Me too! Where do you go wheeling the most? This is Shaver Lake outside of Fresno up in the mountains. The lake is up and these rocks are under water about 20' now. Very fun play rocks.
Needing to rebuild the tranny, transfercase, and replace bearings and birf seals in the axles it hasnt done much other than sit in the garage for the past while.. Been too busy with life to get out much.
I know what you mean by busy, I have a 16 month old daugther and a 3 year old daughter and help run the corp from home I'm thinking about selling the jeep to buy a family 4runner and then build a formula toy with the rest of the cash. I would really love to have a buggy I could bash the shit out of not care at all.
hehe.. i agree but my samurai has been around the block too many times to get rid of.. 3 suspension designs later a couple motors later.. countless tranny's and transfer cases' Its pretty much bullet proof at the moment except for wear issues and bearings going bad from buying cheap chit..
Those samurais are fun little things, the Jap ones came with the turbo 3 in them, with the boost bumped up to around 14 pounds they work pretty good. I 've seen a couple of them around here.
camden made a supercharger for them years ago however only to fit the 1.3's only way to force feed the 1.6 16v is to do a custom turbo setup on a drawthru style webber... too much of a headache. I have been thinking about dropping in a supercharged 3.8ltr buick motor though
