Seller Write-up
1987 Suzuki Samurai JX For Sale
Brief History:
Picked up Suzuki in Arizona around October 2024. The engine blew while it was being driven home. Had it towed to local mechanic in Yucca Valley. It was then towed to Petro Works in Fallbrook, California where they rebuilt the engine. It was smogged by Smog Brothers in Fallbrook, CA on December 17th 2024.
See attached receipts for full engine rebuild by Petro Works. Over $8K spent. Other receipts show new battery installed in April of 2026. Other maintenance and repairs receipts also attached.
Vehicle is currently still registered in Arizona but passed CA smog.
Tires are BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 LT315/70R17 (35″ with 17″ wheel)
Tires are date coded 4523 which is early November 2023.
**One issue of note is that the rear handle on the tailgate is broken
From the Owners – Why they are selling:
We are selling as our e-bikes, paddle boards and canoe won’t fit. My wife and I are also past the enjoyment window for 4-wheeling at the age of 75.
Possibly would be willing to trade for older (nothing newer than 2000) Toyota Manuel 4 wheel drive preferably.
