Tires will need a road force balance or replaced. I didn't replace the tires because I am not sure of the new buyers intended purpose. If they are going to drive on road, then I didn't want to replace with off road tires.Samurai has been sitting in the garage for awhile, however I charged the battery and it started right up. The fuel is old in the tank, but it still runs very good. I believe the carburetor at some point was either rebuilt or something because it runs very smooth. The only spot I can see rust right now is on the gas tank skid plate. I was going to replace this with an aftermarket skid but never got to it.
I built this Samurai to be a clean daily driven samurai. I never actually got to drive it besides going up and down the road in front of my house. I am selling because of receiving a job out of state. Since I don't have room where I am going, I am forced to sell. This began as a nice Samurai and is one of the nicest I have seen in a long time. Hard Tops generally are harder to find, and in great shape even harder. This one should provide many years of use as pretty much everything has been done to it. It's basically collecting dust when it could be to a home where someone gets to use and appreciate it.
Note: I replaced the lug nuts so that they were all nice and matching. They are splined and the lug key will be included with it.Vehicle is located in Provo, Utah, 1 hour south of Salt Lake City. Can provide assistance with loading on truck if needed.

I'm sorry, I input the wrong vin, the beginning of the vin is JS4JC51VXH4115449 not JS41C51VXH4115449. The J looks like a 1, so I confirmed with the title, the 4th digit truly is a "J”.
