The Shogun Build

[Hydra]

this is actually a project of my dads and mine to build him a rig. We bought the samurai last year from a guy down the road, the thing is mint, no rust cuz its from california. ~61k on the clock and thats mostly behind a camper. i dont have any stocker pics, but here what we've got already.

Sky Manu. Stage 5 SPOA
Sky's full shock mounting setup
Sky's Full High Steer Kit
A freshly rebuilt tranny
and misc other parts























thats pretty much it for now, looking for rims and tires then hopefully hell start wheelin with my locally and he might tag along to rausch if thats cool with the forces that be

updates:

my dad is trying to get everything done soon, we acquired some tracker 3rd members with 5.13's, front is installed in tracker aluminum housing, but the rear is being worked on to get the tracker ring and pinion in the samurai housing with a lockright. he also just ordered his tires and wheels, the 33" Cooper Wildcats (they were cheap), some pics

new height


look how tiny this driveshaft ujoint is


the pops welding up the bumper


and the bumper welded up


the bumper was a piece of 2x6x1/4" box, with a brush guard fabbed onto it, he just did a bunch of grill work to get it straight and didnt want it getting fawked up.

hopefully have the tires in by next week, and the rear 3rd member in this week, then ill get some wheeling pics up

My buddy had one of these years ago - bought it new when we were right out of high school. I think it was just a little over $20K. Did a lot of crazy sh*t in the strip mines of northern PA with that Sammi in stock condition.

Wheel on

Mur updaets- tires and wheels just came in, the 33x12.5's fill the wells so nice, I'll have pic up soon, all were waiting on is the rear third, had an issue with the lockrite we had installed with the 5.13's
