So a guy became interested in my xj and offered me one of his zuki samurais for it. The sammi has a 1.6 motor, SOA and 33 bfg muds. Just wondering if you guys would ever trade and what your opinions are. I love my xj so i dont know if I would actually do it but just a thought.

 

I would trade mine for anything thats worth more. I don't care what it is. But If it's close to same price or less no way.

 

Never thought of it like that. Not really sure which is worth more

 

1.6L vs 4L?
tiny *** two seater, vs a truck with room
I'm sure the parts are harder to find and more expensive than XJ as well.

 

thats another good point but wat about comparing their performance offroad?

 

Performance off road? Is that serious?

 

look i know a cherokee is great offroad, thats not wat i meant

 

No.

 

Yes, yes I would. I've wanted one since they first came out. Sami's are hard to find around here, XJs, not so much.

 

For me the size would be the factor and a sammy is a beast offroad dont let anybody tell you otherwise. If your really interested it wouldnt hurt to test it out on a trail with the owner of course.

 

I had a Sammi.. It had great MPG but was horribly under powered and it's a carburetor engine. I had to babysit it every cold morning till it would idle on it's own LOL
Also froze my ars off cause the heat sucked!

Sooooo.... No! Don't get that piece of junk!

 

I've got a semi stripped XJ I'm sending to the scrap yard.

I'd trade that one for it.

 

When I lived back east I wheeled with a guy who had an old tin top sammy . It was SOA on YJ springs, had Yota axles and a 4.3 chevy , F&R lockers on 35's It was damn near unstopable offroad

 

How short is the wheel base?

 

The SWB Sami's were 80" and the LWB ones were 94".
