But seriously for a rust free well modded 'Zuk ... 6K is a nice price.

Flat fender Willys are getting scarce and expensive. Samurais are the modern version of them. Small, light, and uncomplicated.

and I can't imagine going with this instead. The killer for me is no roll cage. This thing needs a roll cage and without it I can't see paying $6k at all.

As someone who has driven Samurais for 16 years, I have lived to tell (and RAVE!) about them. I wouldn't trade a Samurai for any Jeep. And contrary to what those who've never sat in one have said, my 6'3" 275lb body has more room than most other vehicles. So don't knock the vehicle if you know nothing about it.
This Samurai's mods alone are well worth the $6000. The solid chassis and clean body make this one a very good buy. If you don't have a need for a proper off-road 4x4, then look elsewhere - but for exceptional off-road performance with awesome fuel economy on-road, this Samurai will run circles around any Jeep ever built. Seriously.

(Not mine, uncle in law's and it hasn't moved in 15 months.)

Marginal Nice Price.
And again, Consumer Reports: Choke on Nader's greasy skidmark.

Hey, but this is Jalopnik! We have to resist Consumer Reports ignorance around here. These little suckers were no more likely to flip than a Jeep, and the main thing to remember is that there's no proof that you can flip ANY road car without a tripping event (like leaving the pavement). But people's idea that you can suddenly flip an SUV on the highway is pure ignorance.

Nice enough. Buy it and drive it like you stole it.

As in cheap, slow, lots of fun to ride hard and inherently unstable.
This one, like so many modern tramps, has wandered into crack pipe territory.
As much as I like these, I can pick up a Cherokee for half the price, carry all my gear onto the trail, be less worried about rollovers and get all my replacement parts from pick-n-pull and JC Whitney.
