Talk about a versatile platform for off-roading. The Samurai is a lot of fun to play around with. I have owned some Samurai's over the years and can say that in stock form they're not the best. I recently picked up an 87 Samurai with a swapped diesel and 6-inch lift; it is the most fun I have ever had wheeling. The Samurai is small and nimble enough to navigate through terrain and with a swap, it has the power too.
