88 or 88 1/2?
« on: September 02, 2005, 05:40:44 AM »
I bought what I was told to be an 88 sami; How can I tell for certain if it's an 88 or 88 1/2?

yep, go by the round or square vents.  Don't go by the mfr. date on the vin tag.  I've seen 2 Samurai's with build dates of 2/88 and 5/88 and they were both square vents (88.5s). go figure????
