Suzuki Samurai - Information and links for Samurai owners and off-roaders

General

• The Samurai is a true truck (a very small one) that's easy on gas, cute, nimble, and fun. Despite new truck sales being stopped by a headline hunting magazine (there were other 4x4's much more roll-over prone, but they had advertizing dollars behind them), Samurais continue to be a favorite as lifted off-roaders, really jacked up rock crawlers, senior citizen econocars, economical 2nd & 3rd cars for working families who want to play off-road on weekends, and even cut-down roadsters. An entire cottage industry now supports the Samurai.

• Keltec Systems   Great ABS interior replacement panels. The supplied fastners aren't the best though. Great support. They immediately replaced the wrong panels that Petroworks shipped me and supplied the directions that Petroworks didn't send.
• Mild to Wild Suzuki  
• Petroworks Off-Road Products   Seem like really nice folks, but they can sure screw up an order.
• Rocky Road Outfitters (Summit Off-Road)   They seem to be the best source for suspension. They are the only ones I found with Old Man Emu, National, and Rancho. Glen was very helpful in choosing my new springs etc., but easier to contact via email then by phone.
• Spidertrax Inc.  
• SuzukiJohn   Super Source for New (OEM) Suzuki Samurai Parts and Used Parts. He has almost any stock samurai part you can think of. He also has Short and Long Blocks, and ready to go Samurais for sale.
