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.

Which automaker's 84-year-old CEO is making investors nervous?

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

We haven't heard much about Suzuki since it decided to leave the US market in 2012, but things are going well for the little automaker these days with the recent announcement of record annual profits. It would seem that investors should be ecstatic, but they are starting to question the man at the helm. Company president and chairman Osamu Suzuki is now 84 years old and is guaranteed at least one more year as the leader, but shareholders want to know who is taking his place when the inevitable happens.
We're not being ageist, here. As long as the Suzuki can run the company to the satisfaction of investors, he absolutely deserves the top spot. According to Bloomberg, the issue making shareholders so edgy is that the business doesn't have a transition plan in place. The president obviously isn't a young man, and folks are worried that if something happens suddenly, there could be chaos deciding a successor and a free-falling stock price.
Suzuki's tenure at the company is somewhat astounding. He married the granddaughter of the founder and took her name because the family had no male heirs. In world where many people hope to retire as soon as possible, he's worked for the same automaker for the last 50 years, including stints as company president from 1978 to 2000 and 2008 to the present. Investors aren't questioning the president's ability as a business leader; they just want a clearer understanding of the automaker's future direction.

Suzuki iK-2 and iM-4 concepts suggest future style

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Suzuki might no longer sell cars in the US, but the Japanese brand is showing that it's still vibrant in the rest of the world by unveiling two concepts at the Geneva Motor Show. The models also debut some the company's future technology and preview the look of upcoming production vehicles. The iK-2 Concept (top) foreshadows a future compact hatchback, and Suzuki is clear that a production version is due to arrive in Europe in 2016. Its styling is a flowing take on the traditional five-door hatchback, especially around the front fenders. More importantly, the model also rides on the Japanese brand's next-gen platform that promises to be lighter, more rigid, offer better efficiency and improve safety. Power comes from the new Boosterjet engine, but despite the speedy name, it's a 1.0-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged three-cylinder. A mild hybrid system is also going to be offered on the iK-2, but outputs for the powertrains aren't specified yet. The more interesting of the pair visually is the Suzuki iM-4 Concept (pictured inset) that imagines a simple, mini offroader, possibly a replacement for the Jimny. It's on the same platform as the iK-2 but with a much higher ride height and quirky styling. The grille and headlight configuration take inspiration from a pair of sunglasses, Suzuki claims. The model also features broad, fairly unadorned surfaces and short overhangs. The whole look just gives the impression of a little mountain goat ready to go anywhere. Power goes to all four-wheels thanks to a 1.2-liter engine and mild hybrid system. With Suzuki long gone from the US, your best chance to look at the brand's latest concepts might be to check out our live galleries from the Geneva show. iK-2 – SUZUKI'S NEW COMPACT HATCHBACK CONCEPT The smartest compact car developed by pursuit of compact hatchback ideals to a new even higher level for Suzuki Excellent design and utility integrated into a single package Design theme of "Liquid Flow", elegant design with flowing lines suggestive of an energetic movement of liquid Built around a new-generation platform and equipped with BOOSTERJET engine Production model to be released in Europe in 2016 Making its global debut at the 85th Geneva Motor Show, Suzuki Motor Corporationreveals its new compact hatchback concept car, the iK-2. The iK-2, the smartest compact car, offers all the elements expected in a car of this size.

Kayaba, Sumitomo to pay millions for price-fixing in US

Sat, Sep 19 2015

Kayaba Industry Co, which does business in the US as suspension parts maker KYB, and Sumitomo Electric Industries are facing payments in the millions to settle price-fixing cases about the components that they make. As part of the Department of Justice's ongoing crackdown of price fixing in the auto industry, KYB agreed to pay $62 million and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to set the cost of shock absorbers from the mid '90s through 2012. The company allegedly worked with co-conspirators to keep the cost of the parts high, and those components then made it into vehicles from Honda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. "Any collusive agreement among competitors to restrict price competition undercuts our free enterprise system and violates the law," said Carter M. Stewart, US Attorney of the Southern District of Ohio, in the DoJ's announcement. Over the past few years, the DoJ has brought cases against 37 parts suppliers and 55 executives, leading to over $2.6 billion in fines. The investigations haven't always been so successful – some of the Japanese execs fled from the US to avoid prosecution. Critics allege that price fixing is simply how business is done. According to Automotive News, Sumitomo Electric Industries is also facing a $50 million settlement in a civil lawsuit that's related to price fixing of parts like wiring harnesses and heater control panels. The plaintiffs include owners and dealers that purchased vehicles with these parts. The company asserts that the violations are from before 2010, and it now has different process in place to avoid further violations. KYB Agrees to Plead Guilty and Pay $62 Million Criminal Fine for Fixing Price of Shock Absorbers Kayaba Industry Co. Ltd., dba KYB Corporation (KYB) has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $62 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix the price of shock absorbers installed in cars and motorcycles sold to U.S. consumers. According to charges filed today, KYB conspired from the mid-1990s until 2012 to fix the prices of shock absorbers sold to Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (manufacturer of Subaru vehicles), Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Nissan Motor Company Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Company, including their subsidiaries in the United States.
