Re: Gday - New member Cass in the UK after 23 years in Oz
For a long wheel base, that's a pretty good price, I think. I'd keep a LWB standard though. I reckon the SWBs are more suited to off-roading as you're less likely to get beached on something. A LWB is more practical on the road as you get more boot space.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I hear you on that I beached my old Troopy a number of times, now there was a long wheelbase...

Well Gents I got one. A LWB 91 Samurai with a hardtop over the tray. Perfect horse for my (Hampshire) road surveillance work (Tree Surveyor on A & B roads) Just started this week. Having driven all the major 4*4 brands in Aussie, I have to say I think she drives real well.
Will upload a pic when I get one.
If I stick around in Blightey I will have to do her up.
Looking forward to testing her off road capacity.
Got a little spitfire…

The little horse road Wednesdays storm - Hampshire to Devon real well. Last time I drove a storm (dodged landslips) was in my Toyota Troop Carrier (Queensland 2010 floods)...

Sounds good! Let's see some pics!
What size tyres are you running? I would re fit standard length shackles, will make it drive nicer and perform better off-road. Lift shackles are awful when combined with standard springs and do more harm than good in many ways!

Original Shackles are on, your damn right she is a much better ride, Just need to track down a replacement carburettor and then get the rust cut out (sills & wheel arches). How do you upload a pic - I don't understand the URL link path…

Love my Samurai….
