I shared this to the media section months ago. Sorry for being really late. Also to celebrate the back in production in limited time for the new ones in japan recently :)

So this is my ride. Rare from 1970's and requires many overhauls. Ads are rare so here is the upside down version.

Version 1.4.2: "Big"-engined model, mainly for export markets. New grille with lower mounted headlights. Metal doors available as of 1979, as well as a longer pickup version (LJ81). Year of production: 1979

Original F8A — 0.8 L (797 cc, 62.0 x 66.0 mm) SOHC - this was Suzuki's first four-stroke car engine. Tweaked a bit by ECU computer. Bit economical, nothing special.

Added some AC, and some phone hinge (not visible and removed, hence w/o accessories). Power steering also added. Result is the accu and some other parts must be replaced.

Other nice pitcure goodies :)

A weird-ass, old micro-SUV I've never heard of, which almost looks lowered and with Recaros.. Awesome! :)
 
I do not know why,but I love this thing! ♡
 
Very cool! Haven't seen one of those in ages. It seems to be in great condition.

Kei SUV. Power is probably at arround 30HP but no idea after i added computer on it :D

But really, this thing is super light! 600-700 kg i suppose. Turns well and the 4WD-2WD interchanger is still works :)

@Dennisch Yes. Though previously needs quite a recondition, especially the engine. But the end result is really my favourite.

Rally tires?

Seems like it :p Maybe not really a good idea for this SUV. But the handling is nice though. Super light and unbelievably tiny.
 
That's very cool. Gravel tires with awesome Sparco wheels, what more could you want?
My dad had a Suzuki SJ410 flat deck. Was terribly slow but it could go most places larger heavier 4WDs couldn't go due to it's size and weight.

The spartan interior with Recaro seats and rally wheels makes it look like a race car. Nice =)
