Meet Frank - '87 Samurai 'buggy' :)

We took a little time off from getting ready for OSCAR and swapped in my old gas tank because the original one was rusty and had a ton of crud in it. Then went for a little ride.

Nice how did it do

LBarr2002 · Mar 31, 2013

shocks still need to be properly charged and the rear needs to be welded, but it works really well for what it is.

irmoxj · Mar 31, 2013

Sweet when is it going to see some trail time?

LBarr2002 · Mar 31, 2013

Plan is to take it to Gulches 4-27 if we can get a few things finished up before then.

irmoxj · Apr 1, 2013

ok sweet i think me and brian are going to plan a trip there soon so we might try to go then

LBarr2002 · Apr 1, 2013

That's the tennis ball event day. Tripp and Brooks are going to compete with it.

LBarr2002 · Nov 17, 2013

Got some work done this weekend. We stretched it 3-4 inches using stock CJ springs in the front. Also added front shocks, and it's now winch ready. Tripp has the rear shocks off to get them charged. Plan is to take it to Toys for Tots next weekend.

92 inches I believe. Its 1.5 inches short of being a stock tj

so its 12 inches longer than stock now...interesting haha. When I took it for the test drive saturday night there was a noticeable ride improvement with the softer springs.

LBarr2002 · Nov 18, 2013

Yeah, rear was 8" stretch to use stock front driveshafts in both ends. We were planning to extend the front shaft but found one laying around that fit perfectly.

Just to make it clear, the majority of modifications that happen on Frank are due to "something laying around" this time it just happened to be longer leafs, last time it was fox air shocks....

Tripp never updates this, so the latest "it was laying around" mod was power steering. Tripp took the Friday before the Gulches tennis ball event off work and spent the day at my house putting the box and pump off of the Sidekick that my engine came out of on Frank. It's much more fun to drive now, but I guess I'll have to come up with a new arm workout.
