I bought an 88 Suzuki Samurai in October.
Should be a fun off-road truck.

Probably all I will do at first is a bunch of armor stuff-gas tank, t-case, rock sliders, cage. Swap to 5.14 gears with mini spool in the rear.
Re-do the brakes, new cheap shocks (may even skip this) and get the engine working flawlessly (since getting stranded in the woods would be REALLY bad.

I figure if it's something we like I'll get more radical with it.

AFAIK Sgarnett and Judd are the only ones here that are remotely interested in something like this.

I too have an Se-R, a burgundy (marroon?) '93 that is patiently waiting for me to fix the transmission leak (bad seal around a sensor hopefully) and to slap on the big brake kit that I bought for it. It's going to be next year's race car. If I ever get the Camaro done, of course.
