 Read this first please:
* It will not pass valley emissions as currently built.
* It's a Samurai so it's small and a tight fit for two large people.
* It's a 1300 so while it's got more power than a stock Samurai it's not going anywhere fast.
* It's 25+ years old so it needs an owner who can turn wrench on occasion.

Odometer reads 53K miles (actually 153K miles). Runs very good, stronger than stock.

Engine, Transmission and T-case all rebuilt at 151K miles

• Yakima LoadWarrior basket with high-lift mount, shovel mount and light tabs.

• . . .. . .. . .. . .. . ..and more

It has a handful of minor things that need to be taken care of to make it 100%.
*Wheel is slightly off-set, the drop pittman arm will center the wheel,  Tracks and brakes straight.
*There is an occasional oil drip - I believe from the rear main seal, I made a mistake when I installed it.
*The passenger fender wheel had rust due to a battery overflow.  It's been repaired but if I were to keep the rig I'd replace the fender eventually.
*The filler bung on the transfer case looks to have been weld repaired.  It will on occasion leak a drop of transmission fluid.
*The air-conditioning was removed, there are two holes in the passenger floorboard where the hoses used to be.
*A couple of other small things but it's a 25 year old vehicle.

Lots of extras, including take off parts, assembly tools, shop manual, many build photos, documentation, etc.

No warranties; sold as is. $500.00 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of close of the auction.  Buyer is responsible for making all arrangements to pick up the vehicle, shipping, etc.  I'll help as much as I can on my end, but ultimately the responsibility rests with the buyer.  If you can find a nicer Samurai tin top for this price I strongly recommend you buy it.

Suzuki previews Crosshiker, X-Lander, Hustler ahead of Tokyo

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

With the Tokyo Motor Show looming on the horizon, Suzuki has revealed a trio of concept cars it will present at the expo.
First up is the Crosshiker concept, a compact crossover that looks good enough in metallic red, but in its essence reminds us of the oft-maligned X-90 convertible crossover coupe. Based on the G70/Regina concept, the Crosshiker packs a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine into a compact form that weighs just 1,785 pounds.
Next comes the X-Lander, which strikes us as a smaller take on the formula espoused by the Isuzu VX-02 or Land Rover DC100 Sport concepts. Unfortunately based on the Jimny, the white X-Lander incorporates a 1.3-liter engine with a robotized manual and four-wheel drive into a high-riding, chopped-windshield convertible sport-ute form.

Buy my Vitara, special-effects pro says in greatest commercial Suzuki never made

Mon, May 8 2017

A month ago, Eugene Romanovsky posted an advertisement to sell "my best friend," his 1996 Suzuki Vitara, also known as the Sidekick in the United States, on YouTube. The 2.1 million people who have viewed the commercial so far may not have actually considered taking the car off his hands, but every one of them has had a good laugh. The production values of the video far surpass the production values that went into the making of the car itself. Romanovsky is a special-effects artist at the creative group Gravity in Tel Aviv. For the remaining few million of you who have not yet seen the #BuyMyViara video, it would be a disservice to tell reveal what's in it. Let's just say there's not much that isn't in it. The car's book value of a couple-grand belies the fact that it is truly the most amazing vehicle ever built. It does, after all, boast 96 horsepower and a manual transmission featuring a low gear. Trust us, just watch the video. Related Video: Weird Car News Suzuki SUV Videos viral video
