Title: What kind of SJ is my sami??
Post by: 1987zukisamurai1.3 on February 29, 2012, 09:24:56 PM

Hey guys, after reading thru a lot of topics on here, I noticed a lot of people specifying their model (SJ###) and i realized i have no idea what mine is.  Could any of you tell me from looking at it?  Or did they only make one type in 1987?

here's a pic if it helps:

That should be a SJ-413.  The 410 had a 4 speed, smaller axles, 970cc 4cyl engine and lower gears.  Some other minor differences but those are the main ones.  The SJ-413 was named the Samuria in most markets.  :)

Don't think that's quite right, mine is a 5-speed!  Are there any pictures or anything i could post to make this easier for you guys?  Would a picture of the engine help to determine the model?

That Looks like an SJ413 Samurai to me. The SJ410 had a metal grill up to around 1998 and didn't have the flares or the raised bonnet line.

I have enough SJ-410 documentation I should know the difference.  I blame browsing late.  :0
