Some updates on the samurai: It runs great, I used it a bunch at the end of the summer. The 32/36 is a perfect carb for this little engine. I still need to install the windshield. Once I do that I want to get a bikini top for it.
I am probably going to install different T-case gears. I think this would help the little sammy on the beach. it boggs somtimes in 2nd with the tires. I have decided on keeping a similar tire size. like a 31x10.50. I will purchase the new tires and rims sometime this winter. I thought I didn't like the look but its fun in the way hotwheels cars are and its growing on me for sure. I am thinking chrome rims of some sort would look really good under it.
I need to find a new targa bar and doors. the doors had too many rust holes for me to want to redo them. the hardware is all still good though. I just need some shells for a good price. I got a new old land cruiser so my work on this samurai has slowed down.
The cheep mirrors will be replaced. They flop around too much for me and just are annoying. Eventully I want to either get my seats reupolstered or buy new ones too.
All in all this samurai might become my daily driver in the summers. its really awesome to zip around in it.
Look I found a jimny friend.
