Title: My new Samurai.
Post by: maherbeemer on March 29, 2012, 09:45:52 AM
Hello Everyone; thought of sharing my Samurai, but I am a newbie the only bad thing I didn't like is that there is no AC other than that I love the look of this car....Just wanted to ask what are the tire sizes I can install on the stock rims and stock suspension.  Any ideas of what I can add to this car? was thinking of adding a roof rack and some lights on the roof and maybe a snorkel.

Let me know what you guys think.

Lowrangeoffroad.com is a great place to look. And eBay is a good way to find things. Stock suspension won't fit much of a tire but if you lift it a little you to an squeeze some under it.. that thing looks awesome! I wish mine was that clean. But yea I'd start with a lift, personally I went 1.5" but I think 3" would be nice, but then I'd have steering problems and have to pay to fix that. It's all really bases on what you need out of it. And I've learned it doesn't take much, mine is super capable and probably the smallest rig on here

I ain't going that extreme, I am located in Germany but will be taking it down to Libya  ;D for a work mission so its gonna be alot of fun in a rugged train; what I am thinking of adding is mud flaps roof rack and lights and nice all terrain tires from bf goodrich, can any of you post a pic of how the samurai looks like with 235/75/15 and if possible 215/75/15, just need to know the sizes I can stick on it by keeping it stock, because the stock height of the car is pretty good.  The model is a 96

My 87 with 225/70R16 BFG A/T KO tires, that's stock suspension and needed some trimming to prevent that, it's now lifted 1.5" and this makes it fit better.

Nice TT.
 If your not into trimming sheet metal run the 215 s.
You can get away with a roof rack on your Zuke, as long as you don't overload it.Think stability....
If you want offroad lighting run LED s .Yes they cost more , but your little alternator will thank you for it....Boxcar...

you will loose quite a bit of gas milage with a roof rack.  but if that isn't a concern then by all means put one on.

WOW!  that thing looks fresh off the show room floor!  If you have the room and funds, I'd say leave that one bone stock and as clean as a whistle as is.  Go find another project Sammi and start building.  The thing is, once you start modding one its addictive and one mod leads to another and so on... it would be a shame to see that pristine example of a TT modded too much...  very nice rig!

Very nice... I would just drive that dude and take care of it. You will soon learn that yours is different already because it loooks to be sooo OEM. That in itself make it worth a nice bunch of coin.
