1987 samurai build up (lots of pixs)
« on: March 26, 2011, 01:56:08 PM »
Hi this is my first time posting on a forum  :)
I resiliently bought a 1987 samurai for a build up its manly stock with a spring over and Z-links steering bar
and 33s my first step was a off-road bumper and a snorkel on the cheep lol
the bumper was free (except welding wire) and the snorkel was $10
let me know what you think?
thanks Kieron.

I missed some pics
and the air ram was a gas tank off a lawn mower flipped on its side trimmed and cut on an angel

I recognize that axle issue.  I ended up sleeving the rear axle tubes to make sure it wouldn't happen again.  But a Traction bar would also fix it.  :)

SJ-410 grill on the front, a nice bonus.  Clean looking rig!

I found out this 1987 Samurai used to be a tin top that was rolled so now it's a hard top convertible with a 83 front clip.
I'm loving this truck more and more every day :)

nice I was wondering why you had a tintop tailgate but knowing it use to be a tin top gets rid of questions. Have you found cables for the tailgate? not sure what I will use yet for mine.

I haven't found any thing to hold up the tail gate yet
I still haft to build a back dumper so I might just let it rest on some rubier???
This is what I did today.
the back seat in my Samurai was shot so I cut it up and build a tire/tool mount that can be removed.

For the latches what about using a setup similar to the SJ-410 pickup, the Luv and old Couriers?
