As of just a few months back, an Australian, soft-top Suzuki Sierra (Samurai
in US)
Stock standard except for snorkel, UHF, CD player, Dueler 693's (or is it
639's), spotties.
(winch in the recovery kit where it can be used in any direction when
needed)
Plans (roughly in order of purchase):
Larger exhaust right through.
Calmini Suspension Kit with lift and reverse shackles.
Bigger wheels to give better choice of off-road tyres, as the Duelers were
the most aggressive available for the standard tyre/wheel on the zook.
Long Term: An engine conversion to a Vitara engine (maybe even the V6 if it
can be done)
Then eventually it will be supplemented with a Turbo Diesel Prado, with a
pile of mods, when I finally get totally jack of having to deal with this
equation - "Recovery Kit, Camping Gear, Family - Choose ONE" It's just SO
short in space. However, I'll have put so much more into her than I'd ever
get back, and she's just such a huge pile of fun to play with, that I'll
SUPPLEMENT her, not REPLACE her when the time comes.
