I have a moderatly built Samurai with a fuel injected 1.6 16 valve motor swap done right! I want to trade for a Toyota truck, or a similarly modified Suzuki sidekick or Geo Tracker must be 4x4. The Toyota must be 4x4 with a manual transmission and I will consider any motor except the 3.0 (sorry I am just not a fan). Suzuki or Geo must be 4x4 and soft top. Let's keep the miles somewhere around 150k (Samurai is at 110k with much less on the motor). I also have to have working AC if I am going to give up my soft top!
At just over 5" wide this Samurai can travel most 4 wheeler trails and keep you warm and dry at the same time. Seating for four means you can take the family with you if you choose. Then you can drive it home at the end of the day. The old adage ("you go fast, I go anywhere") used for Samurai's does not really apply to this one. The engine swap nearly doubled the stock HP and this truck will cruise 70mph at around 4000 rpm.
Engine:
1999 Chevy Tracker Fuel Injected 1.6 Engine
Trail Tough 1.6 conversion kit with TT modified wiring harness
Full Circle indestructible engine mounts
Transmission:
Stock, and an extra
Transfer Case:
Samurai Transfer case -- rebuilt with Trail Tough Rockmonster 4.9 gear set
Trail Tough Mighty Kong transfer case cradle
Axles:
The axles are all stock with exception to the spring over axle pads. The differentials are open and have the stock gear ratio.
Suspension Modifications:
Trail Tough 2" body lift (1-1/2" was required for the engine installation, otherwise it would not be there)
Trail Tough spring over axle Suspension System -- Deluxe
All spring bushings replaced with Energy suspension poly bushings
Steering:
Trail Tough knuckle-over steering
Tires:
235/85 all terrain
Brakes:
The brakes are stock with brand new rotors and calipers on front about a year ago, turned the rears drums and replaced the wheel cylinders and hardware. All shoes and pads are almost new.
Seats:
From a Dodge Neon
Bumpers:
Rocky Road rear Crawler bumper with spare tire carrier.
Aftermarket front steel bumper with XRC8 winch.
