Newbie here

Post by Ratty » Tue Nov 27, 2012 10:37 am

Hi

Parents had a suzuki sj in 88.
This was the first vehicle id ever been in.
I have loved the suzuki sj's ever since but never owned one.

I will be looking to buy one.

I am also trying to trace the one my parents had.

Its a white sj. 1988 Reg: F842MLC

Looks like this:

Welcome to the forum.

Thats how it all starts. Me and my dad bought our first one when i was about 13 i think. Never looked back. I've had all sorts but always said I wanted a good modded Zuk. Now, like a few others who shall remain nameless I appear to be collecting them. Lol.

And the Zuk is a permanant project as and when I have spare cash to blow.

As standard no SJ or Samurai has diff locks. Plenty of suppliers out there for a variety of different makes.

Is there much space in the back of the suzukis?

As i want to go greenlane camping and dont know if there would be alot of space to put stuff into it. Ie cooker tent.

I currently have a vw syncro but its quite long. Would like a shorter 4x4
