It's time to part with my 1987 Suzuki Samurai JX. This is a very nice purpose built rig which call also be daily driven. These Samurai's are getting tough to find in good non-abused condition. Many folks are also buying these up as a cheaper street legal alternative to a side-by-side UTV. This Samurai has been tastefully modified with the best aftermarket Suzuki parts including:   -Doetsch Tech Shocks Front and Rear -Trail Tough Bonz-eye Front leaf springs with missing links -Rancho Rear leaf springs  -Trail Tough Mighty Kong 4.9:1 gears -Trail Tough 2-Lo gear kit -Trail Tough drive line spacer -Trail Tough SJ410 backing plate -Trail Tough Front steering stabilizer -Trail Tough Unbreakable transmission mount -Trail Tough Unbreakable motor mounts -Trail Tough solid transfer case mount -Trail Tough rear disconnect for towing -Trail Tough ford front shock towers -Lock Rite front locker -Rear mini spool(new in box) - 1 1/4 wheel spacers -BFG Mud Terrain tires 31x10.5 -15 inch steel "rock crawler wheels" -Bushwacker fender flares -Sky Offroad crossover steering kit -Sky Offroad Axle Truss -Sky Offroad wiper brace kit -Zuks Offroad My-Side 2CV carb kit with intake and 44mm Harley Davidson Screamin Eagle carb -Dodge Neon Front seats(very comfortable and are a perfect fit) -Onboard air compressor -3,000  pound winch with custom receiver mount -CD player/speakers/amp -CB -Custom made front bumper -Custom made rear bumper with rear tire swing-out/shovel mount/jerry can holder -Custom rock sliders  -Hi-lift Jack mount behind rear seat(jack included) -Fire extinguisher mount behind rear seat(extinguisher also included) -Powder coated valve cover and intake -K&N air filter -Free flow exhaust with high flow muffler -Custom storage box under jack(in the engine bay) -Rampage soft top -LED rock lights in the front wheel wells -Modified Door hinges for easy removal(jeep style) I think that's the majority of upgrades, but I could be forgetting some things. The Samurai runs great, shifts smoothly and gets tons of attention anywhere it goes.  Always garage kept.  Feel free to contact me with questions or if you would like any additional pictures. I also have a couple of videos I can send via email of it running if you'd like. The odometer just rolled over 70,000 miles, and I'm inclined to believe that is accurate, however if you know these rigs then you know that there is no sitxth digit on the odometer so the mileage could be more. It does not burn any oil between changes which were done every 3,000 miles. The mileage may also increase slightly as I continue to drive it occasionally around town. I also have boxes of additional parts(many new in box) and also original take off parts should the winning bidder be willing to pick up in person or pay for shipping separately. This also includes a bikini top , additional soft top, and tow bar. I will not ship the Samurai but, I will make it available for pickup or shipping that you arrange and pay for. Remember, you can tow it home if you choose. I'm an honest ebayer that does his best to describe all items to the best of my abililty.  I am not a business. I am an individual so my feedback is important to me.  I want the new owner to be completely satisfied with this rig. I don't think you will be disappointed. I have a clean and clear Oregon title in hand. (The title will be mailed via certified mail or handed over in person once funds have cleared or cash is in my hand) NO warranty expressed or implied.  All sales final. Down payment of 500.00 due immediately upon placing the winning bid.  PayPal is to only be used for the deposit; the balance is to be paid by Cashiers check or cash only. Please ask all questions prior to bidding and please do not bid if you do not intend to follow through with the purchase. Good luck and Happy Bidding.

Suzuki considering Cappuccino revival?

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

It's not a secret that a few of us here at Autoblog have a crush on Japanese Kei cars. The diminutive sizes and cheeky looks of most of the segment are certainly endearing factors, but it was the sporting Kei cars of the 1990s that made for the most delicious forbidden fruit.
Suzuki's entry in that time and market space was the Cappuccino, a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a removable roof and roll bar, powered by a 657cc three-cylinder motor. The car hung around the Japanese market until 1997 (and was booted up in Gran Turismo form for years after that). Now, rumor has it that the little coupe could be getting a reboot around 2016.
The reports are still a bit short on detail; some indicate that a new Cappuccino could be built up on an existing Kei platform from Suzuki. If the new car were to keep the RWD layout of the original, however, that would mean building up the model on the live-rear-axle bones of the Suzuki Jimny or Carry.

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Suzuki XL-7

Sun, Jan 21 2024

The American Suzuki Motor Corporation filed for bankruptcy in 2012 and sold its final Kizashis, SX4s and Grand Vitaras here the following year. In the decade prior to that, a big chunk of the Suzuki lineup involved rebadged Daewoos, but South Korea wasn't the only outpost of the far-flung GM Empire helping out with Suzuki hardware. After the Saturn Vue debuted as a 2002 model, its platform ended up everywhere, including beneath the second-generation Suzuki XL-7. Here's one of those machines, found in a Denver self-service car graveyard recently. Prior to 2007, the XL-7 name had been applied to a stretched version of the body-on-frame Grand Vitara, a pure Suzuki design. The 2007-2009 XL-7 looked quite different from its closest relatives, the Saturn Vue, Pontiac Torrent and Chevrolet Equinox. Assembly took place at CAMI Assembly in Ontiario, birthplace of many a Geo Metro and Suzuki Swift. The engine is the 3.6-liter version of the 60° High Feature V6, rated at 252 horsepower and 243 pound-feet. A five-speed automatic was the only transmission available. This one is a base model with front-wheel-drive and seating for five. Its MSRP was $21,599, or about $34,419 in 2024 dollars. The radio has an AUX input, a fairly unusual feature in 2008. Inside, one of the most heartbreaking notes I've ever found in a junkyard car. Does the Tooth Fairy give money to kids who knock out the teeth of other kids and steal them? It's like a Suzuki motorcycle, but with more cargo capacity. Those Suzuki-riding bikers know a good SUV when they see one. Who knew that it wouldn't be long before motorcycles and ATVs would be the only new Suzukis available here?

Suzuki testing Grand Vitara replacement that is now forbidden fruit

Sun, 02 Feb 2014

Suzuki might be dead in the US, but its cars are still thriving in many other markets. Aside from the updated SX4 and a slew of promising concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show, Suzuki is getting ready to launch a much-needed replacement for the aged Grand Vitara, and our spy photographers recently caught the compact SUV testing in Sweden.
Judging by these spy shots, the replacement for the current Grand Vitara - it may or may not retain the Grand Vitara name - will take its styling cues from the Suzuki iV-4 Concept displayed at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. These cues include the narrow, angular headlights, the sloped D-pillars and we even get a hint of the sculpted rear-wheel arches. We hear that the new Suzuki SUV could go on sale in Europe next year, so we'd expect it to debut later in 2014.
