Hey everyone.

Current rigs :1983 tintop suzuki SJ410 (locked rear, 4 inch suspension lift) , 1988 Suzuki Samurai (heavily modified)


The old samurai is almost ready to take out on some trails,  I'm looking forward to join in on some events and shred some trails. Cheers :beer:

Hey 4wd...

Welcome aboard.  :beerchug:

Sammies.... there were 2 Sammies in our club.

They both were well set up for rock crawling and did really well.

They were always fun to watch on the trails because they are a little tippy. :yikes:

They were always good at squeezing by tight spots. :driving:

Gnarls. :usa:

Thanks

Hey 4wd...

Welcome aboard.  :beerchug:

I had originally set it up for SPOA but I nearly flipped it in my backyard on my first test drive and also was having too many issues with steering/ drive line geometry, etc.. and since I also drive it on the street it just made sense to go back SPUA.

currently have about 88:1 final drive/crawl ratio with 31x13.5 tsl's, twin locked, YJ springs and original width sammy axles, but I did upgrade to chromoly 26 spline shafts/birfs in the front, and chromoly shafts in the rear.

Under the bonnet It's got an original 1.3L engine with the 44mm Harley carb / KO3 turbo Kit.


:welcome: 

Samurai's are awesome! I wish there was more of them around.

 :beerchug: hell yeah! they are a lot of fun
