I figured i would post a few pics of my 88 sammy, not done but done enough to drive, i built a cab for it, welded it on and made a window for it, kept part of the soft top and bottoned it on the back of the new cab, i hinged the tail gate to drop so i can load the hounds in the custom dog box i also made/powder coated for the truck, made some 2"shackles just to clear some 235/75/15". and made the brush gaurd/winch plate. welded suports under the hood to hold a few dogs up there, and powder coated with a grip type powder to keep them from sliping off the hood. got a list of other things to do, but short on time right now.

Very capable looking rig!  Thats how to build one to suit your needs.  Dogs on the hood?   

Nice rig!

I like the pickup style cab, thats gotta be nice and cozy when the temps drop!

Well ya know what they say, unless your the lead dog the view is always the same. lol

i think it should stay pretty warm in the cab,dogs on the hood to stike game, everyone wheels or hunts from  toyotas,not my cup of tea....  my 4 door ford sucks down the gas so i thought this would be a good idea to use a samurai, im liking it so far, would like to lift it alittle more, but dont want to with out gears. my goal was 20mpgs in the woods, i think its real close to that.
