Suzuki Lightning Conversions is well known for their complete kits enabling Suzuki owners to install Chevrolet V6 and V8 engines into their vehicles. Suzuki Lightning also builds turnkey 4x4s for customers and is kept busy doing these projects all year round.
We were talking with Alan Kempton, owner of Suzuki Lightning a couple of years ago. He mentioned that he had quite a collection of Samurai frames and other pieces from doing these projects over the years. We suggested that, since the Samurai has just about the same wheelbase and track width of a flatfender Jeep, why didn't he build a "kit Jeep," using the Suzuki Samurai frame and other parts. Alan thought that might be a good idea and went to work. |
