picked up this samurai today for $500. after washing it and alot of wax....i was suprized at how good the paint looks. it had been sitting for a while. plans are to build it in to a stricktly off-road rig. on to the pics

when i first saw it....




after geting it home and washing it.




and some wax



still has alot of little detail painting to do.

 

badass! those things are really capable

 

Should be a good project! What are the plans?

 

Awesome!!!!!

 

good job with it already!

im kinda jelous...my friend has one...those damn things really do go everywhere..just kinda tippy.

anyways, yota axles, 35's, low range tcase, lockers.....and your set.

 

sweet, put some nice meaty tires on that beast and some black wheels!

 

awesome, my uncle had one of those and they do very well offroad

 

nice! Im with Randy on this one, a few things and you wont be able to stop it

 

throw a 350 in it

 

not a smart idea... ik a guy who used to have one and he said 4 cyl with the right gears are just find. he said if you put a big v8 in it all you do is turn it into a speed machine and start breakin **** bc of the power. especially with crawling and stuff. 4 cyl and gears is all that you need bc those things are torqy

 

Nice! Take the doors off!

 

Those things are awesome

 

You waxed it? Hmm. I say coat the whole thing in spray on bed liner.

 

No.

Put something like like a 4.3 v6. Or a lighter weight 3.1/3.8 v6. Parts for those are everywhere. And they have all the low end torque that sucker will every need.

 

i know, it was a joke.
i saw one on craigslist a few weeks back that had a 350 in it and i thought it was funny

 

Looks good!

 

nice. and it has my rims! lol

 

do propane on it or do a sidekick engine in it if you do anything. yota axles 5.29s and a 4:1 box and it will crawl good on 35s. also jeep yj sprins are good for the lift and are easy since the shackle is front mount.
