Me and my 1995 Suzuki Samurai

[afrasay]

1995 Suzuki Samurai-SJ413

Mods:
2 inch body lift
1 inch suspension lift
repositioned shock mounts for longer shocks
2 inch. exhaust pipe
freeflow muffler
31 inch Pirelli Scorpions mud tires
swap t-case for a SJ410 for lower gearing
fire extinguisher

Bosch Platinum plugs
Gas tank armor

It has taken me to and back (well most of the time) from the trails of Tanay, Boso-Boso and Maarat. It is also my daily ride during my coding day.

Inggit! Nice mods... practical!

What car is the new tranny from? An older Samurai? Doesn't it affect your top speed or economy?

[afrasay]

It's from a 1000cc jimny/samurai. With bigger tires than stock 27" to 31" I've lost my "omph" so I need to shift one gear down. The change to a 410 t-case (lower gearing) makes me now shift normally.

I can imagine, then, that your speedometer is mostly "suggestive" now instead of indicative...

Anyways, nice rig, man... inggit ako talaga...

You're right. My speedo reads 60 kph but I'm really going 80 kph and overtaking cars at SLEx. It suggest that I'm moving na. :D

Hi. Very impressive. Howerver, I have a rather naive question. Given the choice, what to do you think of Suzuki Vitara as compared to the Samurai? Why?

I am seriously eying and weighing a Suzuki for my daily ride as well as weekend not-so-off-road sorties.

Thank you.

[afrasay]

I would go for a Vitara for a daily drive. It offers much more creature comfort (at a price of course)than a Samurai. I use my Samurai during my coding day and weekend trails.

Ok ang Samurai, its like having a mini land cruise or a patrol due to its front solid axle. Mura ang parts and readily available. Prices range from 80 to 180k. Got mine for 90k. Had it in blue color, its the one in Mikaztro's post.

[caloyski5]

and the next question is, how much have you already spent now that it's orange (paint,suspension,tires,mods,lahat)?

[afrasay]

Very minimal. Suspension is still stock, even the steering components and even the steering stab is still the original one. Leaf springs F/R were purchased from UE auto supply, I believe they also supply Philhino these leafs. Shocks are KYB fluids. Paint job pretty much the same as a regular sedan. Pirellis were originally 30 inchers but were swap to 31's. The only major mods in Kitty was a body lift and a surplus t-case from an sj410. Pretty much a poor by poor upgrade if I may add.
