When I rolled it, it rolled onto the passenger side and flew about 10 feet into the air. Then landed on it's wheels. I lost control after shifting on ice.

I don't know what it is about the sammari's but when you own one you just fall in love with the things. If your a Jeep person ya kinda know what im talking about. "It's a jeep thing, you just don't understand." We'll for us suzuki owners, "It's a Zuk thing, we wish we could understand." I bet you that ALMOST every sammi owner out there would love to have a Jeep. They might not say it, but I'll tell you this, they sure as hell wouldn't trade there Zuk for it. Yes a Sammari may look like a sidekick or a tracker but don't ever call my sami one of them or a Jeep (I just broke my habbit of calling it a Jeep).

Well my sami not much to look at its just a stock Suzuki with not much biger tires from the stock tires (205/70). I put the Good Year Wranglers (225/75) since my friend has had good luck with his. I bought a new top from bestops.com its a two piece so I can take the front top or the back top off, instead of the whole thing. It made a big difference on appearance with a new top. The old top looked like a bunch of old rags duck taped together. My sami has a few major dents in the back right side that I hope to fix but afraid to, seeing how I been treating it bad on the trails.

That sprite can has been on there for months... I left it on there so people wont ride my butt on the highway. I alway hate it when people ask me, "Were you mudding latly?" I always say "Nope just went down a dirt road." Heres your sign.

WHAT I WANT
I plan (once I get time) to put a old sidekick 1.6L into the sami to replace the under power 1.3L. I have the mod kit from calmini.com all I need is the time. I dont plan to do mods soon, seeing how I need the car everyday to drive to work.

A mod I see alot of on this site is the spring over lift. I would like to hear more about that, and the best way to do it. I have been looking at calmini’s shackle reverse kit it should give me a 2in lift so I can fit some 30” tires under my Zuk, then slowly work my way to the combo kit that will give me 5 to 6ins of lift. The shackle reverse kit should give me more stability vs. the spring over and less axle warp.

I also want to get a winch and gard for the front bumber or replace the front bumber, I seen a few bumbers replaced on here that I realy liked.
The winch would come in handy countless pass 4wheeling trips.

So when I’m done building my Zuk I am wishing for it to look like this...
