Post by: Drone637 on January 14, 2008, 12:29:42 AM: Clean looking Zuki. :)

Sometimes I wish that snorkels where worth having in the NW, they just look cool on some vehicles.

and by worth having, I mean "I wish they would last more then 5 minutes on the trail with me driving" :P

It is the part between the headlights with the Suzuki symbol on it. Yours looks different then the standard US Samurai grill because you have a newer SJ-413. I'm not sure if it was in 90 or 93 when they redesigned the grill to the style you have on your rig.

It must not snow where you are at. You and your pals have some great looking Suzukis. I bet I have more rust on one fender of my Samurai than all of the Suzukis in your pictures. Beautiful countryside too! Must be a great place to 'wheel.

Should fit no problems. The only difference in the fenders are that early Sammys had plastic flares where the newer ones had metal flares.

And the last 90 Sammy I saw had a grill like mine, the change must be nearer 93. And there are not many of those around.

Guess I can give Hawk a call and get some info on a new style grill.
