Suzuki Samurai SJ413 (US Market)

1986–1995 · SJ413 · suv

Body-on-frame, leaf-sprung, solid-axle 4x4 with a 1.3L G13BA inline-4 (66 hp). Offered as a convertible or hardtop in the US. Famously called rollover-prone in a 1988 Consumer Reports test (Suzuki sued and settled in 2004). Withdrawn from US/Canada after 1995. A cult favorite for rock crawling and lightweight off-road builds.

Watch out: Rust everywhere — frame, body, tub corners. The G13BA carbureted engine struggles with modern ethanol fuel. Stock rollover dynamics remain genuinely tippy; lifted/lockered builds need wider stance to be safe. Verify the frame rails are solid before any purchase.
