Daily Driver Samurai...

Might as well have a thread...

Cheap 91 Sami

All stock.

First was to replace the rear end and fix the broken driveshaft, oil change, and clean her up a bit...

Added some LED's, a stereo, 4 speakers, etc...

New seats were last weekends project... what a difference... best mod ever for a Sami...

Extra parts...

Final product...

I have put 3400 miles on her in the past 2 months... I am averaging 28mpg.

New wheels are at the machine shop. Have LT235's sitting here. New shackles are on the way...

One of those axles weighs more than the whole rig. :redneck:

Getting crazy with it...

Some Trail Tough shackles, F150 wheels fresh from the machine shop, some LT235's, and a touch of trimming on the front bumper...

****er is ready for the Rubicon!

Can you take a few pics of how the fiberglass top over the driver attaches? My second sammi I just bought has the same top/style... But isn't mounted... Not sure if I'm going to turn mine into a Daily Driver(I just bought it for the toyota axles, then figured I'd resell it with my locked sammi axles under it)... So... Keep it as a DD, or sell it off and let it be someone else's project... ;-)

It has some flat ubolt straps that go around the roll bar. I will try and get some pics for you.

 

[Poohbair]

This is how the front piece of the top mounts...

And I am not a sticker guy... but I had to have one...

So the Sami was down for a few weeks...

Throw out bearing made noise from day 1, but everything finally went to ****, and I didn't have time to fix for a while...


Ordered;
New LUK clutch kit
New Flywheel

Task was going easy, until I tried to put the new flywheel on.. no hole in the back for the index pin off of the crank. ****.

Off to the parts house to get the old one surfaced.


All said and done, one of the easiest clutch jobs I have ever done. No need for jack, bearing puller, etc..

Fresh fluid in the tranny and T case

Easy peasy, and works like a champ now

lol, yeah that tranny isn't exactly heavy
