Haven't had a chance to do much to the Samurai. But I did order some tires last month that finally came in. Hopefully putting them on tomorrow.

I might have to check this out. My wife is from GJ and her parents still live there.

Really not sure but it looks like someone parked something else already. I probably can reach out to the new owners but that'd require motivation I don't currently have. Thanks for the advice though....

Great thread so far! Looking forward to see how the build turns out.

Thanks! Yeah. I'm planning on heading out to the Easter Jeep Safari again this year. My family has made that a yearly tradition. I love driving my Samurai around at a Jeep event. (I've got tons of...

It is! I just need to change the T-Case fluid and top off the power steering fluid.

Yeah. I think I'll even need to push the front axle forward another inch to get a better angle on the front drive shaft. I think its fairly common to stretch the front quite a bit.


Other things...

Hose Works made the power steering hose and even brazed new fittings for me for the power steering in my Samurai. They also made my brake lines for my Samurai's rear axle. Great service!
I've...

I'll see if I can get the old images working soon but in the meantime I'll give a run down of what I've done to the Samurai since my last updates. Glad to be back on this forum!

I managed to come...

One Year Later: Still haven't done the other side. I've done tons of other stuff in the meantime but not the fender. I'm getting serious this year. I picked up a millermatic 211 and intend to make...

Any update? Glad to see another Samurai.

I sprayed some adhesion promoter on the bare metal parts and rolled on the raptor liner. I couldn't be happier with the results and I can't wait to get the other side done.

Finally I said screw it.
I picked up some trailer fenders from the trailer supply store in town. I'd go with the virtual lift route.

Another update!


After MOAB my brakes started grinding pretty bad. This was out of nowhere but not completely unexpected since I have not had to do the brakes since I bought the Samurai in 2015....

With the roof rack mounted it was time to get packing. Like last year we took the car as well. So we were able to split all the gear between the two vehicles.


With the vehicles packed we headed...

I've got a bit of an update. I was very tentative about going to Easter Jeep Safari this year but I wanted to get some things done just in case.






I was never satisfied with the way I...

edit: Sorry for the wrong post.

Looking Good! I like the dual swingout on the tire carrier.

I'm not really sure. I was lucky enough that someone gave me some new transmission bearings back in August. Though when it comes to tearing into stuff that deep I'm a complete noob. Someone was...

My daughter also helped me remove the seats this time around. Afterwards she hung around to play on my phone and keep me from taking pictures.

I've been battling road noise in the Samurai. I thought that getting the hard top would get the noise down to what I'd consider a reasonable level for the road trips I take with the family.

Welcome to the group!

Haven't really gotten much done. The new job keeps me pretty occupied. As well as my 10 month old son and 4yr old daughter.


I noticed some cracks under the passenger seat starting to form a...

Thanks Jim! I'll give that a try!

With the rear piece of the top mounted I had to figure out the mounting for the rear glass. Now this is the most retarded setup I've seen from a hard top company. At least rally tops has some...
