well i am thinking of buying a rig to pull behind my grand instead of modifing it but i dont know want i want to get i like cj 5s and i love fj 40s but i have heard that samis are beast and cheap but i think they are ugly
 
I would like to know where they are also..
 
a sami would be a lot lighter. parts are pretty cheap. Cruiser are HEAVY behind a grand
 
Zuks are cheaper of the three and lighter.
With the right gearing and upgrades they are great.
:driver:
 
Guess what my opinion is?
 
Zuks are fine rigs.I just like the jeep deal because most AMC era stuff,motors etc,swap easily.Aftermarket support is strong for both though.
 
sami they are cheap to build and don't make much pwr to break much stock. You can beat them like a redheaded step child with 32's and the only breaks are ususally tcase arms and rear springs, ask me how I know... Cheap to fix those two problems though and mine stripped weighs in around 1700 pds. With 6.5 tcase gears, birf rings, tcase arms, shifter fixes, rebuilt carb, seats, spring over, hydro steering and buying the sami I've got around 2 grand in it. CHEAP, LIGHT, TOUGH

i just dont understand the jeep thing. Seems like a MeToo type 4x4. everyone and his 16 year old brother has one.
 
Sammi. Not as cheap as they used to be but you can build a mild one for price of entry level of a CJ. Light and very small. Tough and extremely capable.
 
x11 on the Sammy. They're not my style, but they fawkin work, and damn near stock toyota axles are Rockwells for them.

Nothing for a FJ40 is cheap, including the vehicle.
 
I vote for the Sami too. I almost got one but the price just wasn't quite right for me.
Damn do I miss my old CJ5 and FJ40 though :-/
