Just want to say hello and extend thanks to the Suzuki community for the good energy that you all create :) I live way off grid in the PNW 30 miles down a logging road and I randomly got this Samurai from a friend when my GMC Safari suspension blew up and the Safari needed to be sidelined for a bit until I rebuilt all the front end happenings. Got the Samurai thinking it was in great shape but on the drive home it started to overheat and realized that oil and gear oil was leaking everywhere as well. Put in a new thermostat and today just did the water pump and I'm now in it for the duration. Next I'm going to fix all the seals. I've been staying at my moms house to fix up the vehicles because she has the internet at her house and I've been learning heaps along the journey. Fixed up the Safari van and it's back to my daily driver for now but I'll be asking for some help in the coming month as I'm cleaning up the motor in the Samurai and fixing all the oil leaks and learning along the way. The drive train has issues as well and I'm far from a mechanic but the forced happenings to learn is turning into a guideline on how to approach any thing happens in life I'm learning. I've now got the service manual and I'm beginning to understand things a lot more. Anyway, thank you to ZUKS OFF ROAD and all of you in the Suzuki community for sharing your knowledge. I'm falling in love with this Samurai and excited for the adventures ahead. Thanks for taking the time. Ramble happenings from the PNW :)
THANK YOU :)
