Beside a daily driver, my 1500 silver also serves as the tow rig for my 1988 Suzuki Samurai.

It's been a long road with it, but basically here's what it's got:

1.6l Suzuki Tracker Engine and EFI - You'd be surprised the difference a .3l in an engine can make :lol:
1984 Front Toyota Axle with a Lock-Right Locker and 2" Spacers
1985 Rear Toyota Axle with a Spartan Locker and Anti-Wrap bar
6.5 Transfer case gears with a Cradle
Aftermarket Bumpers, winch up front, tire carrier in the rear
Roll Cage, Nerf Bars
No Radio, just an amp with an iPod hook up
Renegade Suspension Seats
20LB Co2 Tank


And probably 200 more things I am forgetting, but here it is:

"it's like a jeep, only for 80% cheaper!"

:lol: all the samurai guys I know love them, a few farmers around here use them for their running around truck, mainly cause of durability and price.

Cool rig. :thumbs:
