Looks good Sam, I forgot Steve was going too. I would love to hear how his truck faired? Any body damage to that, almost too clean to wheel Lexus?

Hope you'll have her at Pismo in November Sam. I'm sure the pics just don't do the great work justice!

Nice video Sammy. Looking good. I assume the arms held up good. Any issues with the buid up, any bugs?

That is Alvaro behind me. You want to talk about driving skills, he is very smooth behind the wheel. also a great spotter (as were, pablo, rick, andy, joe, and even dunkane who's first spot was through a Very sketchy section of the trail through a hardline section). __________________ Sam Shaya 96' FZJ80 convertable 4x4 Labs Rear end/Custom shock mounts KING shocks/ other goodies, but you get the idea.

you guys have no idea what eye candy this rig was.
He showed up just as the sun set, and it was nearly dark out, but within minutes, he had 6 guys all over that rig like a NASCAR pitstop. guys were on their backs, humped over the 40 inch tires and climbing on the back like a jungle gym. He wheeled the snot out of it, and it ran great. Even got a little rain in it on the way home down the pass. Steve (619toy) made it thru the 'con without any hassles, shoot almost made it completely without a scratch. I told him he drove the cleanest lines out of anyone there. If he doesn't watch out, I'm stealing that rig. He makes a killer Tri Tip also. It's hard to believe he drove that trail so well with TWO dogs on his lap. Dogs rule. But still, that's some accomplishment. I've had hassles with dogs on a freeway, let alone at 40 degrees tilt and that elevation, dust, loud bangs and the sweet sound of sliders on granite. here's a few of PKP80 when he pulled up, he's been there for maybe 35 seconds and I caught him mid swing at his first mosquito. __________________ Pablo '94 FZJ80 210K 6M1,Optima Red Top, Bilstien'd, Mobil 1, DBA DnS front Rotors, 285/75 Revos, George's LED's, MetalTech Sliders, Slee Short Bus Front Bumper, OME 850/863 |

Thats why there are so few out there!
You could cut and splice a cage together and leave the roof on, but it wouldnt be near as strong, and it would take light years longer to build... Time is Money Sams rig was gutted of all interior carpets ect. No roof made it much easier to build...

The BEST part of all this. When I had to clean out the truck from all the mud and dirt, I merely stood in the second row and washed out the back half of the truck.

 Hydro assist is lined up, but I need to do some panhard relocation mods before I do the hydro. I might be able to do the hydro before, but that requires my getting up off my ass and measuring and poking around under the truck. So hydro assit, TBA. Along with a 3-link, completion of rear winch, and some other stuff. __________________ Sam Shaya 96' FZJ80 convertable 4x4 Labs Rear end/Custom shock mounts KING shocks/ other goodies, but you get the idea.

Nice, tough looking trail rig. How does it feel driving it thru Santa Monica and Sunset Blvd?
