A Suzuki blast from the past for sale

One of our old friends resurfaces

Back in 1994 I purchased one of the last brand new Suzuki Samurais from the local Suzuki dealership. Suzuki had caved in to bogus claims by a consumer magazine that Samurais rolled easily and wasn't going to sell them in the U.S. anymore.


We did a buildup of this Samurai in 4WD&SU Magazine, then traded it to Clive Skilton at Don-A-Vee Jeep for some other project vehicle. The Samurai's now resurfaced on eBay Motors for sale, looking just as it did 15 years ago. It has a Rock Lobster transfer case, Currie Ford 9" front and rearends, spring over swap, ARB Bull Bar front bumper with Warn winch, and a ZUK rear bumper. It also has an on-board welder.

It's always nice to see old friends again after a long absence. It 's great to see our old Samurai is well and still going strong after all these years.
