I just saved up enough green to order steering and other stuff to finish the front axle.. Hopefully ill be able to get the engine/trans mounted soon so i can set the body back on it.. Then its gonna be fun times!!!

 

Update:

Quit my job in May, sat at the house goofing off for 8 weeks or so. Workin again so i been doin a lil at a time on the Sami.

Got new perches for the rear so i can change the rear pinion angle. Got ford shock towers for the front and new seals and rockrings for the front knuckles.
Gonna be off tom so maybe i can get the fuel lines and such ran before i start working on making the body fit. Then its game one! I have been surfin craigslist and scrounged up some tires and stuff. Ill have plenty extra tires to make some good burnout videos
So far ive got 8 285/75/16 tires that have a lil tread. 4 31x12.5-15 boggers on wheels that have a lil life in them. Total money spent $160 haha. Might even can get some pics tom.

 

Its coming together nicely. Also i think this thing is gonna have to easiest access to spark plugs than anything ive worked on.





Intake right inside the cab.

 

I take it that means you will be making the front end into one piece and removable? Sarcasm but might be a damn good idea!

 

Na actually all the plugs are easily accessable thru the fender well.
So far everything has been somewhat simple and straight forward.

Finished the 4" body lift today and gotta get a torque converter and ill be able to bolt everything in for good. Started on the exhaust tonight.

 

Hydroboost in the samurai!
This thing should stop on a dime!!

 

This is awesome buddy!! Looking forward to the inevitable stupid things you do with it!

 

Like 4wd burnouts with nitrous??

 

This is a kool *** build looks like its gunna be a **** load of fun

 

I was thinking more along the lines of that youtube video of the guy that got airborn in that Samurai in the woods. If Youtube wasn't blocked at work I'd link it to ya but I'm sure you've seen it!!
