jaimesix's 1988 Suzuki Samurai This is my Suzuki Samurai. Also known around the world as Suzuki Sierra, Suzuki Gipsy , and Maruti in India .
Currently it is a stock Samurai except for the front and rear Con Ferr shanckles and longer Rancho 9000 Shocks.jaimesix's 1988 Suzuki Samurai The Front bumper was ablated because it is afixed to the car the wrong way. More damage to the chasis and vehicle can happen from using the factory bumper. I will get an after market bumper.

. Currently it has 32 / 11.50 / 15 tires on the back, with stock wheels. The front tires are a little smaller and will remain so untill I raise the suspension for clerance, currently those tires are 31 / 10.50 / 15 . Always stock wheels .
jaimesix's 1988 Suzuki Samurai . New improvemwents call for YJ suspension , to improve not only flexibility but SPUA to keep center of gravity low and to be able to keep use of a stabilizing bar for city driving.
Also, Bigger wheels and tires will follow. The motor will remain 1300 untill I move to another state, when it will receive a transplant , either a Swift DOHC T engine by Suzuki or a 13B rotary by Mazda.jaimesix's 1988 Suzuki Samurai.

Subsequently a Roll cage, full roll cage front and rear will follow. In this small version of a lion vehicle a cage is needed, you never know when this Suzuki will show its paws and jump like a wild vehicle it is, wild and powerfull, and a cage will add protection for us his companions.

. This Samurai also rides the concrete jungles within town, specially now that gasoline prices are at black mailing levels making millions of dollars to the big oil greedy companies, so my Suzuki has a mission on the road as well as off road.jaimesix's 1988 Suzuki Samurai

I already have the off road lamps, 9 in round driving lamps, and will get a set of fog lamps too, to complete the set. Those will be afixed to the new bumper.

A stereo set up is also awaiting instalation. A box with 2 Polk triaxial 6X9 speakers will be afixed to the top bars located overhead holding the windshield frame to the center support bar behind the seats.
An amplifier , equalizer and CD cassete radio system will provide the added confort and music needed for the long trips to Montana, Northern California and eventually Mexico. jaimesix's 1988 Suzuki Samurai For off roads adventures I always connect my CB radio. Celullars sometimes fail, specially away from civilization, and a CD radio will become the liason needed.jaimesix's 1988 Suzuki Samurai

I will keep adding information with the improvemewnts that will come along.
