Engineering is everything with vehicles . The overall design determines either practical functionality or a practical piece of crap. Take this Jeep here , many folks like to make these into off road rigs. Only problem is the over all design of this chassis is not meant for that , don’t get me wrong to each his own and of course work with what you have . This chassis is a unibody design like a passenger vehicle, that being said yes it’s still completely capable off road. But then again you can lift anything and turn it into an off-road toy. The ideal design for an off-road rig is a body over frame chassis , well in my eyes anyway. Since I like my vehicles like I like my sake ; Japanese , I’d say a stock Suzuki samurai will give this thing a good run for its money. But that samurai has flaws to , stock axles & t- case and drive lines are weak points, as well as the stock motor only have 1.3l , but the damn motor will scream to the red line , the the g13a motor is a beast in its own right but! If you baby a stock samurai it will take good care of you. Some good mods for the samurai are Toyota axles, t-case , drivelines and a 1.6l fuel injected motor swap. Downside on samurai’s , the prices . The samurai chassis has a colt following , with good reason . They modeled the samurai’s engineering design after the war time jeeps if im not mistaken. By no means an insult , the Japanese honored the true nature of a sport utility vehicle in such a compact design. 🧠☯️🌊🏯🐲🛡🎋⛩😂👌🌵🏜🤙🥋💪🐉😹😀⚙️🔨🔧🗻🇯🇵🇺🇸#1.3literjeepeater#suzukisamuraiofamerica #g13a #engineeringiseverything #Samurai>Jeep #sj40 #therealmastryota #therealwanderingdragon #lifeismyanime (at Yucca Valley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByEFBPdF-f_/?igshid=1imy38iy8833c
