Here's my '88 Suzuki Samurai, I bought her from the original owner a few years ago and she's been slowly getting beaten to hell by my terrible driving and even worse mechanical skills.  She's got a 3" Rocky Road Suspension lift, 30" Super Swamper tsl/sx tires, and 3" fender flares. 

This is the most fun to drive car I've ever been in.  There's the abject terror of being in the SUV behind the "flipping" stereotype (with an extra few inches of height), getting wet every time I drive through a puddle thanks to the massive rust holes, and the fact that the right brakes are so much stronger than the left that the truck turns to the right under hard braking.  Every time I get behind the wheel of the Samurai, it's an adventure.

I have a full sized spare tire now, but for a while I had to live with the prospect of playing seesaw if I ever got a flat.  thankfully that never happened.

Before I parked her for the move to FL, I painted the whole front grill (along with any rust spot I cleaned up) with black rattle can bedliner.

Right now she's sitting in someone's yard collecting rust, but as soon as I get the funds she'll be fixed up and back on the road.  She might even get brought down to sunny FL where the convertible top will actually get some use.
