Hey guys I am totally new to the offroad/4x4 scene. One of my buddies is selling his Suzuki Samurai and I am thinking about buying it. I am not sure of the year or engine size. I know..... I know I should have had this info before I posted for you guys to help but I can get that info if needed. Anyways, I know its a stock 4cyl and 5 speed. Stock wheels and tires. Its something he just used around his farm to play with.
I'm not looking to make this thing into a massive rock crawler(at this time:driver:). Just wanting to add a better suspention setup and also larger wheels and tires. It runs and drives nice in the trails but the suspention is just a little firm for my taste. What kind of money can I expect to be putting into this thing to get what I am looking for? Again, nothing off the wall, just wanting a taller stance, larger wheels and tires and a little softer ride( it rides like a log waggon right now!!).
Thanks for your time.

To answer your question, yes a Samurai is a good choice to get into wheeling. Just make sure the frame isn't got too much rust or damage. The options are endless for what you can do with a Samurai. Do a lot of research and choose wisely. Good luck.
 
There are many options.

How much do you plan on spending for the mods?

What size tire do you want to run?
 
trail gear makes some sammi stuff. about 300 for all four springs.
