Mikes Samurai build / use / fixing broken bits after abuse

Looks good Mike! I'd maybe think about having a play with the rear suspension though, maybe loose a leaf or 2 to soften it up and add an anti wrap bar if you haven't already got one looks like most of the flex is in the front at the moment and it will perform even better than it does already if the flex was a little bit more balanced and it would feel more stable in cross axle situations etc.

its got enough flex for me at the moment, it going to have a storage bit put int he back for spares and two spare tyres. as well as a winch. so lots of weight.

got the boggers on the wheels today ! properly wide !!

got some gussets and a fully floating rear axle kit on the way, with uprated shafts, so this should make it a touch more relierble.

il get some pics up when the boggers are on !! cant wait ! mud monsters this weekend should be a laugh !!
