Title: Sweet little Jeep waiting for a TD or TDI conversion
Post by: Powered by Spearco on April 03, 2011, 01:47:42 am

I saw this at the Portland, Or. PIR Swap Meet. A 1972 Suzuki LJ20 jeep.

Perfect for off roading or trails.

That was one of the predecessors to the Samurai:

I bought an SJ410 in Idaho in 1984 and drove it everywhere up there.  Then transferred to Oahu and drove it all around that island.  They would go anywhere and with the great ground clearance and tight turning radius it was almost impossible to get stuck or get somewhere that you couldn't get out of.

If you go here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Jimny) there is a pretty good history of the Suzuki jeeps.

That would be a lot of fun! I wish I had infinite resources to build vehicles with... time and money; the two things that get in the way of doing what I *really* want
