Before buying my first mini, I used this Forum for almost all of my homework. Excellent resource. I'm now working to finish her up. For now, it's a '92 Suzuki Carry DD51T with round headlights. Stock F6A with 62,000km on the clock. 4x4 with 4-speed and axle lock. Modifications: minor rust repair and full body-on color change paint (Ford grey). re-upholstered seats. Lifted. Running 14" wheels and tires. Metal wheel opening extensions welded in before paint to accommodate wider tires. LED side marker lights. 48" x 6'6" "woody" bed mat. Upcoming work: limo tint back and side windows, Monroe shocks, further sound-proofing, dash install CB radio, custom mud flaps, and custom folding side rails. I may covert the tail and head lights to LED, still thinking about that one. Anyway, thanks again to this forum for the invaluable information gained during my search for, and modifying my mini.
Yours looks really clean. First thing I did with mine was install some aluminum traction plate on the inside of the bedsides and the tailgate. That way things don’t slide into and ding them up. (Lesson learned on my 77 Toyota pickup, which also had single wall bed sides.) If you add the LED lights you might run into a problem with the headlights wired as a ground switched system. If you install LEDs for the turn signals, they will blink too fast. The solution I found was an “adjustable turn signal flasher”. They cost about $10 on Amazon. I drilled a hole through the dash for the stem to come out of, and mounted the flasher to the back of the dash with double stick tape, and ran jumper wires from the flasher to the location of the stock one at the fuse panel. It has been really convenient. As I take my light bar on and off, or hook up a trailer, I can just adjust the flash rate from the drivers seat.
Whom did you go through in the Pacific Northwest for your rig? Couple of shops in north Seattle, but the best pricing seems to still be down in Portland. Washington's DMV can be tricky to deal with for unusual vehicles- I've had to deal with it with Cushmans and an Interceptor so far.
Very clean looking Suzuki my friend. Just got my Suzuki carry cat eye (Beige) . cant wait to set mine up. Hopefully will post my Suzuki once it is done.
