First Trail Carnage with Samurai

[Officer_Hood]

Took the dog out for a non technical wheeling trip that got a little technical. I can never resist the temptation!

What did the dog think about it? Looks really tippy.

What was the fluid and chunk of whatever left behind? Hope the Sami is alright.

don't break it all in one week but must be cool to be able to just push it back over from its side ... doubt I could do that with mine

Next time you'll get it. What's the old adage? If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!!!!!!!

The Samurai is cool. I love those little beasts. One day I'll get another one to make a buggy out of.

I got much better video the following day, since my son was with me. We flopped it on it's side! Here is the link to those videos: http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/...lla-quot-Trail

VW Diesel swap, 3-link front, 4-link rear, Toyota axles, 35's, and a 103" WB is what I want on a samurai. It'll all work perfectly in my head.

Im gonna go with the 1.6 16v, 3spd auto and around 100" WB with Scout 44 axles on my 86 convertible sammi. I have a 87 TinTop that I have a 6" SPOA,6.5:1 T-Case (with a "snatch" cradle), 1.6 16v, on 32's that I use as my DD. As for my buggy I have the axles and will probably go with the TrailTough coil/link set up. Still looking for a Tracker with the 1.6 and 3sp. I lucked out with the engine for my TT. I bought a wrecked 94 Sidekick, and we ended up selling around 1300.00 in parts off of it (only paid 550.00 for it to begin with). The best part of these things is how simple they are.

Looks like some beadlocks may be in store for you if you keep going on those non-technical runs.
