Greetings,

New member with a 1988 Samurai JX .

We live in the Pacific N.W. just North of Seattle.

We primarily use our Sammy as our Toad behind our Motorhome and as our expedition vehicle .

We were looking for one for a couple years . The reason we focused on the Samurai was it's light weight and off road capability . Plus , parts are readily available and reasonably priced .

Our MH has a tow limit of 3500lbs , so the Sammy gives us a good measure of safety as well as being light enough to not impact the performance or mpg of the MH.

We were on a trip from Seattle to Dallas when we found it outside Fort Worth. During the trip , while the wife was driving I was surfing Craigslist for the areas we were driving through . It was an original Southern California car then bought and moved to Texas . No rust !

The Texas owner used it as their Toad , so it came set up for towing with towbar and all the hardware included.

The previous owner did some novice rock climbing . So he kept the original gearing , so it is highway capable . He did do the SPOA for more ground clearance and stayed on top of it's maintenance .

We've been extremely happy with the little 4x4
and look forward to many more years of adventure.

Thanks for letting me use the photo of your Samurai in the site design, Bill!

You're lucky to have found one in such good condition, everything I see around here is a rust bucket.
