Awesome litte rig, got it about 8 months ago and just traded up to a new one now the wife says this one has to go.  Hate to get rid of it, especially after all the work I just put into it but a happy wife is a happy life.


Overall it's in really good shape for a 25+ year old 4X4.

The Good:
- Brand new Trail Tough Lift Kit with New YJ springs - $3,000 installed (go to trailtough.com and take a look at the Wrangler YJ Complete Spring Suspension Kit)
- Lots of other brand new suspension parts added that weren't included in the kit
- Just put a set of BFG 33X10.5X15s
- Went through and rebuild all the doors, and windows so they all open/close rollup/rolldown.
- Paint is in pretty good shape and you can see by the pictures it shines up nice.
- Re-terminated all the electrical connections around the battery
- Recent tune up and oil change
- Seat mounts extended for more leg room
- Came with factory air and all the parts are there but it does not work.
- Roof rack in the first picture is yours if you want it, wanted to get some pics up there with and without.

The Bad:
- two surface rust spots, one where the antenna connects to the body and one on the fender well, both pictured.  Other then that the rest of the body is rust free and solid.

These tin tops are getting harder and harder to find and I'd like this one to go to a good home.  Prefer a local buyer with cash but will take a remote buyer over PayPal and you pay to ship it.  I reserve the right to sell to a local buyer at any point and cancel the auction.

Japanese motorcycles moving into forced induction

Sat, 30 Nov 2013

While turbocharging and supercharging may be nothing new in the automotive industry, motorcycle engines are almost always naturally aspirated. But even that's beginning to change. At the Tokyo Motor Show last week, two major Japanese companies showed off new forced-induction motorbike engines.
Kawasaki rolled in with a supercharged four-cylinder motorbike engine. It offered little in the way of details, disclosing only that the turbine blades were developed in-house to withstand the heat and vibration of spooling up at motorbike speeds.
Suzuki is taking a different approach, however. Its Recursion concept bike packs a turbocharged 588cc two-cylinder engine with a turbocharger and intercooler. The compact package churns out just under 100 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque, packaged into a motorbike that weighs just 384 pounds dry.

American Suzuki Motors files chapter 11, will no longer sell cars in the United States

Mon, 05 Nov 2012

As much as we knew it was a possibility, we have to say that Suzuki's announcement this afternoon that it is filing chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings caught us a bit off guard. American Suzuki Motor Corporation - the sole distributor of Suzuki automobiles in the United States - will realign its business to focus on motorcycles, ATVs and the marine market.
What does this mean in simple terms? In short, new Suzuki cars and trucks will no longer be sold by Suzuki in the United States once current supplies run out. Period.
Suzuki cites "low sales volumes, a limited number of models in its lineup, unfavorable foreign exchange rates, the high costs associated with growing and maintaining an automotive distribution system in the continental US and the disproportionally high and increasing costs associated with stringent state and federal regulatory requirements unique to the US market."

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.
