Signal Mountain, Tennessee, United States
Purchased
from Extreme Zuks in Florida for $6700, and have installed high torque engine by
Extreme Zuks Off Road $2400. (1.3 Flat
top pistons, .040 over, new Weber Carb, new rebuilt transmission, new clutch,
new front end seals in the bearings and new bearings in the rear axles,-the car
is driven by my son and we live on a mountain and we wanted higher torque and
hp for driving up and down Signal Mountain TN).
Installed uphostered seats that are
covered in nice black cloth(seat covers have been on since we did the seats) recovered
and installed rear seat. New Carpet/ Paint is less than a year old. Installed
custom headliner with insulation to reduce heat in the summer, this really
looks good in a tin top. Has the customer shifter knobs on both shifters from Low Range Off-Road. Window cranks, door glass rubbers, and inside
and outside handles are new. Installed the windshield wiper blade support
plates as a preventative measure since these are a stress point, while doing
that we installed a new wiper motor behind the dash and insulated and re-taped
to factory specs all the AC hoses and connecting pipes inside the dash. New Radiator and Hoses. Heater works great(Heater Core and Dash
removed and cleaned, all dash lights work and tac works great from Extreme Zuks
Off road. Exhaust Header from Extreme Zuks.
Samurai has a great sound system by Pioneer that has 6 speakers and is
wired for and additional amp/subs for the back, the sound system sounds great. Installed factory AC on this car and it works
great, blows very cold air and we live where it gets near 100 in the summer and
it provides good AC. Rims have just been powder coated white to original color. New Hankook Optimo tires with less than 1000
miles on them. New brakes and rotors have less than 2000 miles on front and
back. He has recently gone to college
and has put most of his money into another daily driver Sammy and needs the
money. This will be a great vehicle for some lucky person, its eye appeal
is unmatched. This car has 2 defects
that have not been fixed, there is a small dash crack above the digital clock
installed in the dash, and there is a slight and I mean slight leak on the rear
transfer case back seal, I have only added about a half a pint in the last year
it was ran and I have the seal I have just not replaced it as it has not been
an issue. I have always used 50/50 Lucas Oil additive and differential lube in the transmission, transfer case, and front and
rear differentials/pumpkin, and have changed this every 6 months since we had
the car, change oil one a month, I do this on all 3 of my Samarai's I have had. This
will be a great vehicle for some lucky person, its eye appeal is unmatched, it
would make for a great car for a daily driver, it gets about 25-32 miles per
gallon and has passed all emissions testing in TN which is a tough place to
pass. New Catalytic converter and
exhaust system with muffler installed also. |

Suzuki Jimny Lite is a blank canvas for off-road enthusiasts
Tue, Jun 22 2021One 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.
Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure
Wed, 07 Nov 2012By 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.
Suzuki's next Jimny won't veer too far from The Way Of The Samurai
Sat, Nov 29 2014Suzuki might be gone as an automaker in the US, but the brand is still driving along in other parts of the world. In fact, it even has new products in the pipeline and among them is a replacement for the venerable Jimny compact SUV (better known as the Samurai in America). The last all-new Jimny hit the market back in 1998, but the little SUVs have grown quite a cult following, especially in the UK. Farmers love them because the compact vehicles can go just about anywhere, thanks to a relatively high ground clearance, small size and four-wheel drive. With the new generation due in 2017, according to Top Gear, that's nearly 20 years of hard work for this off-roader. Though, Suzuki refreshed the Jimny slightly for the 2013 model year (pictured above) across the pond with a revised front end. Don't expect the future iteration to go soft, though. Unlike the similarly long-lived Land Rover Defender, which is rumored to be a bit friendlier in its next generation, Suzuki wants keep the model's abilities as capable as possible, while adding some modern assistance systems. "The next Jimny will be an evolution. It will follow the same recipe. When you see it you'll know it's a Jimny," said the automaker's UK sales boss Dale Wyatt to Top Gear. "If you were a sheep farmer in the Scottish hills you'd see the car is perfect; no argument to change it." If all these promises about the future come true, we might get to hear about the Jimny driving around the world or pulling a huge truck out of the snow for many years to come.
