\"Suzuki<\/a><\/p>\n

Zuks Offroad<\/a> built this 1987 Suzuki Samurai in 2019 at their company in Camp Verde, Arizona. It is powered by a 1.6 L G16B<\/a> (L01) 16v inline-four from a Geo\/Chevy Tracker. Behind that is a five-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. The rest of the drivetrain uses heavy-duty driveshafts, gusseted front axle, ARB air locking rear axle, and chromoly axles. Zuks Offroad modified the Suzuki’s handling using Jeep YJ Wrangler SPOA suspension lift with long-travel shocks, and front disc brakes. The body is covered in Atomic Orange paint with removable doors, fold-down windshield, Zuks Offroad bumpers, and a set of Ion Alloy 174 15-inch wheels with BFGoodrich All-Terrain T\/A KO 33\u00d712.5-inch tires. The SUV sold on Bring a Trailer<\/a> for $18,500.<\/p>\n
