New to the group. Thought I would say Hi.

Post by Oscar » Wed Mar 08, 2017 1:56 pm

Just thought I would say hi,

I have been looking for a sj for about a year but struggling to find anything / something that's done properly.

Does any one have any suggestion i went too look at a jimny last week but it just not the same.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Define properly done? Are you looking for something original or modified because if you mean the latter then so many different set ups are the "correct" setup in their own eyes, All zuks sold on eBay are going to be either modded to death (99%anyway) or are "original" which just means no mods but probably full of rust, so if you know the setup that you want (again if you want the latter that is) then that would significantly narrow your search:)

I am going to look at one on Sunday its not too far from me which is always a bonus.

They are looking for £1500 and any tips i have had a look at the buying guide but just wondering what else too look out for.

Its a Samurai with a removable hard top. Looks quite tidy but from experience that means tiddly squat!!

Thanks

Oscar

all depends what it's like underneath and how well any mods have been done...


If it's been spoa converted, make sure that the spoa perches are parallel with the original perches if they are still on there....i.e. the axles haven't been rotated to point the diff at the transfer box.
