[QUOTE="lowbudgetjunk, post: 556305"] This particular Samurai has been passed around like a whore at prom. Some guy did this, some guy did that, parts here, parts there. I got it as a cheap way to stay on the trails with some extra money to finish up my buggy. True to my name, I am keeping this on budget and I am doing a piss poor job of Booty Fab to get this pig running right. So far, I have cut off the rear trac bar double joint and welded one end directly to the frame. i welded the front diff cover on, after pulling it off with my hand. There is a hole in the bottom of the diff itself, which is going to be welded shut at some point. Small leak and i am sure when I try and fix it, it will go to being a big hole. I am going to have to clearance the fenders in the rear. I have been grinding off a bunch of super sharp, pointy steel that has removed pieces of my scalp, hair included. Front output bearing is making noise, so the case is coming out tomorrow. Sheared four studs on the rear passenger caliper bracket, ripped the ears off the caliper and scored the brake pad down to the metal backing plate. Pulling it all out tomorrow to get it right. I have installed some extra lights, fire extinguishers and storage. I am going to replace the rear shocks due to being worn out and probably cut off all of the front suspension and put on some air shocks. It really needs some type of bump in there as well. It is noisy, bouncy and looks scarier than I care to admit. Like Shityota, this piece is for sale. I just want record of whats going on and the booty fab that I can take credit for and what was here when I got it.
