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 recalling 200K crossovers over airbag woes

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Suzuki may not be selling any new cars in the US anymore, but there are still plenty of them on American roads. Nearly 200,000 of those will need to be taken off said roads - for a little while, at least.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for 2006-2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara SUVs and 2007-2011 SX4 crossovers due to a faulty airbag sensor. The issue apparently results from the front passenger-side floor mat causing the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor to malfunction over time, so whether there's a kid or an adult in the front seat, the airbag could deploy in the event of a crash.
As a result, Suzuki Motor of America is calling in 193,936 vehicles to replace the front passenger-seat cushion assembly. That's a whole lot of cars to recall, but it comes as no big surprise. Owners can expect to be notified in October. Full details in the recall announcement below.

VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle

Sat, 27 Jul 2013

Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
