1988 Suzuki Samurai

I built this for hunting and off roading. The difference was I was considering getting a Polaris Ranger but all tricked out the cost was over $30k and it would not be street legal. So I opted to have this custom built by off road shops. I have less than 1500 miles on it since the build. I added  on board air for front and back lockers and tire inflation, Hard top roof and rack, Three LED light bars, Custom front bumper powder coated, New 33 inch tires and 3 inch lift. 9,000 pound winch, Rebuilt 1.6 engine, rebuilt transmission, custom drive shaft, new transfer case with customized gearing. It runs great and is turn key and street legal. Also added power steering. Have all receipts for labor and parts. It has a camo vinyl real tree wrap in excellent condition. Garage kept.

Suzuki Samurai

1986 Suzuki Samurai | 4x4 | 5-Speed | $4,000 OBO

If youre looking for a fun, unique, old-school 4x4 with tons of character, this Samurai is it!

This is my 1986 Suzuki Samurai, around 100k miles, and its been a solid runner for me for years. Ive daily-driven it around town and used it for light off-roading and adventuring. Its not a show car  its a real, honest, 40-year-old mini jeep that still has a lot of life left in it!

 Mechanical Highlights
		Runs and drives well for its age
		5-speed manual shifts through all gears smoothly
		2WD & 4WD both work properly
		Newer Weber carburetor
		Recently replaced clutch kit (clutch cleaned and serviced)
		Rear brake rotors + brake fluid recently done
		Newer rear shocks
		Regular maintenance: oil changes, belt replacement, etc.
		Starts up, drives to 5th gear no problem

 Tires & Off-Road Setup
		Extreme MT Mud Claw tires with lots of life left
		Aftermarket LED headlights
		Tow triangle bar included for flat towing (hooks to ball hitch)
		Great base for trails, camping, or weekend adventures

 Extras & Interior
		Soft top included (installed)
		Removable roll cage included
		Aftermarket Bluetooth / USB stereo
		Seat covers + floor mats included
		Cool retro fabric door panels
		Roll-up windows and both doors work
		Spare set of keys
		Brand new performance radiator hoses included (not installed yet)

 Honest Notes (Read This)
		Has exterior rust, scratches, dents, and wear from age and off-road use
		Small rust hole on passenger-side floor, about golf-ball size  covered by carpet and easy to patch - Speedometer doesnt work
		Not a luxury daily  rides like an old Samurai should
		Could use more refinement if you want it buttery smooth, but it runs and drives well as-is

 Title & Registration
		Clean Colorado title in hand
		Previously registered in Colorado

 Price

$4,000 OBO

Serious buyers only. Im not in a rush to sell  just making room for newer vehicles.

This is priced where it is for a reason. Clean, mint Samurais with tin tops and no off-road history are $10k+. This one is for:
		An off-road enthusiast wanting a cheap, capable 4x4
		Someone learning manual transmission
		Anyone who wants a unique weekend rig or trail toy

No tire kickers or people looking to point out every scratch  its a 40-year-old off-road mini jeep, not a showroom car. Im happy to answer questions honestly and let serious buyers check it out.

If you know Samurais, you know how fun and bulletproof these things are!

Message me if youre genuinely interested!
