The blue one is a proper buggy! Though the hound looks a bit embarrassed by it. I was his owner. He pretty much lived his whole life embarrassed. That blue one was locked up front and rear. It was quite ridiculous/dangerous to play around. The daily driver had a locker in the rear diff. Would go ANYWHERE. Great little rig.

It’d be a fun trip. Don’t think you’ll be spending anytime outside of the right lane though. Lol.
Likely need a strong tailwind to top 70mph. Yeah. That would be some slow going. LMAO. He said there is a guy that ships for him for around $600. I may just go that route. I think you'd come out ahead on that deal. You could damn near fit one in the back of a UPS truck.

Hahaha. "Quads with heaters" is about perfect.
Merry Christmas, Dwayne.
Travis Travis: Thanks for the reply. A quick story for you to illustrate to the uninitiated what these little gems are capable of. Aforementioned hunting partner and I are out trying to get a spring turkey for our youngest daughter one spring many, many springs ago. We're all piled into a two door he had at the time - daughter riding shotgun - but with a .22 since we shoot birds that way up here in the uncouth north - and me in the back. As we're traversing all sorts of snow drifts, etc - it's early spring - I'm sitting in the back seat and noting the lack of a come along, winch or even a decent shovel.... Not wanting to be an alarmist or question buddy's off-roading savvy, I gently ask, "So just when do you think the snow will be deep enough that we should turn around?" He responds, "When I have to stick it in 4 wheel drive Dwayne." !!!! We were going places that I would have been absolutely stuck and shoveling in any full sized 4x4 pickup I've owned - 2 '87 F150's, a '99 F150 and current '03 Ram with a Cummins - any and all of 'em would not have been there in 4x4 but there we were chugging along in 2WD... I've been running 4x4 rigs since '81 too and being off road isn't exactly a new thing for me as "off road" or a major log haul road is exactly 2 kilometers from where I'm typing. Anyway thought I'd share that whilst my second cup of coffee kicks in and before we head into town to see the grandmas. All the very best to you and yours again this Christmas Season. Dwayne Oh yeah. I can relate to that. The thing about Samurai's is they are so damn light they often times won't end up where most trucks would. They damn near float. Over everything. Back when 4X4 Offroad mag. had their first readers off road rig challenge there was a guy that showed up with a lifted Samurai pulling a trailer. He did all the obstacles pulling that trailer and judges surmised that the trailer helped with that "float" you mentioned. The little sucker was up against some serious rigs of the time and almost won the competition rating. I see few around the Flathead but like has been mentioned, most are pretty clapped out. This one looks decent though: https://kalispell.craigslist.org/cto/d/1988-suzuki-samurai-obo/6754019473.html albeit more than I'd want to spend. The practical side of me keep s me in Toyota's but the little Samy's do look fun.

It's the diamond plate that almost make that rig, but throw some Iguana skulls on that thing and you'll have babes from all over the Keys gooning for your attention!

I'd be interested to see what you could get a guy down to on that one.

I have a friend whose ranch I hunt and he has gotten rid of his side by sides for the Samurai's. Claims they will climb a tree and so quiet you can drive right up on a herd of Pigs.

One of the 4x4 mags had an article a couple months ago about Zuks turbo kit. They dynoed one before and after, it went from 37 horsepower stock to 75 with the turbo.
I’ve always kinda wanted one to bomb around in, remember when my cousin bought one brand new when she started college. I might have to find one to cool with.

One of my hunting mentors had one. He built a lift kit for it and installed lockers.
That little thing would go absolutely anywhere.
One evening while elk hunting, we dropped 2 spike elk up in a clearcut. We loaded the 2 elk whole on the rear hitch carrier, put 4 of us inside and then drove to camp. The looks we got on the way were priceless.
