All fitted up.
Gearing is noticeably taller. Seems to drive okay though. Will see how it performs on Saturday in the mud.
Bit of scrubbing on the front end as you lock it left and right. I've folded the seams around the bulkhead completely flat, and it's just clearing at the moment. Will probably have to lift the body by 1", and need to do something with the sagging rear springs.

Epic just Epic!
One day when roads fail, we will all need one of them to get around, and much fun will be had!
p.s. I love to see this parked in a corporate office car park next to Mr Audi man. Would be awesome to see his face as you get out in a suit walk into a business meeting! |

If you're serious about getting a green laner, the cheapest route would be to get a Vitara.
SJs and Vitaras (relatively standard ones) tend to fetch between £400 and £600 in road worth condition. But for that figure, you'll get a much better quality of Vitara than you will of SJ.
Decent trucks, SJ's fetch quite good money. The other issue is, they are a lot more temperamental than the Vitara. They're on average, a good decade older!
Today, I changed my steering wheel over to a dished drifter wheel as the old flat wheel was a bit of a thumb snapper!
The new wheel is about 1.5" dia bigger too, making it slightly easier to steer being non PAS.
I'm thinking about just buying an old rotter of a Vitara for £200, and looting everything from it, engine, PAS, front brakes, Master cylinder and servo etc, to stick on the SJ.

Yeah I am currently running the Swift GS engine, but I've a feeling it's cam'd differently to the SJ413 engine (Both G13a) as it seems to make all of it's power really high in the rev range.
My next big mod is to fit a pair of modified SJ Samurai axles as they are around 5" wider. I've already got a rear axle, just need to get a front.
The get them on, the spring seats need moving in 40mm each, and the prop flanges need re-drilling for the 410 shafts.
Because the axles are wider, but spring seats are moved in for the 410 springs (They sit closer together than Samurai springs), it gives loads of leverage when off road, and flexes up extremely well.
The only issue is the diff ratios are taller than the current 410 axles, meaning even less torque. 1.6 Vitara engine goes in pretty easily now, especially as I have already changed the mounts. All I'd need to do is buy an adapter plate for the gearbox, or do a bit of modding to the bellhousing bolt holes. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

I very much enjoy coming back to this thread when you post your updates, binge. The yellow machine is certainly looking like a beast on those bigger tyres. Nice work man |

Ah cheers mate
Bought a winch today off a mate. It's no 'superwinch' or 'warn', but it's okay and it works. 12,000 lbs pull capacity (about 5 tons?). Just racking my brains where/how to mount it. I want it inside the bumper really.
Also trying to figure out the best way to wire it. It's got a bit of a loom with it. A bit messy and chopped about. I think I am going to start over.
It's got the controller / solenoid box. No switch gear though.
Was hoping I could just wire the controller box to a 3-way rocker switch on my dashboard? And then a big fat isolator switch under the dash somewhere, easy to get to, for the main live. That way I can fully operate the winch from the drivers seat.

If you're happy with light green laning, then you can get away with a near-standard Vitara for well under a grand.
Ref the winch. It's all fitted and working. Only running off a switch in the cab at the moment. Going to get myself a wireless plug-in if it works well. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

My pal put this together from Sunday. He caught about 2.5 hours of footage so loads more to edit up still.

Flexes up well the old girl:

Went out to it the other morning. Drivers door handle snapped off in my hand. Damn frost!
Put a wanted on the SCUK forum, guy posted me one out free-of-charge, very nice of him!
Waited the week for it to arrive, and he's sent me another broken handle. Some sort of sick joke? aha
So ordered a new handle, didn't realize they were so cheap, and easily available.
Hoping it stays road worthy in case we get any snow. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!
