samurai build

[Bobbyp.]

finally getting around to working again, its a 88 samurai with 6 inches of suspension and 3 inches of body lift. 1.3 bored .020 over with a isky torque'r cam. overall its in decent condition. its defiantly had its share of redneck engineering but im sorting that out 1 thing at a time.

my parts list consist of:
a set of dana 44's with the offset rear.
gears and lockers for front and rear
custom bumper built just not installed yet.
custom driveshafts
yj springs all around
smitty built 8000# winch

ill add more as i go through it all im just now getting time to work on it so im having to gather up all my parts. my goal is to have it ready for the spring jamboree 2014 but we will see how that goes. heres a pic of when i brought it home, ill get more up later tonight!!!

It is good to see another Sami owner and build on this site. I'd ditch the body lift though.

Definitely some rednecj engineering going on! Looks like a solid platform and a clean body. Nice to see another zuk build.

So awesome to see this on here I owned this years ago those yokohomas have been on there for like 5 years when I got it ur had that funky body lift on it already and didn't run cuz some dude ran it through a mud hole with no gas kap n it so if ur wondering why I wast ran on the hard line and it was ran on a rubber line that's shy haha it's awesome to c a old rig of mine

the yokohamas are new thats on it now. it had a set but they were slick and flat so i bought a new set,. as far as everything else the engines been swapped but everything else is pretty much the same. i bought the whole thing for less than what i got in the tires lol. i wanted something cheap so i could completely tear it down and rebuild it. its def. seen its better days but thats what i was looking for when i bought it. the transfer case is done. i took it down in the bottoms at the farm and ended up tearing 2wd out of it so im looking for a cheap tcase for it to get it back on the trails. so far i have fixed all fuel lines, new fuel cell, built a fuel cell skid plate and fixed all the wiring that looked like a rats nest.i got a new set of brake lines and everything to do once i swap the axles. once i get the axles under it and the body lift removed then im going to move on to body work and it will pretty much be ready for the trails. then i can just fix little things here and there as i go.
