Finally have an SJ

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Finally have an SJ

Post by AshR1 » Tue Apr 01, 2014 7:40 pm

After about a year of looking and wanting one, I've finally bought myself an SJ, got a Samurai, needs a bit of work and not the tidiest of examples but I'm happy with it. Broke it already though, pulled the handle off the door haha :hahaha: :er: Going to be a good project though :D

Looks good! :)
There's three ways of doing things,
1) The Right Way,
2) The Wrong Way
3) My Way.
2 & 3 are usually the same.

Nice! You're not going to regret owning those tyres either.

Thats a very tidy motor that you have,must admit those tyres do look rather good,doubt that you will have much trouble with those in the mud.
