Ah yeah. The Samurai is way underrated and forgotten.

I’d pay $15k for a Samurai before I’d put it in a SXS like most folks do.

But I got in before the spike and now have 8 Samurai.

I always wanted a Dodge Raider, otherwise known as the Mitsubishi Pajero.

Yeah I got mine right before they blew up... I looked for several years for one that wasn't beat to shit or rusted out and am glad I waited. I still have a lot to do to it to make it mine, but right now I'm just going through all the major components to get it super reliable. I daily drive it, and will be doing a suzuki sidekick 1.6L 16v motor swap soon.

there was one sitting in a parking lot of a Korean church for years near where I work. Then one day I seen it was gone and then I seen it at a local wrecking yard. I should have stopped in to see what was going on with it but it's likely crushed by now.

Very cool.

I replaced rear axle bearings on my Sidekick, but that's all I've done with the axle so far.

I'd love to find one of the original ones. I believe they are one of the few vehicles that can be modified to fit our ATV registration rules on width and weight.

They were great little vehicles, I found them a little too tight for my height though.
