Re: Samurai Remodelling
On a seperate note, is this a sign from above, has a name be given? I think the powers that be may have spoken.

Re: Samurai Remodelling
As I changed the plan from a pickup to a tray back I have now started to weld up the back of the cab to some kind of standard. The welding is functional if nothing else. I personally don't think the pictures do it justice. Just think large sea gull with the runs. As the door is not full width I've u...

Re: a-frame
Keys in, steering lock off and it will track / self steer behind you. Dead easy to tow impossible to reverse. Make sure if u have free wheel hubs they are free, gearbox and transfer box in neutral. I have read if you're going any distance its best to take the props off to prevent windup but ive neve...

Re: a-frame
I would love to post some pics and measurements however the a-frame is at my dads with the SJ. Its basically a triangle of 2" tube with bracing and a tow hitch. The end that goes onto the SJ fits between the bull bar up rights and I drilled two large holes in the bull bar. Had a long 3/4" ...

Re: Samurai Remodelling
Heres some piccys off the sills. These are with out a doubt the most heavy duty sills I have ever seen. They are made from 100mm x 50mm x 3mm section, two lengths welded together so it has a 6mm internal wall. I'm hoping these are gonna be pretty much indestructable. Superb jacking points and have a...

Re: a-frame
Not sure on that double articulated theory kev. Fair grounds are limited as they have 2 trailers. The double articulation makes no difference as long as its only one trailer. Other wise it would mean wagon and drags could only go 40mph. Its just like pulling a trailer with a front dolly (talking tru...

Re: Removing shackle, body and SPOA lifts
Body lift and shackles are just a matter of bolts. SPOA is grinding and welding. If the original saddles have been removed you'd have to fabricate new. Id also recommend new springs as SPOA can turn standard spring to spagetti over a prolonged period of time. Its not major work but at the same not f...

I spoke with a mate who works with hydraulics and he reckons it will be possble to make quick release...
