Post all your Suzuki Samurai's!!!!

That's one nice Sammy what are the details on it? do you have a build thread?

Sorry no build thread. but specs are:

custom tig welded frame based off of a shortened set of scx10 rails
rc4wd toyota axles
mayhem beadlocks painted to look like Allied beadlock soft 8's
rc4wd r2 trans
HH cobalt mini puller
rc4wd bilstein lookalike shocks(have the longest ones i could get and they still limit my leaf spring travel!!)
Proline tsl sx's(close enough to the regular tsl's I have on the real rig)
zuk body painted and dented to look my real tintop.
 
Here is my little Sammy (and his thread). It is still in progress, of course. Hope to have some kind of cage and drop bed in the future.

I just found this thread today and saw one that looks just like mine here. Nice rig Keith!

So I saw this thread today, although I'm always on the hunt for the perfect streetable 1:1 I do have a little Sami in my arsenal. All the work is Pinchflats...thanks again bud.

Very simple but effective and light cage design, leaf sprung front, yada yada yada.
