Would you buy an SJ413 over a jimny?

That Samuarai looks a little suspect, there are signs of scabbiness at the front at the bottom of the wings despite it having clearly had a fresh coat of paint over it. If you go to see it take a magnet.

I value my spine, a Jimmy is as rough as I can tolerate, an SJ413 is worse

If I had no desire to carry more than just my Mrs & certainly no children in the back, I'd have a Samurai in an instant.

It would have to be a hard top in good rust free condition. I would swap it over to a 1.6 fuel injected engine or if possible, a Jimny 1.3 double cam non vvt engine with it's gearbox and a rocklobster.

It would have Llama 4x4 3" lift springs and some Rhino Ray swivel mounts for the springs to stop them twisting along with scissor shackles. Uprated shafts & CVs and SJ ARB front and rear on 205/80/16 extreme muds.

The back would be storage of the spare, all recovery stuff and it would have an Exo cage with a cross bar in that has a centre winch going out through a hole in the roof with front and rear winches too - all Goodwinch challenge spec.

The front wings may be challenge spec tube ones too.

Not that I've though about it much...

Or I could just sort out the axles on my Jimjam and I'm most of the way there.

Don't knock the old leaf springs till you've tried Llama's ones!

I must admit, I always wanted an SJ over a Jimny but, as I drive down the road in my refined Jim, hitting bumps, potholes and speed bumps, having my internal organs shook to bits I wonder how anybody could cope with an SJ with the shorter wheelbase and leafsprings............Think i'll stick with the Jimny :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
