I just traded around with a buddy of mine and ended up with a 88 Sammy for trade for my sand rail. So far I have had nothing but good experiences with it(2 days) and have only gotten it stuck once(one of the vids).

I have done the basic tune up(all fluids lines and such changed), and it is by far the esiest and most fun thing to work on that I have owned in the past years and goes places that my sand rail would not and the sammy is on bald tires and has a slipping clutch so I am super ecstatic about the lil truck that could.

I got this as a toy and it will be treated as such, but with respect as a big toy. I am getting ready to order the SOPA kit from RRO and Calmini C5 front and the swing away rear bumper. Still trying to choose a good tire and wheel combo that suits just about any terrain of West Virginia that I may come across.

You guys know anything about these. Its got a few pops and cracks and I think a bad u joint and I know a bad front axel that I need to fix.

I know a guy that put a turbo 13b in one, said it was absolutely unstoppable and the most fun ever.

I always liked the sammys. Who was talking in the vid? You or your buddy? Your buddy sounds like a guy I know.

That beautiful redneck voice you here is mine. I got all excited and let the hick in me slip out.

You know, I'm tempted soon to buy one of those little terds for a beater. I'm sure they are pretty good on gas mileage and are decent in winter driving.

they are better with a little money thrown at em. If you get the suspension where it should be and at least put a rear locker in it they are pretty damn good. I just prefer either a jeep or an old toyota for a base as a beater, simply because you are starting from the beginning with better components.

I don't think i'd really go offroad, just need something with 4WD for those bad winter days.

I needs me some ARB air lockers.

Actually, far from. However, I do work in the city, but I walk to and from the train station. Right now my RX-7 is simply my weekend car, although I do need to on weekends do grocery shopping, visit family, go to a friends house et cetera. I would get something else to use in the winter where the weather is just too bad to drive an RX-7 in do do my weekend activities.

trackers/sidekicks/samurais = awesome.


too bad up here they all rusted away :(

so I bought a DSM and pretend it's a jeep, hey, it's 4wd isn't it!

Man, my jeep is totally your suzuki's daddy. I just changed out my locker for an aussie locker and upgraded my driveshaft. Loud as piss. I'm a mickey thompson dealer if you find anything you like from them.

I will keep that in mind. I Got a set of Mud Terrains for free from a friend that should hold me over until I get the YJ SOA kit then I will start sizing what type of tire I will need

I accualy just got done placing my order for some. And I have been working on pulling up the carpet and all the seats out so I can get it prepped.

Forget about that crap, I recommend you move to a normal state where they don't build houses on the side of Mt Everest.

What that little hill i,ve seen houses built on hills way way steeper than that, in states such as colorado, and south carolina.

Stretch out a new top?

No not for a new top. The one that is on the zuki right now shrunk in the 4-5 years it sat in a garage. The first problem was the fact that the rear bow was to long and somehow they got the top on and buttoned up, but after I fixed the problem(after the 2 hours it took me to get all the buttons undone and latches unsiezed) we cannot get the top to go back on at all.

Update

THe sammy is now no where near street legal.

I am waiting on the delivery of my ZOR front and rear bumpers, and sapre tire carrier. I am in the process of installing a trail tough YJ kit, yota axels, kick motor, and trans with lower gears in the kick case which is going to be run into a geared yota case.

I want the sammy to be ready for tellaco next spring when the local jeep/4x4 chapter is takng a trip to tellaco.

I saw a sammy broken down on the side of the freeway yesterday and thought of you :P

Aww how sweet. Wait since when do sammys break.

That one certainly was :P

good chice with the yota axles, and avoid the ARBs imo. They are too spendy and the seals and air lins leak often. Leaks = no locker and a spendy rebuild.

Good find.

I had a really clean tin top for a couple months. It was fun.

Still looks better in my pics covered in mud with no top or doors lol

post them

Someone buy mine I need a daily driver while I do the 13b-re swap.

The couch outside with the tire on it is a nice addition. It just kicks the white trash flair up a few notches.
