My Slow SJ 413 Samurai Build
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2011 1:02 pm
To start some history
I have a 2001 WJ Grand Cherokee which is a daily drive, it has a 2" lift & 30.5" AT Tyres. I took it off road a few times & it was pretty good despite it's size but was scarred to dent it. Also further mods were very expensive & mostly available only in the USA. So I knew I needed a SWB truck pref with a chassis & like the WJ proper axles. I bought my SJ of a mechanic
with full MOT & some tax for £500.
Took it off roading & it amazed me what it can do stock with tyres only slightly chunkier than road tyres.
The slow build
Replaced drivers side door handle getting the old one off was harder than putting the new one on.
Drivers side door knob came off glued it back on as it was shinny.
Removed the carpets
Removed one back seat to make space for tools & the spare.
The next step will be to get mud tyres which I think will make it awsome off road got my eyes on the Insa Special Track.
