In the 4 years since I bought
my 1987 Hardtop Samurai (nicknamed "Buster") as a high-school
graduation gift to myself, I have steadily been improving it from
stock into a more and more serious trail machine.
To fit my 31x10.5 BFG's on stock axles, I have a
custom 2" spring mount lift to match my 2" longer Con-Ferr
shackles. Driving the larger tires is a Weber'd, Thorley'd 1324
turning a Centerforce Gold clutch. This feeds into a Petroworks
GRS2 transfer case and a front Lock-Right and rear
EZ-Locker.
Protecting
things is Con-Ferr belly pan and Calmini front bumper, onto which
130-watt spotlights and 100-watt fog lights are mounted . A
Con-Ferr roof rack keeps things on the roof, and inside a radar
detector, CD player, amp, scanner and CB radio are mounted to the
roof to keep them high and dry.
Although most of my
wheelin' is on the beaches and forests in far Northern California,
I make many day trips on the Rubicon and other mountain trails
around my summer home near Tahoe.
