Not mine, but my mates, which i have lent a hand on. he probably wont mind but started to document it to a point.
First things first then, bought himself a little SJ samurai needing a bit of TLC, previous owner had a bit of an accident with an X5 i think it was.
So thats he got it, started looking around it and something wasnt happy with the way it drove, this bit i didnt get any pics off, but soon it was on the ramp with wheels off following replaced
UJ's on prop shafts
Wheel bearings all around
both diffs drained
new brakes front and rear
diff cases made up(will get a pic of these)
made up adaptor to bring rear shocks further in
new shocks all around, more travel and the others were buggered
new shock mounts on the front as new shocks are to long
im sure there is more
Then it was time of find a new front wing....we then found out how much a new front wing is, so they had a go at beating it out, not a bad job considering it was a crumpled mess
Was then all put back together and back on its wheels to check out the lift and start mounting the roll cage. First a set of rock sliders were made up, these should be sufficient
Cage mounting now, started to make the 2 roof ones
then onto the top front one, to tie into the windscreen cage
Here is the middle one being made up, this one is for protecting the top of the winch,
Will snab some more pics tomorow, of the diff plates, the winch mountings, hopefully should have some more of the cage mounted on aswell, then its onto the rear end for the cage.
few more things have been done just cant remember what at the moment lol.
None of this is my work, ive just lent a hand in taken bits off/putting back on, holding stuff etc, its my mate and his old man doing it in his metal fab shop. They have just bought another one now aswell so going to have 2 of them to play about in
what you guys think?
