Hey again not been here in a while. A bunch has changed had a tin top for abit but I've rebuilt and have started again on my samurai.
Now running 33x13.50x15 mudzillas, 2" inch springs all round with standard shackles, box section will, rock lobster, welded rear diff, 1.6 8v injection, roll cage and currently in the middle of my front virtual lift.

Some quick pictures I'll dig out the photos from the cage build and get another post up soon.
Looking abit rough

Found the cage pictures. It's welded to body and chassis so i won't be able to get the body off but I'm okay with that 😂

This was all done in January 2018.

At the same time as I was switching to 8v injection.
Well getting round to splicing the looms and making the led headlights work.

Who did the cage ?
It looks superb. The welding looks spectacular. Work of art.

Also finally made a decent battery mount to take a primera battery. Got a few of them about. And added a kill switch for the winch.

Went to get the tracking done but the guy in the garage wasnt up to it cam out with the steering wheel street but both wheels toeing out. Just redid it myself with a measuring tape.

Also decided I better get the snorkle sorted for the weekend.
Made it from a boiler plume kit and some intercooler hoses and clamps.
