I would recommend leaving it standard for now. Attend a few off road events and look at what others have done. Then decide what you want to do/can afford to do. The SJ is very capable stock, the modifications that can be done are numerous.
-
A small lift, some mud tires and a rear locker
will get you quite a way up the trail off road.
After you get used to wheeling, look at some
low Transfercase gears, more lift, or a body lift
and some larger tires, maybe some diff gears
if you go to 35" tires
Go to
www.puresuzuki.com for some pictures and ideas
of prices, you might want to find a European or UK
distributor for your purchased parts
Post some pictures of your Suzuki
Good Luck

Welcome!
Here is my favorite spot to send new folks who want to find out everything about Suzuki SJ-413s:
http://www.acksfaq.com (http://Ack's FAQ) ;D
Click on the yellow Search button. When the next page appears, click on the Submit button to see a list of all the links to useful information. You can also enter a search word and find things too.
Most of us feel that 32-inch tires are the biggest that you can put on a SJ-413 axle. Bigger tires makes axles break.
You can trim your wheel wells to make them fit bigger tires even if you do not raise your truck's suspension. Do a search using the words virtual lift to find out how to make a virtual lift.
Finally, like others have said. take your SJ-413 off-roading just as it is. You will be suprised at how well it works with no modifications!

The CR numbers look OK (I assume thats bar?). Blue smoke could be oil or fuel. Can you smell it? What colour are the spark plugs? what does the oil look like? It could be something fairly minor like dirt in the carb, a fuel pump diaghram or worn valve seals.

Another good source of information on modifying a Samurai is www.izook.com
They have an archive of articles written by people who have done the modifications, and most have pictures.
I agree, take it out a few times stock, and get a feel for it. The type of wheeling you do will give you a pretty good idea what will make it perform better.
Without a lift, I think you can go with 225x75x15 tires (and possibly 235s) without a problem. Check with izook...

when engine is cold the smoke is gray and it smells like fuel
after it worms up smoke becomes black when I'm pushing throttle quickly
oil is new but befor I have changed it it was mixed with fuel. Mayby because I was trying to start the engine for about an hour?
I didn't check spark plugs yet
After buying the car I have chanded those things:
oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, cables, distriburors cab, timing belt and that thing which makes it tight, that belt which runs water pump and cooling windmill,
next for change are:
oil in transmisions, oil in those things where are wheels mounted :) and oil or grease in apples
Sorry for not knowing the right names for all things :) but my technical english is very poor :(
-
Gray/black smoke is a fuelling problem, could be the carb. You should keep an eye on the engine oil. If it becomes contaminated with fuel then the fuel pump diagphram could be damaged. If it is thn the fuel will ruin the oil and will lead to severe engine damage
-
what is carb. ? and what is fuel pomp diagphram?
what could I do to prevent it?
If possible show me on picture what are those two things above :)
-
