    Age doesn’t always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.

    Already planning to install the other pile of parts I have, mainly to improve reliability. Also cutting off those stupid nerf bars from the PO...

    Pics are from a beach run the other day...

    I love these little Sami's. As my dad would say (about me), "not too slow, not too fast. Just half-fast."
    Hey Riptide,

    Is there any way I can talk you into selling that Samurai to me if you decide to get a Tin Top? Also, do you have any pics of the interior? The seats look immaculate in those photos.

    Well, it won't be anytime soon. I did end up buying a tintop, sort of. I finally got a rust-free, dent-free tintop body, to go with another Samurai that I bought last fall. Everything is sitting at a friend's place, in his barn, waiting for me to assemble it. But it'll probably be awhile. In the meantime, I've also got a nice VW 1.6TD for it that I'm also accumulating parts for, to drop into this tintop. A little here, a little there. For me, half the fun is spec'ing something out, and then hunting it down...

    Meanwhile, my 1995 Sami puts a smile on my face every time. The interior is actually in excellent shape. Thanks for the compliments!

    Realy nice Zuks

    New here on this forum;
    I'm from Denmark, me and my girlfriend has used our '90 Samurai to travel around Europe; Denmark, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine and others - it has been very reliable and people allways smile when they see the little 4x4

    Its fittet with 235/75-15, OME suspension, ARB bullbar, Warn 8274, Rollcage, Terratrip, 4,16 transfercase, homemade rooftent and lots of other mods.





    Now we are in the process of building a larger rig, a Volvo TGB 13 (c304) 6x6:


    You can follow the build here: http://tgb13.raredog.dk/
    Later the blog will be a travelblog, hope to get the car finished by the end of June

    It going to be a lot different to travel in such a large vehicle, i'm afraid we are going to miss the cosy small cabin and the easy of driving a small car in terrain, but looking forward to sleep inside

    Alright Raredog, you MUST post more pictures of the Sami. Great photography!!

    That Pull-Pal strapped to the ARB up front probably helps equalize the load, huh?
