signed it. 

though I would rather asked for a dana 44 out of a rubicon, it's readily availible or something comparable to it

also a 6 speed would be nice with bull low and 2 overdrive gears to accomodate the low diff gears which you didnt specify, I'm assuming at least a 5.13?  5.89 would rock 

since it's a wish list, forget the low gears, stick with 4.11, and get a 3 speed transfer case, high, low 4:1 and crawler gears 20:1

how much is this gonna sell for you think?

Signed, but with regulations I doubt it will happen.  Otherwise we could just import them from India and get the LWB version.  :D

 Signed it. I think if overall it were similar in size to the Trackick only solid axle with brake, diff, and axle upgrades with removable doors and flat foldable windshield, they would easily have a strong seller here. And not like it would be hard for them to do. Or even terribly expensive. I would think that even full offroad dress should cost less than a loaded Jeep Wrangler Sport.

Woot!! It's been around for a few years at least; not sure if anyone at Suzuki has even seen it. We can at least all do our part and cross our fingers  :D

Not to ahhhh..... take a negative outlook on this, as I would like to see it happen, but I don't think it will happen. I mean, you want it to be "cheap", but have all of those offroad features? Also, the fact that jeep is the only real rigid axle vehicle available to someone not rich and they are thinking of going to ifs, kind of tells you were the market is. If suzuki did come out with a predecessor to the samurai in the states, it would probably be more like a sidekick.

Signed it.  I'd like to have one, but I have my doubts that it can be sold at a reasonable price.  We represent a small market and I imagine that a significant portion of us can't justify the $25k+ that a new one would likely cost.  I would prefer a used one, and that doesn't mean anything to the manufacturer.

also, to get over the rollover issue, which is why it got killed, they should offer axles 10-12 inches wider and 6 inch fenderflares to cover the wheels

done,  hopefully they'll start listening w/ the auto climate the way it is.  I've signed these things before, talked extensively to the dealers wrote emails to Suzuki, etc. and nothing has come from it yet.

In order to keep it cheap you have to keep it simple! Think Scout 80, military Jeep, leave the fun part up to the owner like like putin all the trail goodies on as they see fit Suzuki could offer hundreds of goodies To rig em like you want. no two rigs are alike anyway. They of course have to keep the EPA bozo's happy so other than that issue keep em basic

Boog,
Kinda like a Harley , keep it basic knowing everyone is going to customize it anyhow. Also like a Harley in the way that no 2 are alike.
