Gonna try and add a picture (new to the forum...). I love the Samurais and trackers...:wings:... Had an 87 convertible for a long time, then upgraded to a 96 Geo tracker (lifted 4in, custom bumpers, etc).
Just picked up an 87 hard top that has all the right parts (lockers, winch, lift, etc.). Got it home and found it to be a rattle trap and rust bucket (not used to that here in AZ).
Big plans...4.3v6 w/automatic, insulate cabin so A/C works in summer, lockers, lift, brake upgrades (not toyota axles yet), etc.
Most people who build samurais go the stripped down and rhino lined route. I am going the Luxury route. I am a Mercedes tech, and like G-wagens, so this will be my little g-wagen. :smiley_drive: - carpeting, sound insulation, comfy seats, etc.
It wont be a quick build, as I have to earn as I go to pay for it all, but I have a good start...Now to try and add a picture of what Im starting with...
