Neat.


Here's my junk. Bit of a project. I picked up a set of Dana 44s out of a Wagoneer early this year, that'll be next after getting the tub back in one piece. After that, I'll need to pick up a 4.3 V6 and a Ford T18.

That sounds like it could be a really fun project. I keep going back and forth what mods I want to go for. I kinda want 33s, but I don't want to make it unusable on freeway. Might stick with the 30s just focus on getting undercarriage armor and rock sliders for now.

Same. I need to find some skidplates and I find a guy here to fab up some sliders. I'm also gonna start saving up for a while ome setup.

Those little Sammys are awesome!

I also like the Dihatsu Rockys...all those little 4x4 things are so cool.

I kinda want to make it non little and lengthen the wheelbase though ha, it does feel sketchy going up and down some hills.

Dirt Everyday on the Motor Trend channel is pretty good too. All of their shows are good really...

I think we talked about that when you got it ;) lol

They are capable and can get into places I cant go with the FZJ, but they have their limits and pucker factor is totally different in a sammy

The biggest thing it has going for it is light weight and its approach/departure/breakover angles. Its amazing how little I have to worry about hitting a rock or scraping the rear.

But yeah its never gotten to that point where I think it could flip, as seen in some of my vids, but it does feel funny.

Those thing are soo cool! Really popular with the off road scene here, is the off road scene getting popular in the states these days? Seems likes it really taking off here loads of people getting jeeps.

Love the samurai, a good friend just bought an 2008 defender short wheelbase and I think I really need one! Around here its just full of defenders, might get a range rover classic once I sell my e28 since I have an itch for off road shenanigans right now..
