The rollover thing was pure BULLSHIT from consumer reports, I suspect paid for by jeep because the samurai was kicking the wrangler's ASS in sales and dependability. I've taken it fairly quick around some turns recently, it feels pretty damn stable. from where I sit, ZERO body roll. fuckin spring under axle suspension on both ends is cool.

Probably only doing two mods to it. one is a full 2" exhaust with high flow cat and lower restriction muffler for some better power/mileage, and the other, is really just replacing the rocker panels with rock sliders.

I dunno, I've personally been in one that tried to tip over.
However, it was due to poorly straddling a rut while offroading.
That aside, I always liked the Samurai and the Isuzu Amigo.

theres such a HUGE aftermarket support market for this model its scary. literally hundreds of options, and different ways I can go if I chose to. suspension, engines, transmissions, axles, body, the list pretty much covers the whole rig from lugnuts to hood.

The good: Trail Tough, Lowrange offroad, petroworks, Zuks Off Road (ZOR), Spidertrax, shockworks, Hawk Strictly Suzuki, Sky manufacturing.

The bad: Calmini, Rocky Road

Not sure: Rock 4xfabrication

There's more. I just can't think of them.

Here's my rebuilding a '98 tracker 16v for the transplant.

I actually have several of those sites bookmarked, they're awesome resources for upgrade parts, kits and other goodies in general.
