Body: Looking for a truly one-of-a-kind rig? This 100% Electric 1988 Suzuki Samurai 4WD is an absolute blast to drive and always turns heads. ⚠️ AVAILABILITY & DELIVERY NOTE: • I will be in town and this rig will be available for in-person showings from 10/19 to 10/29 only. • Willing to help with delivery within 112 miles of my location for the right buyer! Message me now to schedule a time to see it. This truck was professionally converted to electric about 5 years ago by the previous owner (an OEM electric vehicle specialist) as a high-end personal project. I’ve absolutely loved owning this truck as a local summer cruiser, but it's time for me to pass it on. The custom electric drive system has less than 5,000 miles on it and is incredibly robust, well-built, and reliable. NEW Upgrades Added: • Bikini Hard Top: Offers great protection while keeping that open-air, rugged look. • Custom Roof Rack: Perfect for hauling extra gear, camping supplies, or outdoor equipment. • Brand New Windshield: Scheduled to be completely replaced and will be pristine for the buyer. The EV Drive & Performance: • Power: AC Induction system producing 80 hp and 130 lb-ft of instant torque. It’s snappy, light, and perfectly sized for this compact truck. • Transmission: Runs through the stock "clutchless" manual transmission (no clutch pedal needed due to low rotational motor weight). Drive it almost exclusively in 2nd and 3rd gear. 2nd gear gets you to 40 mph; top speed is about 65 mph. • Battery & Range: Custom-built 13.3 kWh system using Lithium Phosphate Prismatic Cells (the safest, longest-lasting chemistry available, rated for 3,000+ cycles). Range is 40 miles, and the battery is still at 100% capacity with zero degradation. • Charging: Charges easily from any standard 120V or 240V household wall outlet. No special EV charging stations required! Bonus Feature: A Mobile Home Generator The truck includes a 1000W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter. This essentially turns the Samurai into a 120V backup power generator with 13.3 kWh of usable capacity (the exact same capacity as a Tesla Powerwall). It works beautifully for backing up home essentials or ultimate off-grid camping. Off-Road & Additional Features: • Fully functional 4WD (High and Low) with differential lockers. • Regenerative braking via a custom button on the steering wheel. • Premium Corbeau seats. • Adjustable Rancho shocks. • 16" Pro Comp polished aluminum wheels. • Goodyear Wrangler UltraTerrain AT tires (265/75R16) with 98% tread remaining. The Honest Details: • The Paint: It’s bright orange but won't win any beauty pageants. The previous owner did a bit of a lazy repaint before my time. It fits the rugged, fun nature of the truck perfectly, but you could easily repaint it if you want it pristine. • The Title: Rebuilt title status. This is a massive conversation starter wherever it goes. It comes complete with the new hard top, roof rack, removable doors, a full outdoor cover, and some random spare parts. Price: $11,500 Terms: Cash or will consider a trade for a fishing boat. Clean title in hand. Call/Text for showing or questions 970-three90-2151
