain time 928-640-0631. As far as I know there is nothing really wrong with it, it does not leak or smoke. Everything pretty much works. It goes about anywhere you want and gets lots of attention with it's good looks. It is the most capable 4x4 I have ever owned - right up there with my locked up TJ on 35s. If you have never owned a Samurai they ride a bit rough and noisy. I have driven it over long distances and the bigger seats help a lot but it is still no Cadillac. I am located in Northern Arizona if you would like to look at it or drive it. Serious bidders only please , ask before bidding. I have 100% + feedback and for good reason. I expect a $100 deposit immediately after auction and the rest within 14 days. I would expect it to be picked up in a timely manner also. If the winner is in the 4 corners area I can deliver it within 250 miles of Page Az. Reserve is $4700. It is listed on the Suzuki Lightning site for $8995 and I will end the auction early if someone offers full price there. Thanks!On Mar-07-13 at 11:28:20 PST, seller added the following information: Also : I forgot that the head was shaved and ported , pistons are 10:1 , I have the timing advanced a bit so I run premium in it. The driver's side seat was getting a couple holes worn in the bolsters so I put some covers on them for now. It has a lot more power than a stock motor but is super reliable.On Mar-08-13 at 19:35:36 PST, seller added the following information: More stuff : it has 3/4 ton truck motor mounts - don't rip like the Suzuki stock ones do. The rockers and plastic trim were replaced by a brite tread aluminum kit. I think it will clear 35" tires and it sure has the gearing for them but I would recommend upgrading the front shafts to birfield rings or 26 spline chromolly for anything over 33". Thanks for looking!
