Last Spring I acquired my first Samurai after trading some work on a buddies buggy. I know nothing about these things, but have always liked the size and simplicity. Supposedly, its an '88 and I got it with a blown head gasket. It came with everything I needed to put it back together, but unfortunately when reassembly started I noticed the cam was trash. Bought the cheapest cam off ebay, bolted up the certified machine 3k carb, changed fluids, and started using it!
Buggy I worked on
How I received the rig. 32x9.5 nittos, open/open, stock r&p, power steering, lift springs (Old Man Emu), and I believe 4:1 tcase gears.
Started in on some light mods over the summer while trying to put as little money into it as possible. Two of the nittos were pretty worn so found some coyote's on FB for cheap to throw on.
Quick and easy kick panel/rocker protection to cover up the holes mostly.
Scrap metal bumper and a 6k utv winch
Only other mod I've done is I welded the rear end for cheap traction and threw on a set of 1" wheel spacers. Trying to keep it small and street able the best I can. Definitely gutless, but absolutely love this little thing!
