They are super useful on trails. Saw a bone stock white hardtop for sale here the other day. Straight and clean, no salt here. Overall, I need more room and want to be able to sleep in the back so I went with a Toyota truck for my build but they'd have their place. Used to be a company in Oregon that sold like new really clean units for about $5K, back when they were just a few years old and more plentiful. .

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. Mine has CJ springs in the rear and rear springs moved up front, Tracker Power steering, disc brakes, Toyota Corolla carb, Tracker starter and alternator, 4.16 t-case gears with a cradle, a mini spool in the rear and a few other things. It's very capable off-road and has good manners on the pavement.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

My nephew drove my 3rd one on our hunting property. He came walking in all muddy and wet. He said it was stuck and he couldn't get out of the mud. Stupid educated AZZ. Didn't know you had to lock the front hubs. My last one I sold to my brother. He raised it a little and big tires. I need to see if I still have photos. We painted Teddy Roosevelt on the tailgate. It sure as 'ell a rough rider. We used to buy them for $750-$800 back then. Probably in the 2000 time frame. We have one left on our hunting property and we really like it. I wouldn't drive any of them on the highway over 10-15 miles though.

Flave, I had a 1987 hardtop... that thing would go anywhere! I first saw them in Nepal in 1984. I'd never seen anything quite like it, and at the time they weren't available in the USA. When they showed up in the states some years later I just had to have one. Amazing little vehicles... Pulled this off the net, this is the exact one I had, color and all:

My third nephew had three of them, two for parts and one he'd dropped a 4.3 V-6 into. It kept him busy and out of trouble, I guess. I do know we used one of the "parts" Sammis to drag out a deer and had no issues with it. I think he's upgraded to Jeep Cherokees now, but he sure had some fun with the little Samurais.

I tried to buy one once. Lady around the block from me had one that had a blown motor. We made a deal for $400, but being late on a friday evening I couldn't get cash out of the bank. I gave her a check and said I'd be back the next day with cash and a trailer to haul it home. When I showed up she handed me the check back and told me she sold it to somebody else. Dam I was pissed. And then I saw it sit in her driveway for another year or so until I moved away and didn't go by it anymore.

The Outfitter I Moose hunted with in BC had a fleet of Trackers and Samurais. All were bone stock with all season tires. We took that little Suzuki places I would of been scared to take a 4 wheeler. Never had a issue I was impressed to say the least. They can drive thru a substantial amount of beaver damned water as well. A quartered bull moose and 2 adult males really slow them down though.

I have an 87 hardtop. It is a 4wheeler with a heater. Come on by with $4k and I'll drive it up on your trailer. No rust, 2" rancho spring lift.

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. The turbo's are a game changer I think. Bigger engines make them unbalanced though. The thing about a Samurai is they are perfectly balanced. They just float over schit.

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. When you're boss, you're boss. People tend to notice.

It's funny how prevalent great 4x4's are in schit hole (foreign) countries but not imported here. They say the 1988 lawsuit is the reason Suzuki pulled the plug on North America and I'd bet that's mostly true. They're still made today. Just not imported here.
