I got this 88.5 Samurai. It has been a tow vehicle most of it's life of 140000 miles. It is very clean and in near new condition. It had a white top, 3" lift, chrome wheels and stock bumpers when I got it. The engine had 40000 on it and they were most all towed. It was a 1300  with stock carb and now runs very well with 177 lbs compression.

Special thanks to Tom and the crew at for their expert advice and leading me in the right direction. They truly are not out to just sell what they have but to make sure I make the right decisions.

Special thanks to Myron at Zuks Off Road. He has spent countless time with me and his support of all things Suzuki and to the Suzuki community.

Give both these companies a call. They have lots to offer.

I have learned so much from this site and all the nice people on it. They have all been very helpful for I knew nothing about these very capable cars before I got one. Now I am hooked on the crawling experience and am sure to start new projects in the future.

Picked it up, day one

And as it sets today
