1986 Suzuki Samurai
This is a great little fun truck for exploring the back roads in.  It is rugged and well build, but we have two and my husband said one needs a new home.
(The green Sammy in the photos is the one we are keeping, and it's not for sale.)  The exterior and interior is in Line-X bedlinner spary.  The outside is a gray and looks like new, also never needs anything but hosing off to keep it looking good. The interior liner is black.  It has upgraded seats in dark gray cloth, nice and soft with extra foam.  The back seat is original, and all have working seat belts.  All lights and back up lights work.  It has a rebuilt transmission (5 speed) and new ceramic clutch and cable.   It does have a receiver hitch on the rear bumper.  Both window regulators have been replaced; new timing cover and seal.  Nice stereo and speakers, front floor mats, some padding on the roll bars, visors, extra bikini top, good soft top with roll up windows, manual switch for auxiliary radiator fan, ash tray and the cigarette lighter works.  He has quick removable doors (no tools required) for that open air ride too.

Exterior:  Spring over axle lift  with the extended shocks, rear shocks have been moved inboard at top to increase articulation, new wheels and  5 new 30" tires,  spare never used, rebuilt transmission, Weber Carburetor,  back and front custom bumpers with Truck Lites,  plus a 10,000 pound winch.  Lots of money has been already invested, in this Sammy.  It came from the Phoenix area and now we hold the clear New Mexico title on it.  It passed our state emission test.  Due to its life in the SW there is no apparent rust (see photos) and is a collision free vehicle.

It is dependable and starts right up.

WHAT DOES NOT WORK:   The clock is hard to read with faint numbers, the truck has its original factory A/C, but we have not attempted to get it working; may just need belts or charging.  All components are still in place. The doors do not lock from the outside with the key, and it needs headlight bezels.  The gas gauge does not read correctly, when full it shows only half a tank.  Also add your own jack.  Thanks and Good luck.

American Suzuki Motors files chapter 11, will no longer sell cars in the United States

Mon, 05 Nov 2012

As much as we knew it was a possibility, we have to say that Suzuki's announcement this afternoon that it is filing chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings caught us a bit off guard. American Suzuki Motor Corporation - the sole distributor of Suzuki automobiles in the United States - will realign its business to focus on motorcycles, ATVs and the marine market.
What does this mean in simple terms? In short, new Suzuki cars and trucks will no longer be sold by Suzuki in the United States once current supplies run out. Period.
Suzuki cites "low sales volumes, a limited number of models in its lineup, unfavorable foreign exchange rates, the high costs associated with growing and maintaining an automotive distribution system in the continental US and the disproportionally high and increasing costs associated with stringent state and federal regulatory requirements unique to the US market."

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.

Pentagram aims to cut through the noise of EV sound design

Sat, Jun 5 2021

What does an electric vehicle sound like when it goes from 0 to 60, when it signals a turn, when it’s powered down for the night? EV motors have fewer parts and are therefore incredibly silent, which presents safety concerns for drivers who recognize speed by sound and pedestrians who canÂ’t hear an approaching vehicle.  In 2019, regulators in Europe and the U.S. began requiring EVs to have warning sounds, but they left it up to the car manufacturers to choose those sounds. Many have taken the new legislation as an opportunity to not only create a branded sound, but also to stir up some marketing hype by enlisting famous musicians to compose the noise of an electric engine. Hans Zimmer created the Blade Runner-esque sound concept for BMWÂ’s i4 electric sedan, and, strangely, Linkin Park is creating EV sounds for BMW.  Sound designer Yuri Suzuki, a partner at design consultancy firm Pentagram, recently conducted a research project into the crucial role electric car sound has on a userÂ’s safety, enjoyability, communication and brand recognition, out of which he developed a range of car sounds. Suzuki says that while some automakers have chosen beautiful and interesting car sound designs, chasing celebrity clout is not the way to go when designing the sound behind serious machines.  “We really have to design carefully based on the psychological effects on a human,” Suzuki told TechCrunch. “ItÂ’s all about the relation between the human being and the machine itself.” Suzuki says smart sound design can help ease the difference between human and car by providing a shared language. Based on surveys he conducted, Suzuki came up with two new skeuomorphic electric engine sounds as well as adaptive sounds that reflect the time of day and the location of the drive.  His engine sounds are reminiscent of internal combustion engine revs, providing both drivers and pedestrians with a recognizable indication of speed increasing and decreasing. The sounds are placed at different pitches: one quite low, like a spaceship taking off; the other a bit higher, like a hovercraft vertically ascending. Audi, Ford and Jaguar Land Rover have also chosen to make futuristic copies of gasoline engines for some of their new electric vehicles.  SuzukiÂ’s sound design also includes in-car sounds, like powering on, turn signals or horn honking, that use AI to adapt to the time of day.
