1987 Suzuki Samurai Tin Top on 2040-cars

Year:1987 Mileage:100000
Location:

Lincoln, Nebraska, United States

Lincoln, Nebraska, United States

I recently purchased this 1987 Samurai Tin Top, and have had a lot of fun with it in the short time I have owned it. Unfortunatley, I recently found out that I will be moving for work after graduation and cannot take this along with me. The samurai has a Spring over axle lift, 32x11.5x15 Goodyear MTR tires that are in great shape and have about 85% tread. When I bought the samurai it came with a lot of extra parts, so it will also come with an extra set of 30x9.5x15 buckshot mudders that are on original Samurai rims. They have about 40% tread. I also have a complete rear axle and whole set of leaf springs front and rear (4). Also comes with a spare transfer case, and a brand new front bearing kit. The body is in pretty good shape and only has one dent that is located on the rear passenger corner, but does not effect opening of back door. The samurai is a 5 speed manual, and has a New clutch, K&N aftermarket air filter and mount. The motor is the samurai 1.3 and it not original. The motor is solid and has not given me any issues. It is estimated to have around 100,000 miles. It also comes with a complete spare 1.3 engine that I was told only has 27k on it! The paint is original so it is faded on the roof and does have small surface rust areas on the body. Interior is in good shape, and has a good removable rear seat also. No tears in the seats or anything! Previous owner welded in new metal where there was previous rust hole. Does have fender flares and have not checked for any rust under them as they seem to be in good shape. Wipers and windows work. Lights work all around. Has all the components, minus pump, for A/C and heat works great in this cold weather. Since I purchased the vehicle I have put on brand new shocks all around, complete new parking brake system, rebuilt the carb, replaced the door handles and gone through the engine. I also just added a stereo that has an alpine head unit with aux and CD player. Have reciepts for everything if needed. Could be a daily driver or a solid start to a crawler or mudder. Have title in hand. Feel free to text or call me if you want to take a look or make an offer. Buyer is responsible for shipping or local pick up. Thanks, Shaun. 402- six79- six507. Item is also for sale locally so I Reserve the right to end the auction early.

Suzuki Jimny Lite is a blank canvas for off-road enthusiasts

Tue, Jun 22 2021

One of the most desirable new vehicles for sale right now is the Suzuki Jimny. The compact 4x4 was developed with a "less is more" philosophy, giving off-roaders everything they need to traverse harsh terrain, but with an affordable price and none of the luxo-fluff that many modern trucks come with. Now, Suzuki has announced an even more bare-bones Jimny Lite that delivers exactly what four-wheelers want in a no-nonsense, affordable package. First and foremost, the Jimny Lite will still offer the same 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 101 horsepower and 96 pound-feet of torque, along with the same low-range four-wheel-drive and ladder frame construction that make the original such a great little off-roading machine. However, while regular Jimnys have a four-speed automatic option, the Jimny Lite will be offered with only one transmission choice, a five-speed manual.  Rather than alloys, the rig — called the "Diet Jimny" in an image filename on Suzuki Australia's website — will come with 15-inch steel wheels, tougher and cheaper than aluminum. Other exterior changes include halogen headlights rather than LED projectors, deleted fog lamps, and the subtle substitute of plastic textured side mirrors instead of the current gloss black units. Cabin wise, the infotainment touchscreen that includes satellite navigation as standard will be replaced with a old-school in-dash radio and CD player. Bluetooth is still included, though, so you can still stream navigation and digital music from your phone. Additionally, the digital climate controls will be chucked for a manually operated system. This sounds like a dream come true for enthusiasts, who tend to enjoy using their own aftermarket wheels, auxiliary lighting, and stereo options. Though pricing hasn't been announced, the Suzuki Jimny Lite will presumably be even more affordable, giving wrenchers a blank canvas to build their own rigs without paying up front for stuff they don't need. It's like when Toyota offered the 86 RC, a steel-wheeled, unpainted-bumper version of the 86 for race car builds. Unfortunately, like the 86 RC, the Jimny's sale area does not include the United States. The Jimny is available in its native Japan, south of our border, in Europe, Australia, as well as several other markets around the world. We don't see it coming stateside anytime soon, but that hasn't stopped us from longing for a Jimny from afar. With the Jimny Lite, our desire grows even stronger.

Future Classic: 1996-1998 Suzuki X-90

Thu, Nov 3 2022

SUVs are absolute cash cows, and because of that, automakers don’t often take risks in their design and execution. Oh, sure, the occasional Evoque Coupe or Murano CrossCabriolet slips through the cracks, but by and large most SUVs have four doors, two or three rows of seats and a hatchback for your cargo. But in the 1990s, carmakers were still experimenting with SUVs, so things occasionally got weird, and nothing embodied weirdness quite like the Suzuki X-90. Half SUV, half coupe, half roadster (three halves – see, super weird), the X-90 was all about fun in the sun. It was wild and had lots of personality. SuzukiÂ’s liÂ’l guy was unlike anything else on the road. Why is the Suzuki X-90 a future classic? The X-90 was SuzukiÂ’s followup to the ill-fated Samurai – you know, the SUV that was “easier to flip than a toilet seat,” according to reports from the time. The X-90 was much safer, with standard features like driver and passenger airbags, as well as antilock brakes, but it still fully embodied the SamuraiÂ’s have-fun-anywhere ethos. “Cute utes” were a growing subset of small SUVs in the ‘90s, and wow did the X-90 fully lean into this demeanor. It was tiny – only slightly longer and taller than a modern Fiat 500 – with two doors, two seats, a removable T-top roof and a sedan-like trunk with a spoiler for added flourish. Its 6.3 inches of ground clearance gave it a tiny-tough trucky stance, and you could get it in vibrant colors like purple and teal. It even had seat fabric that looked like ‘90s jazz cups. So cool. What is the ideal example of the Suzuki X-90? Since it was a low-volume product that was only sold for a couple of years (adding to its scarcity today), there werenÂ’t many differences between the X-90s that came to the U.S. All of ‘em were powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine with a blistering 95 horsepower and 98 pound-feet of torque. Buyers could choose between rear- and four-wheel drive, as well as a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. Going for the stick-shift gave you a slight edge on fuel economy, with the EPA rating both RWD and 4WD X-90s at 24 mpg combined, compared to 22 mpg with the automatic. Considering its core mission was all about having a whale of a time, the smartest way to spec an X-90 is with the five-speed manual and four-wheel drive.

Suzuki posts 46% drop in first-quarter profit on slowing India demand

Mon, Aug 5 2019

TOKYO — Suzuki on Monday reported a 46.2% fall in first-quarter operating profit, hurt by lower output at home as it improves its inspection systems, and falling demand in India, its biggest market. Japan's fourth-largest automaker posted an operating profit of 62.7 billion yen (GBP487 million) for the April-June quarter, down from 116.5 billion yen a year earlier and below a mean forecast of 69.09 billion from eight analysts, according to Refinitiv. Suzuki reaffirmed its forecast for full-year operating profit to come in at 330 billion yen, up 1.7% from the year ended March 2019. Suzuki, known for its Swift and Baleno compact models, is bracing for subdued growth this year in India, where roughly one in two cars sold carries its brand. The company stuck to a forecast for vehicle sales to increase slightly on the year, but conceded that it may need to trim its forecasts in the coming months as slowing economic growth and stricter emissions standards could dent sales. Slowing profit growth could hamper its ability to invest in and develop lower-emissions vehicles and on-demand transportation services necessary to survive the technological upheaval currently underway in the global auto industry. The automaker has long acknowledged that it cannot shoulder the costs of developing electric vehicles and self-driving cars on its own, and has turned to Toyota to supply Suzuki vehicles with its gasoline hybrid systems.
