I almost bought a jeep

[lowranger]

Oh......and if you like running with no top and doors, laying the windshield down is good too.

 

[Fltjer]

That is a really nice setup!

 

[lowranger]

Thanks. Fixing up a trailer made out of a Samurai tub to tow behind it on the ranch.

 

[lowranger]

Oops.....wrong picture!

 

[Fltjer]

How do you like it?

How is it on the highway?

I like it a lot. It reminds me of the old willys jeep, you feel every bump in the road and it's not built for speed. That's fine with me because it's just a play toy. Had to modify the driver seat mounts for my long legs. It excels offroad and that's half the reason I wanted it. I think a mechanic designed it because everything is so simple and easy to access.
Makes me giggle everytime I sit in it.

Trying to send pictures from my phone and my fingers are too big. Doing body work on the trailer now and found some Jeep YJ flares to put on it.

 

[lowranger]

Yes.... I had a 1944 Willys and does remind me a lot of it.

 

[Fltjer]

I see you beefed up your cab area. Tell me about those nice seats.

 

[lowranger]

The guy I bought it from took some seats out of some other rig and put them in the Samurai. He did a great job. Looks like they belong in there. The drivers side is an electrically adjustable ..... and it works great!

 

[Chris]

Ha, these things are cool! They look like adult sized Power Wheels!

 

[lowranger]

They are great off road....not so much on the Hwy. Once they hit the dirt they're great. Like so many have said, its like a street legal side by side.

Came out nice. Love the white wagon wheels on the samurai and the trailer.

 

[Chris]

Trailer looks awesome!

Yes, wanted to match the wheels and tire size with the Samurai. Looks good and only need to carry one spare.

This thing is like a mini TJ!

This thing is like a mini TJ!

Yes it is. And it really gets around good too!

 

[Reign Mack]

Crazy! It's like a tiny little TJ in that case.

Engine is a bit wheezy though. In stock for they do submerge better than wranglers.

I imagine so, probably a lot less electronics than a TJ (which is saying a lot!).
