Well here goes..................
My name is Art and I live in Fayetteville NC. I am in the US Army where I am a Green Beret. I really am a newbie (compared to most) on the Samurai scene. I bought my first Sammi about three years ago while looking for a jeep. I still have the stock Sammi but wanted a trail rig. So I bought a sammi from a guy I know and drove it for about a year and realized it needed some major work. I went to a local salvage yard and bought the red Zuk you see for 100.00. It was missing the motor and rear axle. That didn't matter cause I was just going to do a tub swap. But after some research I got the title for the red one and decided to build it instead. Back in June 02 I placed a huge order with Rocky Road. Deluxe Coil Kit, KAD D-Shafts, 6:1 T-case, Lockers, Birfield rings, Over The Top Steering, Mege t-case mount, Rear Crawler Bumper w/tire carrier, Rock rails, and a bunch of interior bling, bling stuff. I also bought the front bumper from ShrockWorks (I co-designed it) I spent 9 of 12 months deployed to South America last year and didn't have much time to work on the Zuk. Last week I finally finished up the Coil install. It was a great sense of accomplishment as I bought a welder and did it by myself. I really look forward to getting the rest of the work done. It will be painted POPSICLE ORANGE just like the control arms. Then I have to install the complete wiring harness, motor/tranny, and the interior. I also have a Custom Gastank skid on the way and will be building a full cage so my kids can enjoy the Zuk as well. I guess that's about it. The bad news is that I will be deploying next sometime next week and will be gone for 6-9 months. The Sammi is just gonna have to be patient with me while I chase some bad guys!! If anyone ever has a question about the coil kit just ask. I can install it in my sleep (nightmares!). Below is a pic from the day I brought it home from the Junk yard. Big Difference!!! Later
I like the Long arms.
