    Well since it's SWB K-10 or internationals probably wouldn't fit in...

    I think SWB is <90 wheel base...

    And I don't think the X90 has a low range gear box... But they are fun cars!

    Yes, the Suzuki X-90 is a true 4x4 with a Hi/Lo range X-fer case. They were available in manual or automatic. The X-90 is just as rare as the VX, and was made only 3 years 1996, 1997, 1998 (just like the VX was made only 3 years). The 1998 X-90 (USA Model) had a production of only 412 units!!!

    When my little econo-box commuter car dies, I'm buying a 1998 Suzuki X-90. I almost bought an X-90 last month, but was a day late answering the ad. With traditional four wheel drive (2x4/4x4 Hi/Lo X-fer case), they will go anywhere, and get almost 30 MPG!!!

    There's one for sale on a garage lot down the street for me. Have to inquire within about a price, but I'm betting it's less than $500.

    NICE!!

    I honestly didn't know it had the low range box... That's crazy... I've always been a fan of the X90, I bet 250 of them were purchased by redbull for promo cars

    They pop up often around here.

    I have always loved Suzukis, and really wish they would bring the jimmy here The first time I saw a Jimmy was in Costa Rica, and my jaw literally dropped...

    Thanks for all the input. Lots of good stuff here, despite getting away from my criteria a little bit. If I get really bored again today, I will do a proper update...
