I see mention from time to time about Suzuki Samurai's. Just curious how many Samurai and Sidekick owners there are here.
 
3 of the guys I ride with own those big ATV's. They are very capable trucks but I wouldn't tell them that.
 
They're like a big side-by-side.

If I knew how to post pics I would. Yes, I know that it's been posted multiple times on how to post pics. I just haven't taken the time to learn. Sorry. Hell if I could post pics. I'd post MINE.

87 Tin-top, 1.5" Rancho springs, 2" Con-Fer shackles, 30X11.50 Swamper SX's, hot rodded 1.3 with Centerforce clutch. Would go anywhere you pointed it.

I'm working on putting in my cj front springs in the rear, and having to make upper shock mounts along with needing a driveshaft, then the rears up front lol
 
I have a 1982 SJ410 with a 1987 Samurai body sitting at my parent's house. Keeping it pretty much stock for the most part at the moment aside from a VW diesel swap.

I love my 'Zuks as much as first generation Rangers. I would love to get my hands on another Sammy! Can't wait to finish this one so I can actually drive it!
 
Ya, I love my Rangers, but an open top Sami with a cage seems like it would be a ton of fun.
 
need to buy mine for your first project then jim!! I need more parts for my 67 3/4 ton ford

I got a $20 here. Let me check my change jar......

I have TRS-2 undergoing bodywork so I can get it out of the way to start the TRS-1 rebuild in August. If I got another project vehicle, my wife would kill me. And before you suggest it, she wants a Ranger.

I do however research and gather info on Sami's because I'll probably build one in the future.
