Anyone familiar with the little Suzuki 4x4s?

Looking at possibly a early Jimny or Vitara. Main focus will be chasing gutters up the beach.

Am I pushing things with a budget of around $5000? Want something that is not going to leave me stranded up the beach though..

Yay, nay?

any zook that doesn't have a cloud of Castrol R fumes following it, is too advanced for the Aussie market

^^Yep get a early 90's sierra and put a Suzuki GTi motor in it

Will embarrass a LOT of Pootrol and Lamcrooser folks.

Well, almost all of them......

Dad had the long wheel base Sierra, would float over the deep soft sand that the big 4s would get stuck in. Don't worry about having an accident on the road, it's the last thing you will remember

Miniature 4X4s! That's going against the grain. To get around town with impunity these days, (and maybe do a little fishing) you'll need the Toyota Tundra.

I learnt to drive in the Suzuki LJ50, that thing was a weapon!

how do the 2 stroke suzukis work? do you have to add oil as you fill like a mower?

oil injection, they have a separate tank, more than once I had service station attendants run out and tell me I couldn't use outboard oil in a car.

Blew a motor in mine once so purchased a s/h motor imported from Japan, wasn't sure how good the oil pump worked after I fitted it so I pre mixed the first tank. The pump was working fine so it got double the oil and I drove around town with a cloud of blue smoke following behind for a few days.

jimny even has a sleeper kit

Judging from the thread title, is this what you are looking for?
