Cool Zuk Ogre... I always thought a Samurai with a 1.9 TDI conversion would be really cool to have. Not sure I would love the smell of diesel fumes all the time though...

Just pour in a little peanut oil in with the diesel and it will smell like peanut butter and that will be much better.
Or, put some filtered cooking oil from a Chinese restaurant and the exhaust will smell like egg rolls
Filtered used French Fry oil will make it smell like you've got a McDonalds in the backs.

The only downside is it will wreck your diet!! :lol:

Nice Suzuki. I've had two so far. Sadly I've never been able to get them running. Seems someone allways comes by and buy them off me before I can do anything to them.
What can I say? I like Money!

slo-vo: Did you do a solid-axle conversion on your Ranger? I've got a buddy of mine converting his Ranger now. He went with full-width, D44 front, 14-bolt rear, all on leafs. It's got dual T-cases, and a shortened wheelbase/bobbed bed. It's a major project, but he's getting closer to being finished.

Finally got a pic of mine in action, always hard to get decent pics when you're driving. This was really a shakedown before I head off on a trip at Easter with the TD. The TD will have a RTT on it as well by then

Cheers

This is the most 'action' mine has seen in a while... I was testing for clearance issues after my front suspension/axle build. Unfortunately, I found more issues that will need attention before I can go wheelin' again (and before I can start building my TD). So the Swampers came off, and the street tires went back on after taking many pix of the problem areas for reference. I also had to snap a shot like this tho

If the wood pile could have supported it, it would go a little higher with all 4 wheels still touching the surface.

btw: It's a 2001 Jeep Wrangler: D44 rear, Disconnect HP30 front; Home-built stretched wheelbase, long-arms: triangulated 3 1/2 link rear (A-frame upper), 3-link+track bar up front; I run 33x12.50x15 Bias Swampers off-road and 265-70R17 Yokohama all-terrains on the road. It's got a 9k Superwinch, on-board air, AW4 tranny (with manual-shift option)... and many more mods.

After my build I'll be traveling the U.S. from great offroad site to great offroad site with my wife in my '08 FJC with numerous mods.
