I've been driving with the hard top all this week. Sure was a battle getting here and it looks like we're starting to get some more snow now here in Colorado.


Being that I was able to get the...

Mostly it's all family time.
Hard to find time to work on the Samurai.

On a side note. I've finally got all new tires on the Samurai. 215/75R15's. BFG All Terrains KO2's.
Had to break down and...

Thanks! I'm doing maintenance at the Amazon building in Aurora. Better Pay. More Days Off.

Haven't had much time to work on the Samurai. Started a new job recently and my daughter just started school... Priorities.


Some good news though. Someone was throwing away a two piece hard...

I hear you. We're really making a big push to get out and camp this summer. We spent last summer buying and gathering gear, this summer we're dead set on using it.

After doing some camping and fishing and meeting back up with my dad and grandma we headed back home to Colorado. About 20 minutes outside of Las Vegas, New Mexico we ran into trouble with the...

I got a welder for Fathers day from Abby and decided to start putting it to use. I finally got handles welded to the retaining nut on the tire carrier....

I used some HDPE (cutting board material from the tailgate table project) to make some mounts for the Sidekick Fuse Block, fan controller and the ARB Compressor Relay.

I had been hearing a rattle for a while and I thought I narrowed it down to my fan clutch going bad. I wasn't experiencing any overheating or anything but I decided to swap out my fan in favor of an...

Thanks Guys!

Well I've been getting a little work done.

I've got the base for the bumper project welded.

The Samurai had some brackets on the front of the frame already. For Recovery or tying it down on the...

Thanks Everyone!

I guess the next thing I'll move on is the front bumper project.

With the Samurai back on Daily Driver Duty it'll be hard to get some of the other things I want done finished.

I forgot to give you all an update on the rear bumper reverse lights! I got these done before I went to Moab.

I started by removing the bumper from the Samurai and removing the tail lights.
...

Thanks! Yeah. The accident was very unfortunate but I'm just glad we're all ok.

Thanks Heather!

My mother in-law offered to drive our camping gear down in her truck on Monday and after buying a new car seat for our son (I had one in the Samurai for my daughter) we loaded both kids in the...

We ended up camping at Kane Creek campground just outside of Moab.

I'll try to catch you all up. I didn't really do much to the Samurai since the last post. I installed a new oxygen sensor since it was supposed to be replaced at 80k and this engine had 140k when I...

Thanks Xaza.

I'll be heading out of Denver on the 12th next month.

The sliding mechanism was still in the way so I added some spacers anyway.

One of the previous owners insisted on the seat lift for the...

I've gotten a lot of stuff done on the Samurai recently.
Early this year I solved my windshield washer fluid sprayer problem. I had accidentally smashed the hose when I removed the windshield frame...

Yeah. I'll be out there to run Secret Spire and Chicken Corners with the Easter Jeep Safari in my blasphemous Suzuki Samurai on the 14th and 15th. Not sure where I'm camping yet.

Been about 1k miles after cleaning some of the EGR passages. I didn't think I cleaned them all that well but the code hasn't come back.

I signed up and paid for two easy trails at the Easter Jeep...

Awesome Trip! I've been wanting to go dog sledding ever since watching The Toughest Race.

Music-wise I listen to older black metal. But honestly I tend to listen to a ton of the podcasts.
