I am selling my professionally built by Jesse Keierleber @ Rsidedown www.rsidedown.com https://instagram.com/rsidedown/

This rig is perfect as a destination 4x4 or backcountry explorer. It can drive highway speeds and will surprise you that it is so quick and nimble. It can fit in a toyhauler and most smaller toy trailers but you can easily drive to the trail in this samurai and drive back after a day of exploring.

A suzuki samurai is amazing and will go most places a UTV or ATV can go at a fraction of the cost! Wheel all day and still have over half a tank of fuel.

PLEASE NOTE:
This is not a normal suzuki samurai do-it-yourself-build. This samurai is built by one of the premier offroad fabricators in Arizona. I had Jesse Keierleber build this vehicle without ever planning on selling it. He is a specialist. Only proper products were used. The wiring was completely "gone through" during the build. Every weld was precise. Every piece saw a wrench during the buildup. This samurai is is totally streetable. Jesse builds samurais to drive to the trail and back. THis one is awesome. www.rsidedown.com

The rig rips performance wise. It can drive freeway speeds and I even drove it to work for a few months. I had Jesse build it without ever expecting to sell it. If you've ever built a 4x4 or car or had a shop build a vehicle you know how much money or time it takes. I have just over 17k in it and it is just a blast to drive / camp with and wheel.

Its a dependable rig that gets tons of compliments and looks. I hate to see it go.

Cheaper than a UTV / sidebyside and it can fit in most toyhaulers if needed. Drive to the trail ... wheel all day and still have 3/4 tank left for the return trip.

PRICE:
9000$ obo

Curious how that suspension rides w/ the mix of spring under and over. Are those ome 2.5" lift yj springs in the back?

It rides very well. I believe they are the lifted ome springs yes. I've had numerous friends rave about the ride. The rs9000 adjustable shocks are very progressive and the springs just feel perfect. I personally love link suspensions and coilovers but my samurai was built using common off shelf items. This allows for easy repairs etc.

The suspension just works excellently. I hate goin slow. This little ride handles dirt roads, sand, pavement, with ease.
