I've been wheelin' with some very trick Samurais out in the Sierras - hubby and I used to belong to a Jeep club. We have a '62 CJ-5 he built from the ground up about 15 years ago. It has a Buick 231 V6, TH 350, GM power steering, a custom narrowed Dana 44 up front with a Powertrax and stock Dana 44 in the back with a Lock-right. It also has 4 wheel disc brakes and a shower (essentially a catalytic converter on board the engine compartment that is heated with radiator water). It has a hose attachment for a bucket of water or a nearby stream and you are set to go. We even built a PVC pipe shower booth for folks and charged them a buck a shower for gas! Very popular on the trail. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) This year for a Christmas/anniversary present, today, (22 years!) I gave hubby a home theater. He put it together himself and got the "battlestation" operational about two days ago. Everyone should have one of these!

No El-Use-O. Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,368 Joined: 27-December 03 From: SW Michigan Member No.: 52	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.
