Suzuki Samurai Parts and the World

by GLADY REIGN

Also known by the different names Sierra, Holden Drover, Maruti Gypsy, Santana, and Caribbean, the Suzuki Samurai is part of the Japanese brand��s SJ-Series that was introduced in 1982. The Samurai, meanwhile, was brought to the US market in 1985 for the 1986 model year. Back then, it was sold for only $6200, so an impressive number of 47,000 units were sold in its first year. The Suzuki Samurai parts included a 1.3 Liter, 63 horsepower, four-cylinder engine. With its convertible and hardtop version, together with Suzuki Samurai parts accessories, the model was a huge success in the United States as it achieved the greatest sales record by a Japanese brand in its first year.

In its 1988.5 model, a number of Suzuki Samurai parts were improved so that the vehicle can be of better on-road use in the United States. The Samurai also had softer suspension settings and a larger anti-sway bar that reduces body roll. Aside from being equipped with the finest style-enhancing Suzuki Samurai parts accessories, together with the improved dashboards and seats, it also had a lower 5th gear that increased engine rpm and power on the highway. Later on, a 1.3 Liter, 66 horsepower, four-cylinder engine with throttle-body fuel injection was introduced.

The Suzuki Samurai gained worldwide recognition when the Chilean duo of Gonzalo Bravo and Eduardo Canales drove it to set a new record for the highest altitude attained by a four-wheeled vehicle in 2007. Equipped with modified Suzuki Samurai parts, the vehicle surpassed Jeep's previous record of 6,688 meters. The modified model that the record-breaking duo used had only some wheel, tire, and suspension changes. Their Samurai also packed a supercharged G16A four-cylinder under its hood. It was actually the duo's third attempt as their first try failed due to bad weather condition while the second time presented an engine problem. When they came down the volcano, Bravo and Canales did not only set a new record; they also brought with them a disproved sign that read, "Jeep Parking Only: All others don't make it up here anyway."
