My "NEW" Samurai

[t_long927]

Ok guys so this is it. This will serve as my official build thread on my Sami.

So far it has a 1.6 in it with stock gears, t case, and a lincoln in the rear to lock it up. and it has a 4 inch SPOA lift which is going to be thrown out for a 6 in spoa with YJ springs. Motor work is in the near future as well. Possibly go either Gas FI or Diesel FI, just not too sure which one. Also within the next month I will be cutting up the top on the rear of the rig and taking it from SUV to little itty bitty beefy man truck with a full Roll cage. You all have heard by now that I rolled it. And without a cage or even a bar it held up pretty good.

Oh yeah and Tires. Gonna buy a set of 31x10.50's for now and see how it does and then maybe, after some 5.12 gears and some t case work, step up to 33s or 35s. Dunno just getting out the paper and starting to write down how I want it to look. I will post up any new ideas and Mods as we go.

Oh yeah BTW I will be doing a 3 inch lift and tires after christmas, on the ZJ. Really just for looks. So when I go to the meet and greets I',m riding in something a little bit respectable. LOL


P.S. Moderators and Admin, If I posted this in the wrong area please aim me in the right direction.

I've got a buyer for the 1.6 when you're ready for your motor swap.
