A Couple Of Old Off-road Warriors

I have seen those Samurais moderately built up do amazing things in the dirt.

 

Funny how a 31” tire looks huge on them....but you got great approach angles.

 

The Sammy was my only vehicle where passengers wanted to walk and meet at the bottom of the hill we just went up . The low range is amazing for tight rough stuff . My daughter learned basic driving in mine at age 9 just incase she had to go for help on one of our adventures . School called me a few days latter requesting a conference , said that she was lying to the classmates saying I taught her to drive , Jaws hit the floor when I said I most certainly did . She still comments about how many vehicles we towed , " Out of the hole" so to speak . Kinda wish I still had mine . Have fun with it limitations and all , they sure fit between the ruts and still don't get brush striped too bad . Best $200 vehicle I ever bought even with a rod sticking out of the block . COOL photo , WR

 

Fun stuff Butch. That Baja bug is sweet ! Nice job on that build.. I had a Hi Jumper rail years ago with a built 2276 and dual 40 Weber’s. Was a little rocket at Glamis. I also had a Manx ( knock off ) several years ago with a little 1776 motor in it. Lots of fun at Borrego. Bruce Myers ( Myers Manx ) lived 2 houses up from me, and I used to chat with him about his latest creations. Unfortunately, he passed away last year. Was a neat guy.

 

I saw one of those Suzukis (modded) creep up out of Deep Creek (Big Bear) when the trail was all washed out. All the other vehicles had to winch their way up. Such cool vehicles.
