Too poor to afford a Tacoma so I bought a Samurai

Can't see images you posted in your most recent reply @TundraLivesMatter4.7

 

Hopefully y’all can see these….

 

I agree, when Im driving it I just can't help but smile. The sami is just too fun.

 

Nice trailer, I need to find me one. That drum wasn't far from coming off

 

Life has been busy for me lately so the Samurai has been put on the back burner for a bit. I recently got around to start working on it again as I’m preparing to take it out to windrock in January.

About a month ago me and @Justinogo went up to Indiana to pickup some Toyota axles. Gonna start acquiring parts to rebuild them and swap them into the samurai.

 

Changed the steering set up on the samurai.

Getting ride of the Prius set up and switching it out for a hydraulic steering system. Ended up going with a Volvo electric power steering pump. Paired with a controller kit which allows me to control the speed of the pump. I’m interested to see how this works as I haven’t seen many people try this. I also swapped the steering box for a power steering box out of 96 sidekick.

 

Windrock 2024: Samurai did great no issues and the new power steering worked perfectly

I didn’t get many pictures but I did put together a YouTube video of some wheeling clips

Voiceover or narration is the next talent you're gonna learn!

 

This is awesome! Sub'd because I love Samurais!

 

I’d love it if we could get Jimneys here.

 

Seen a few running around Texas. Not sure if they're registered in Mexico (probably)

 

Probably. If I ever move to Taiwan with my wife, that’s on my short list.

 

Your Samurai expert is right down near Cullman, AL - Link

I had two. One in Guam and another in Hawaii. Kick myself in the ass for trading them in or selling the second one (said same thing about trading in my Grandfathers 1959 Chevrolet Apache pickup). We used Corolla springs in the front and shackles were made to lift the back. There were still abandoned WWII tanks in the area we offroaded on Guam.

 

Someone local to me is rolling in this..

 

I do really like his build and have been following it for awhile now.

Those rigs are sweet! The samurai is an awesome platform and I never plan on selling mine.

 

Hey look it's @Thatbassguy s brother from a different mother!

 

That was a nice Suzuki

 

Can confirm this tank is still there.

 

Wow, very cool. I was at NAS Agana in 80-83, lived in Mangilao.
