Just an update.

I finally figured out my power steering problems. Got a toy IFS steering box saginaw pump. The angle the drag link was pushing on the tie rod was bad. Made a home made crossover steering arm :redneck: . That fixed it for driving it around but I don't trust it on the trail. So tomorrow i'm ordering Trail-Gears Hysteer kit.

Well just to prove that my Samurai has made it out on the trail here's a couple updated pic's.

Since the last set of pictures I've added 8" to the frame in the front with S/R YJ springs. I still need to get something done with the grill, also make some kind of front clip cage.

On this trip I broke the power steering pump shaft and, i'm now putting a diffrent pump on.
