Readers’ Rides:
1995 Suzuki Samurai
Added on May 20 by GameboyRMH
Daily Driver/ Potholecrosser, offroader and parts hauler. The engine was recently rebuilt and the body was recently “restored” (read: hastily sandblasted and repainted) but there’s still some rust to take care of. A bull bar with fog lights for wheelin’ is also in the works. I plan on switching to only an electric fan but right now I’m running mechanical + electric. Further down the road I’m planning adjustable shocks and an adjustable steering damper if possible. My next set of wheels will be 31x11.5s on 8” offset 15” rims. I might have to go a little higher for that, somehow.
